...Chapter 6 Property Accountability at Unit Level This chapter discusses concepts and procedures for accounting for organizational property and weapons. Another major concept introduced in this chapter is the command supply discipline program. It also introduces the basic methods for the relief of property accountability. 6-1. ACCOUNTABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY. Property accountability is one of the greatest challenges a company commander will face during his tour of duty. The commander can do many things during a command tour but still fail as a commander if he does not maintain proper accountability of his equipment. The commander has the responsibility to keep the unit's property in serviceable condition. The commander must stress to the soldiers that each person is responsible for all property in his charge and not just for property that is listed on the unit property books. Commanders must also ensure their soldiers properly account for unit property. AR 710-2 and AR 735-5 contain the Army policy for property accountability and responsibility. DA Pam 710-2-1 contains the manual procedures for property accountability. DA Pam 735-5 contains procedures for officers conducting a report of survey. Property Accountability. Property accountability is the obligation of a person to keep an accurate formal record of property issued to him.

...Inventory of Assets Introduction Inventory of assets is the accounting of information technology and systems, both hardware and software, that is necessary for maintaining a stable and accurate support in order to provide information security and assurance, disaster recovery, as well as to avoid service interruption. In any organization, it is important to have an organized list of all assets including hardware and software, as well as licensing. Company-issued laptops, smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices can be an easy target of cyber attackers. It is ideal to have an organized way of keeping track of company assets (i.e. spreadsheets or database). Quick references such as spreadsheets/workbooks or databases can easily provide reports of asset inventory containing type of equipment, count, value, asset tag information, software license number, license expiration, employee ID to whom assets are issued to, etc. As an employee of any company or organization, the company issued laptops, devices and other peripherals should be the responsibility of the employee that the item(s) is issued to. A stolen laptop could cause the company a huge amount because it does not only require the replacement cost, but has serious security concerns involved. According to Mitnick and Simon, “Even when security is being well handled within a company, there is too often a tendency to overlook the corporate network, leaving an opening that attacker(s) can take advantage of. Laptops and home computers...

Bibliography ……………………………………………………………. 10 Abstract Midway International Airport is located within a residential area in Chicago, Illinois. Handling hundreds of flights per day and millions of persons each year, securing the facility after the events of September 11th, 2001 should be the concern of not only Homeland Security officials, but every American. Current conditions of perimeter security appear to be impotent to anyone with an imagination to commit evil. The current conditions will be explained. Possible attack scenarios will be discussed, as well as how security officials can try to prevent future attacks by trying to anticipate the unperceived. Introduction Midway International Airport is located 10 miles from downtown Chicago. The Airport is only behind O’Hare International Airport, also located in Chicago, in local volume.

The Professional Development and Certification Program for the Procurement, Materiel Management and Real Property Community is a key initiative that supports the Government of Canada’s priority to strengthen and streamline government operations. The Program is designed to provide the tools to help functional specialists better serve clients and exercise higher levels of delegated authority in order to meet the challenges of an evolving and increasingly complex environment.

...The Truth about Guns and Rights Christine Tarver COM220 February 17, 2013 Lori Pash Amendments amend provisions to the Constitution. The Second Amendment’s provisions are in regard to a militia with the right to bear arms. The word militia is not specifically defined in the Constitution or within the Second Amendment. With no specific definition, this brings about many debates of whose rights these documents protect. The word militia in these terms can be defined as a “general” militia, made up of all able bodied men. This was a check on governmental entities and the belief that people could be protected by individual rights. In 2008, for the first time in American history the Supreme Court defined the right to bear arms. This took place in District of Columbia v. Heller. The Supreme Court stated the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to possess firearms independent of service in a state militia and to use firearms for traditionally lawful purposes, including self-defense within the home. Gun control laws in America are responsible for the possibility of who can or cannot purchase and possess guns; laws also give valid reasons to gun ownership. The right to bear arms has limitations and debates. The second amendment does not protect people against any and every weapon readily available. In fact there are obstacles one must cross before they legally have full ownership of a gun. The rules, regulations, and laws according to this process vary greatly from state...
