The Forces Of Logistics, Personnel Services, And Health Service

Taking care of Soldiers is why I am in the U.S. Army. I will always work to prove this

The Army accomplishes this mission by executing Title 10 and Title 32 United States Code directives, to include organizing, equipping, and training forces for the conduct of prompt and sustained combat operations on land. In doing so, the Army accomplishes missions assigned by the President, Secretary of Defense and combatant commanders, and transforming the future. The planning function of management ensures the mission is always the objective along with orders from the Commander In Chief.

The morale and welfare of the men and women that serve our country is considered one of America’s primary missions. Throughout the course of American history, the U.S. government has set forth initiatives as well as mandated laws; with efforts to provide aid and support services for members of the armed services.

“Our most valued assets, indeed, the Nation’s most valued assets, are our Soldiers and our solemn commitment must always be to never send them into harm’s way untrained, poorly led, undermanned, or with less than the best equipment we can provide,” stated Chief of Staff of the Army Gen. Mark A. Milley.

d. Logistical Supportability: (1) Deployability: required resources (less is better), (2) Infrastructure Needs: in-country evaluation of runways, road, bridges and other permanent structures which are required for combat operations (more is better), (3) Supportability: evaluation of required classes of supply and combat support personnel (less is better)

You are the brigade S4 and are planning operations that commence in 48 hours. You are coordinating with the brigade S3 during your planning process to ensure you fully understand the tactical requirements of the operations. Which two principles of sustainment are you applying?

In this essay I will be analysing the importance and use of command and control also I within a uniformed public service then I will go on to give bad and good examples of where command and control have been used. Command and control is one of the most important things in the uniformed services. Command and control is primary to the way in which the uniformed public services function. Without command and control the uniformed services would not be able to take control of situations which would require them to take control of, and make sure that the situation doesn't get out of hand so that lives are not lost. Command and control is important to the way in which the uniformed public services operate. It is the method by which they perform their tasks. Situations can require immediate and decisive action. Those responsible for command and control must be prepared, trained and practised in the

The Army Reserve provides Sustainment support duties for Active Duty missions. Sustainment Warfighting tasks provide support and services. There are three main Sustainment Warfighting Functions; Conduct logistics, Provide personnel services and Provide health service support. Sustainment tasks enable the Warfighting forces to extend operations and maintain capabilities. One of the most

There are three basic principles that govern the FSBP 2020 program are first, the ability to support a unit’s mission while remaining flexible to the senior leadership and providing the highest quality of housing to Soldiers (HQ, DA, 2014). The second principle is an understanding of the need to take care of Soldiers and provide an improved quality of life through an engaged installation – unit partnership. Lastly, the wise use of resources simply meaning effectively managing barracks to a 95 percent utilization across the installation effectively reducing the need for the unnecessary basic allowance for housing payments to Soldiers when space is available in single/unaccompanied housing (HQ, DA, 2014). Within the scope of these principles, units are required to establish standards and responsibilities for daily maintenance, repair and utilization, durable and expendable furnishings and the assignment and termination/clearing of

That is an important statement. The other services, the interagencies are dependent on the Army to provide support to their actions.

Stationed at Hunter Army Airfield, GA., The medevac was task to assist with disaster recovery when South Carolina was affected by catastrophic, life-threatening flooding. The Commanders, from the company level all the way up to Brigade, using operational sustainment, and knowing what the organization was capable of, were able to organize crews and make the decision to go. This required crews that were trained and proficient at the tasks such as hoist and over-water operations. The equipment necessary to do rescue operations, from the medical equipment up to having aircrafts available. This also meant sustainment in the form of organizational support from DART teams and operations personnel, all ready and providing help in the rear. We were able to accomplish what was asked of us because of training and leadership support at all levels. Sustainment relies on every individual within the organization to do their part, and leadership to be able to recognize deficiencies and have a plan to address this. All in an effort to become fully functional in their warfighting skills and mission

Webster’s dictionary defines the word profession as a type of job that requires special education, training, or skill. Many Soldiers would not consider the Army as a profession but a way of life. Some think the word profession belongs to everyday jobs like a plumber, mechanic, or doctor. Dr. Don M. Snider stated “the Army is a profession because of the expert work it produces, because the people in the Army develop themselves to be professionals, and because the Army certifies them as such” (Snider, D. M. 2008). In October 2010, the Secretary of the Army directed the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) to lead an Army wide assessment of the state of the Army Profession. We have been at war as a Country for over a decade and the Army

Army sustainment is based on an integrated process (people, systems, materiel, health services, and other support) indivisibly linking sustainment to operations. The concept focuses on building a combat ready Army, delivering it to the combatant commander (CCDR) as part of the joint force, and sustaining its combat power across the depth of the operational area and with unrelenting endurance (ADRP 4-0, Chap. 1, Intro.) Sustainment maintenance is off-system component repair and/or end item repair and return to the supply system or by exception to the owning unit, performed by national level maintenance providers. National level maintenance providers include the Army

Regardless of the recent policy changes, the distinction between combat and support roles are still unclear. “Since women are permitted to serve in such support units, a major barrier designed to keep them away from combat has vanished.” (Mackenzie) In today’s war there is no clear front line or a safe area in the rear, making combat support operations

The Army’s mission is to build forces capable of Unified Land Operations, able to operate effectively with Joint, interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational partners across the range of military operations to provide capable and ready forces to combatant commanders (CCDRs) in support of the National Security and National Defense Strategies, while sustaining and maintaining the quality of the All-Volunteer Force.
