My Five-Part Transformational Process Activity (TPA) will focus on the 305 Air Mobility Wing (AMW) Joint Base McGuire Dix Lakehurst, NJ (JBMDL) and the 305 Operations Support Squadron (OSS). My squadron currently does not have a mission or vision statement according to our commander, “it’s because of our diverse mission.” So, with that in mind I will use the 305th AMW Mission and Vision Statements.
305 AMW Mission Statement: Provide Rapid Global Mobility Excellence
We provide Rapid Global Mobility excellence by generating ready, professional Airmen and equipment to deliver superior air refueling, airlift, maintenance, aerial port, and mission support operations for the United States and our Allies anytime, anywhere.

Being in the squadron for a little over 3 months it’s easy to see areas that are lacking professional development and areas that needs improvement. This offsite meeting allowed the group and squadron leadership to bring awareness and discuss the overall rating of the wing’s assessment. The results helped the wing commander and leadership to identify organizational and structural diversity that has hindered the direction and development of the wing. The results indicated that some of current activities don’t contribute to the need of individuals followers. This is a problem that I’ve witnessed first hard and as I talked too members in the squadron. The problem is we lack advancers, refiners and executors many of our NCO’s and senior leader know there’s a problem, but turn a blind eye.
Let’s examine the section with the lowest rated area leading people by way of communication (feedback). To give you how bad this area is the wing overall rating was fair and I rated this satisfactory in my squadron. This area needed attention because people were telling me that weren’t getting feedback on EPR returned for corrections This rating generated many questions around the room about what barrier(s) are preventing us from giving feedback for the development of our Airmen?
Assessment:
When I considered Barrier Analysis, I thought about the
This book puts emphasis on the transformation of an American citizen into a marine and the importance of sustaining the change. It is imperative because our war fighting ability depends on a lasting transformation not only during the time of the individual’s Marine Corps career but also when he or she returns to their civilian communities.
The 4th Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT) has a proud history of accomplishments. It has served in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Historically, the morale across the brigade was high; leaders took care of their Soldiers, and all of them did their best to train them, accomplish missions successfully, and support them in any way. The 4th ABCT HQ, as well as each of the battalions, were highly efficient and effective, and most of them were jubilant to be part of the brigade. Three years ago, one of the best maneuver brigades in FORSCOM was the 4th ABCT. The brigade had focus; leaders and soldiers were dedicated, and there was a strong work ethics. However, the 4th is facing some challenges ahead that are going to make difficult to reach its full potential. Amongst several leadership problems, there is a major one. There is not an organizational vision in the brigade, and if there is, it is unclear and poorly evident.
This concise paper addresses a lifetime of learning on part of the author and the gracious graduated squadron commander interviewee who leant his time and wisdom. In the next few paragraphs the three key elements that will be addressed include: the author’s leadership philosophy, elicited in the hot seat from the Group Commander, a summary of the author’s commander interview, and an analysis of the interview through the lens of the author’s own philosophy.
Many higher ranking leaders may unintentionally make them feel disregarded because of this. When a new Airman joins my team it can take them months to open up and begin expressing their ideas. However, change is on the horizon- a year ago our Medical Wing developed an ‘Innovation Center’. All ranks are encouraged to attend a nine day Innovation Center course where they can openly share their ideas to improve our organization. Providers sit with technicians and Generals rub elbows with Airmen to learn Lean management and work together to develop improvement strategies and plans.
The Chief Petty Officer Mess has been around for 124 years. Over the last Century the CPO Mess has been hard at work to create the strongest leadership team in the military. In order to keep the CPO Mess strong we need perfect teamwork. An example of perfect team work comes from a flock of geese. The flock of geese have a strong sense of heritage, active communication, and loyalty to form the “Flying V”. These qualities are outlined in our Guiding Principles. There is a lot we learn from the Flock.
While the burden is a heavy one, it can be greatly lightened by the support of an effective team. The principals of mission command provide a framework
“My squadron performs well on graded event and inspections. We have a good atmosphere, cadets who believe they are doing well have developed this behavior in the last year. They mimic that operationally every semester,” “Empowering cadets to work solutions and problems on their own,” “Cadet chain of command, they understand the military side. Squadron adapts to changes well, the cadets keep squadron clean, hallways and the morale is good,” “I started the academic
The United States Air Force has engaged in aerial power to defend The United States and other nations in wars and has contributed to protection and well-being of other humanitarian efforts.
When I came down town to find the Prestera Center, I became lost right off and drove in circles for 20 minutes trying to find the building. I finally asked someone and they pointed me in the right direction. The center is kind of hidden by General Hospital, parking is across the street. The inner-change program is located in part of the building that has a long hallway and several rooms. Most of the rooms are the counselor’s and social workers offices. One room is like a lounge that has a television, drinks, and snacks for the kids. Another room is a classroom for the kids to be schooled in because they will not be attending their regular school for the 6 weeks that they are at Prestera. The last room is the therapist room where the kids spend most of their day talking with the therapist. The back door is secured with a code and if you go through the front doors, you walk into a waiting room filled with clients waiting to go back and be assessed.

So what’s next?? Everyone has done an outstanding job of bringing 20 new members into our squadron this year. But we have fallen short on member retention. We all must realize that it is just as important to have current members renew their membership as it is to have new members join. I understand things happen; health issues; financial issues; family issues. These are all unavoidable circumstances. But what about those that don’t renew for other reasons? As your newly appointed commander, I would like to focus on three points pertaining to our next step: member retention. First, how member involvement tends to help retention. Second, why the personal benefits of membership is invaluable. And third, why appropriate
There are several key areas identified in the unit that require supportive change management to improve mission capabilities. Kotter’s eight-step approach to planned organizational change can be applied as a recommendation, but first identifying the cause of military cuts, operational challenges and limiting factors must be identified.
Starting immediately the team and I will meet daily to discuss this issue. Before we commence I will explain what the Wing Commander’s goals are
Hi, good afternoon everyone. First of all, congratulation to all the bright shining WDs present here for all their efforts. For many I am a new face so let me introduce myself I am Shraddha following this wonderful life transforming philosophy for last 10 years. Thankful to my friend Vaishali who introduce me to this faith in Delhi and from last 8 years I have been practicing wholeheartedly in Dubai. My family got PR in July 2015. It’s difficult to uproot from a place where you were living comfortably for so many years. Sensei encouraged a man who has no choice but to move from Iwaki after The Johan coalfield closed-“I fully understand the difficulty of having to leave a place you’re familiar with and the members you care about. But the place where you are moving to will become your new place of mission, to carry out Kossen -rufu.” So I am just following my mission in this country and my heart is full of joy to share few of my victories in past 4 months.
