Naval Operating Base Case Study

The Makings Of A Navy SEAL by Brandon Webb and forwarded by Marcus Luttrell is about Brandon Webb's life on his journey becoming a Navy SEAL. Brandon went through very tough times and also learned how much it took to become a Navy SEAL. After reading this book, I became captivated on Branon’s life. I think that he was a great person and was surprised how much he had to go through to become a Navy SEAL and a Navy SEAL sniper.

The United States of America has not always been the world superpower that it is today. The same goes for its Navy. In the first several years of existence, the United States Navy was not a formidable fighting force. The young nation was hesitant to invest in a navy for many reasons, one of them being to prevent provoking the world powers of the time, France and Britain. On top of that, navies were very expensive to build and required a significant amount of resources to maintain, which the U.S. did not have at the time. To say that the United States Navy was ill prepared for war would be a dramatic understatement. The U.S. had a total of fifteen ships in its entire naval fleet compared to the might of the Royal Navy which possessed over six hundred warships. Even with the odds stacked against the U.S., President Madison declared war on 18 JUN 1812. The lack of size and power of the navy at the time would make it extremely difficult to satisfy the needs of the newly founded nation.

However, the fact remains that the Trident submarine is a new ship, and the shipbuilders could be faced with unrealized production challenges, such as mirror welds, which could slow down the build time and increase labor costs. These types of unexpected costs are the basis for the cost-reimbursement contract approach and remain a risk within every fixed cost contract. Fixed cost contracts also run the risk of reducing the quality of work in favor of remaining under budget.

The Naval Aviation Command Logistics Information Management Information System (NALCOMIS) Optimized Organizational Maintenance Activity (OOMA) is the Navy and Marine Corps’ primary aviation maintenance documentation system. Introduced to the fleet in 2007 by the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWARSYSCOM), it provided significant capability improvements such as the creation of the Auto Log-Sets, thus allowing the Naval Aviation Enterprise to track the repair history, Technical Directives, etc... for individual repairable components throughout its life. The developers failed to ensure integrity of the Automated Log Set by not limiting the amount of times a component with the same part and serial number could be created.

d. use a host of different cost drivers (e.g., number of production setups, inspection hours,

Froya Fabrikker A/S of Bergen, Norway, is a small company that manufactures specialty heavy equipment for use in North Sea oil fields. (The Norwegian currency is the krone, which is denoted by Nkr.) The company uses a sob-order costing system arid applies manufacturing overhead cost to jobs on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, the following estimates were made for the purpose of computing the predetermined overhead rate: manufacturing overhead cost, Nkr360,000; and direct labor-hours, 900.

As guidance for the basis of the future Naval Integration in enhancing ability to face the future challenges of the 21st Century, the Expeditionary 21 shown the important aspect of the own capability against the way to respond the challenges, whereas will continuously to be characterized in demand a force within capabilities for global response. Therefore, for USMC being expeditionary is a “strategically mobile and light enough to get to the crisis quickly,” and its operate on and from the sea, in and from the air, and on the land. US Marines is optimized to be “expeditionary” within Naval characteristic influence to meet the coming challenges. The potential threats and issues shown on the surface in certain area are directly affected US interests

The next picture is the sign and building of the Amphibious Training Base which is located on Silver Strand between the Pacific Ocean and San Diego Bay. The base  was obtained by the Navy in June 1943 as a training base for amphibious warfare. That was its purpose throughout the war. The training base became known as the home of the "Alligator Navy". This is because of all the  types of amphibious landing vehicles called "alligators". The base was taken over by the Navy after the war. The facility was active throughout the Cold War as well. The land was created from the excavation of the San Diego Bay to allow large ships to steam into Naval Station San Diego. These boats were used in World War II. The base is the only Naval amphibious base

Looking at the parties involved in the negotiation, it was clear that each party would have agendas that would be in conflict with each other. For instance, the other ports in the region would like the highest compensation possible while Harborco would like the lowest compensation. Additionally, each party would also have a minimum threshold score that they would need from each outcome before they would support the project. Therefore, it is clear that this is an integrative negotiation which requires joint problem solving to achieve

To meet with Navy Munitons Command (NMC) East Asia Division (EAD) Unit Guam personnel to obtain a random sample pull of past issue transactions as well as the file documents relevant to the selected issue transactions as it relates to the Management of Conventional Ordnance Inventory Accuracy.

In planning for my negotiation, I reviewed the Supplier Payoff Matrix for each of the issues to be resolved. The issues which were likely to offer least resistance were the Electronic Integration and the Inventory. The next issues that were likely to have some pushback were the Quality and lot size. We kept to the last the more contentious issues that included price, volume flexibility, development fees and contract term.

I believe the primary purpose of having military bases in different countries such as colombia or afghanistan is so that the United States will be able to respond to events that could arise but would take longer to respond to from the United States itself.I think they mainly focus on a more quick response time but they do also contribute to peace and stability by being that close to a certain place. I think the bases are less important in the modern day since we have missiles capable of traveling miles and the ability to communicate around the world in an instant. I think the amount of bases should be cut down but be more equipped with more people and be evenly spread out between countries to raise potential response times to certain events.

b) Another alternative should be using the negotiation method in order to develop a “win-win” situation. A negotiating party would have to be applied, “When a long period of time is required to produce the items purchased” (p 375). In these circumstances, suitable economic price adjustment clauses must be negotiated. Opportunities for various improvements may develop, such as the new manufacturing methods, new packaging possibilities, substitute materials, new plant layouts, and new tools. Negotiation permits an examination and evaluation of all these potential improvements. Competitive bidding does not. The advantage would be assurance of a long-term business with the Company along with reasonable profit for the supplier and reasonable cost for the buyer.

The operational environment is the framework the military uses to define a how we will create a concept to defeat an enemy. To help paint the picture of the operational environment the Army uses the acronym PMESSII-PT. PMESSII-PT stands for Politics, Military, Economic, Social, Information, Infrastructure, Physical Environment, and Time . I do not believe there are one or two areas that can be focused on and have a successful outcome in combat. GEN David Petraeus stated, “there are no purely military solutions in Afghanistan.”1
