Us Armys Supply Support Activity

The Process is that when received, all items are counted manually and taken to the warehouse - loaded on to special shelves. Information is recorded on the computer. Each department identifies goods needed. A list is made and items taken for display and sale in the shop. Department staff replenish the shelves when needed under close supervision and management in order to supply a high class service to customers.

The SSA is the lowest level of support in the Army supply support system and is the keeper of the ASL which belongs to the Army Materiel Command (AMC) until the item is requisitioned, purchased and issued to the customer. As previously mentioned the SSA consists of five sections. These sections work independently of each other, yet they are so intertwined with one another, the success of the SSA depends on their synergy.

I am Robert Turner, and I am requesting to be selected as the Supply Officer for the unit next year. I would like this position because I want to be able to really maximize the capabilities of the unit with the gear that we have available to us. I went to the MMA trip, and the thing that stuck with me is the Gunnery Sergeant, in the midst of the yelling, told me “if you lose your gear, the enemy will kill you with it”. This isn’t saying that we have to worry about dying if we lose a cover or belt, but I will make sure that any missing gear is returned swiftly and with the utmost importance to detail. I will also check with cadets in the unit on a regular basis to see how all their gear is fitting and if they will need anything. I

The warehouse staff will need to move items to temporary storage locations, assist in setting up racking, and restocking shelves. Our data entry department will be required to update each item with package sizes, weights, and warehouse location information.

Each project consist of an average of 17 to 20 people some civilian and the others are military. As the lead operation officer he must ensure each project is on schedule and the equipment, training, is processed on expected delivery date. Milton is responsible for delivery of products in 7 to 10 Europe Countries. The hours are long and it vital that the inventory is delivered and set up according to schedule. (Milton E. Maddox, CPT, SC Operation Officer, 2016, January 23) Milton mentioned that his job detailed is more than the supply chain process and operations officer. Often times he assists in the development and execution of the DISE operational budget. The G8 Financial Manger oversees the budget and processes the information to Milton. (Milton E. Maddox, CPT, SC Operation Officer, 2016, January 23) After discussing the details of his job specification we examined its strengths and weaknesses.

There is something about an old man sitting in his rocking chair sharing stories that sparks just about anyone’s interest. It just so happens that man was my grandfather, telling stories about his experiences serving in the military, I couldn’t help but sit and listen in fascination. He had so much to say; from how he had two pet monkeys during the war, learning how to ask for tea from a Vietnamese man, to desperately trying to sleep through the haunting visions of dead bodies he had seen in combat. My grandfather is a strong man, but even so, he still needs help in some aspects of life after serving in the military. He began to tell me about his trips to the Department of Veteran Affairs Clinic and the medical support he received. He said to me, “Now baby girl, Lord knows I am thankful for the aid government offers, but I sure wish some things were different. Not just for me, but the Veterans out there that need more than I do.” This was something that really made me think about what our government does offer and how it effects our citizens. Some would argue that we have ample support opportunities and the government is offering all that is needed, while others would argue there is not enough aid and the government is not, in fact, doing everything they can to help the men and women who have served our country.

The overall business for the U.S. army is simply to fight and win the nations wars by using a full range of operational tactics. One domain which the Army relies upon is cyber. Without the ability to communicate across boarder and into dark areas of the world, the U.S. armed forces, to include the U.S. Army would be hard pressed when devising plans to win. However, to remain the superpower the world looks to during times of strife, organizations such as the Army must define the technological edge, and ensure the organization keeps upholds that standard. To fulfill the requirements associated with defining the edge, decision makers must remain aware of change. Unfortunately change happens, and requires a reevaluation to ensure the organization has not, or will not become stagnant. If events were to occur, the organization would no longer be able to define what it is to be on the edge of technology. Moreover, the organization could also easily find itself in a situation where it is hard pressed to devise the plans required to win.

This course needs to consist of more hands on, interactive activities. Each day should include a “field trip” to one of the many supporting agencies that we deal with on a daily basis. New Drill Sergeants should be introduced to the point of contacts and be briefed on how each organization operates and what is expected to remain in compliance and accomplish the goals smoothly and efficiently. Beyond transforming civilians into Soldiers, which is the primary mission of the Drill Sergeant, they are also required to make coordination with outside agencies to handle specialized training, provide logistical support, and ensure that each trainee’s daily needs are met such as nutrition and medical
