The Warrant Officer Program is also affords me a great opportunity to serve as a key member of the detachment leadership. I have served on teams both with and without warrant officers and recognize the importance of this role. The warrant officer is a key source of continuity for the detachment due to the longevity provided to them. This allows them to pass guidance on to new team leadership and minimize disruptions in training during leadership changes. This longevity and continuity is vital to the shaping of the team, developing the long term path, and ensuring mission

Officers, Warrant Officers, and enlisted personnel have had to adapt to a new way of doing business. The language bridging alone from legacy to GCSS-A has relied on the Warrant Officer to educate and train the forces across the Army. This change has also caused a learning gap between those in the field and those detached from

NonCommissioned Officers are the backbone of the Marine Corps.   Each leader is very different from the other.   Some Marines enjoy being a corporal only because of the increase in rank and pay.   A few become the tactless leaders junior Marines try to avoid.   Fortunately, many others strive to become the leader that other Marines wish to emulate.   They know what it means to be a good leader.   Those Marines have the traits of a leader and they get to know their Marines

Special Forces Warrant Officers are considered subject matter experts in all aspects of Special Operations. At the team level, Warrant Officers are responsible for operations and intelligence fusion, planning at all levels of the operational continuum, integrating emergent technologies, and future operations planning. After the completion of team time, Warrant Officers may serve in staff positions, or on specialty teams.

those leadership traits we learned as NCO’s. I have seen, and heard, too many times about fellow 150A’s that take a very hands off approach to leadership when they go to the company level as platoon leaders. I feel this happens because those individuals now think they don’t have to work as hard anymore simply because they are now a warrant officer, when it is the exact opposite. As a warrant officer you are now looked upon as the subject matter expert not only by your Soldiers, but your NCO’s and commander. As an NCO Soldiers look to you as someone whom sets the example on what to do, this is exponentially truer as a warrant officer. Furthermore,

Mission accomplishment demands that officers and NCOs work together to advise, assist and learn from each other. Responsibilities fall into two categories: command and individual. Individual responsibility as a noncommissioned officer means you are accountable for your personal conduct. Soldiers in the Army have their own responsibilities. For example, if you write a check at the commissary, it is your responsibility to have sufficient funds in the bank account to cover the check. Individual responsibility cannot be delegated, it belongs to the soldier that wrote the check. Soldiers are accountable for their actions, to their fellow soldiers, to their leaders, to their unit and to the United States Army. As a leader you must ensure that your soldiers understand clearly their responsibilities as members of the team and as representatives of the Army.

In 2013, the Army’s promotion process for Warrant Officers selected for Chief Warrant Officer Three were very easy. There was a basic list of accomplishments that needed to be met and the promotion was all but guaranteed. Now that the Army is in a drawdown stage, the promotion requirements have changed with regards of promoting Chief Warrant Officer Two’s to the rank of Chief Warrant Officer Three. Now in 2015, there has been additional requirements such as diverse positions, Professional Military Education (PME), Civilian Educational Degree’s required, duty performance to include soldier task and requirements and even strict evaluation requirements. With these changes, it is allowing a lot less to be promoted as well as putting some into the category of two time pass over’s and having to retire from the military. This process is helpful for those who entered the military during the surge and have less than stellar records, however makes it challenging for those who are in duty positions where they cannot complete the necessary requirements for the advancement of this new promotion

Unity of command will further solidify the importance and use of the chain of command and eliminate confusion on who the employees

was responsible for. Allowing the DCO to function as deputy commander is vital to ensuring

Command and Control in such a way is a very self-controlled discipline system in organisation. In the London riot case, I in my view could not think that it could work anyway better, then it is working at the moment. I in my view think it actually is very well despite the escalation and a lot of damage that was done. Several of the services had to go through challenging situations and even though they went through a lot of challenging situations, they somehow still managed to uphold developments and be organised. Due to all the squads had strategic commanders which literally obtain authority over the lower ranks officers and this can potentially lead, giver instructions, instruct, guide or finally coach them where essential.

Commanders set overall policies and standards, but all leaders must provide the guidance, resources, assistance and supervision necessary for soldiers to perform their duties. Mission accomplishment demands that officers and NCOs work together to advise, assist and learn from each other. There are two categories a Noncommissioned Officer’s responsibilities fall under: command and individual responsibilities. Command responsibility refers to collective or organizational accountability and includes how well the unit performs their missions. For example, a company commander is responsible for all the tasks and missions assigned to the company; his superiors hold him accountable for completing them. Commanders give military leaders the responsibility for what their sections, units, or organizations do or fail to do. NCOs are therefore responsible to fulfill not only their individual duties, but also to ensure that their team and unit are successful. The amount of responsibility delegated to you depends on your mission, the position you hold and your own willingness to accept responsibility. Individual responsibility means you are accountable for your personal conduct. Soldiers in the Army have their own responsibilities. Individual responsibility cannot be delegated; it belongs to the soldier that wrote the check. Soldiers are accountable for their actions, to their fellow soldiers, to their leaders, to their unit

SGMS has $8.1B of debt and $-1.7B of equity by 2016Q2, with a D/E ratio of -4.9x.

The company I choose to summarize current SCM practices and to make specific technology recommendations on how to improve them as a company is Target. Target is one of the biggest U.S. retailing store in the world along with the big juggernaut Wal-Mart. The company was created in 1903 by John Dayton and from then to now the goal of Target was and still is to fulfill the needs and fuel the potential of their guests. To be more specific, to make Target the people 's preferred shopping destination in all channels by delivering outstanding value, continuous innovation, and exceptional experiences—consistently fulfilling our Expect More.

UPC bar codes consist of 12 numerical digits that are uniquely assigned to each trade item. Along with the related EAN barcode, the UPC is the barcode mainly used for scanning of trade items at the point of sale. This feature helped put Target at the top of its competition by improving the management of its inventory and made decreased the time of the customers to wait on their items being checked out.

This Chapter draws conclusion on the 64 papers that were selected. There is a wide variety of theoretical approaches and methodologies adopted by the researchers to study the impact of information technology(IT) in supply chain management (SCM), explain its benefits and drawbacks, and analyze the current trends in the development in the IT field. The findings will be classified with respect to the research objectives discussed in the methodology chapter. The research objectives are discussed in depth and each section will aim to answer research questions that were set.
