...required to be contracted for using other than full and open competition. Cite the authorization and provide the rationale/requirement for using that method. The subject solicitation for support to the US Army Corps of Engineers is for a single award task order contract (SATOC), requiring a wide range of professional services in the areas of restoration, conservation, compliance, prevention, technology, sustainability, energy and scientific studies. These type of services associated in the contract must be solicited in a full and open competition because the requirements are not unique and there will be more than one responsible provider that could very well accommodate all these type of services. To be able to justify these criteria, a full market research must be initiated by the US Army Corp of Engineers. The acquisition planning and market research must be prepared before the composition of the solicitation. The requirements for support of The US Corps of Engineers (USACE) must be well defined in the acquisition planning and documented in a Statement of Need, which should explain the events that led to the requirement of technical support. The statement must also have the answer why the services are needed, referencing other documents such as Mission Statements and Strategic Goals. Since this requirement was identified as a Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC), the procurement authority provisions fall under Title 41, Chapter 4, Public Contracts, section 253h. The...

With his wife, Catherine, he "reached for the worst," rather than cultivate the comfortable middle class.In 1878, by a fortunate inspiration, the name was changed from the "Christian Mission," to "The Salvation Army." Immediately, the movement captured the public imagination. Incorporating paramilitary ranks and uniforms, the movement spread throughout the British Isles. In 1880 the first missionary, George Scott Railton, was sent to New York. With the aid of seven untutored "lassies," The Salvation Army was soon on its way along the East Coast.Work in the West beginsConditions around San Francisco's Barbary Coast begged for a religious revival. Some sincere Christians, feeling that Booth's organization was needed, asked for officers to be sent there to form their group into the first corps in the West.

It is a rational approach used in businesses. It starts with management thinking strategically, then applying steps and thought to a process. This process should be understood by everyone in the business. Although it starts with upper management, it should be implemented throughout the entire business and everyone should be included. According to Popescu, in the International Conference on Management and Industrial Engineering “The process of strategic management consists of an ongoing analysis, decisions, and actions activities to create and sustain competitive advantages in order to obtain desired competitive position and achieve strategic objectives”(Popescu,2013). This process is not one simple step and can be complex. It is not a onetime occurrence and can happen multiple times. The ongoing analysis, decisions, and actions that are performed should include all people involved. Everyone should be on the same page throughout the strategic management process. Goal Setting It is important for any business to set goals. Goals give businesses a purpose. It helps to organize the direction in which a business should take. Businesses should always have goals and let the goals be clear. Goals should be clear to both managers and employees. Short term and...

This concept originally created to help Noncommissioned Officers (NCO) of the United States Army (Army) better identify Sexual Harassment/Sexual Assaults (SHARP) and counteract it by building a foundation of trust with their junior enlisted Soldiers in their formations. His initial foundation of NIMS was able to set conditions and expand better than he could imagine. Instead of just focusing on SHARP related issues he expanded to teaching better leadership skills, training, and physical fitness. He took a hard line at changing the toxicity of the NCO Corps and created an environment of...

...reactions of loyalty, selflessness, and heroism. Conversely, uncontrolled combat stress causes erratic or harmful behavior that disrupts or interferes with the accomplishment of a unit’s mission. Any uncontrolled combat stress can impair mission performance and may bring disgrace, disaster, and defeat. The art of war aims to impose so much stress on enemy soldiers that they lose their will to fight. Both sides try to do this and at times accept severe stress themselves in order to inflict greater stress on the enemy. To win, you must control combat stress. The word “control” is better than the word “manage” to emphasize the active steps that leaders, supporting personnel, and individual Soldiers must take to keep stress within an acceptable range. This does not mean that control and management are mutually exclusive terms. Management is, by definition, the exercise of control. Within common usage, however, and especially within Army usage, management has the connotation of being a somewhat detached, number–driven, higher echelon process rather than a direct, inspirational, leadership process. Stress is the body’s and mind’s process for dealing with uncertain change and danger. Elimination of stress is both impossible and undesirable in either the Army’s combat or peacetime missions Combat and Operational Stressors Combat and operational stress will affect you and your Soldiers throughout your military careers. But, as a leader you must learn and teach your Soldiers...
