...hateful to Americans. Now an army is a team. It lives, eats, sleeps and fights as a team. This individuality stuff is a bunch of crap. The Bilious bastards who wrote that stuff about individuality for the Saturday Evening Post, don’t know anything more about real battle than they do about fornicating” (1944). Part-time Warriors, Weekend Warriors, An Army of One? None of these notions would seem to pass the common sense test of General George S. Patton. Soldiers go to battle, not citizens. The idea that a soldier who has wholely commited his life and foresaken his personal freedom to the idea that he will spend each and every waking moment engaged in the pursuit of the defense of democracy by the means directed by the leaders of America appointed by the people of our nation, can be compaired to phrases such as; Part-time Warriors, Weekend Warriors, An Army of One is not only absurd but an outrage. Military service is not an occupation. It is a way of life. To give Reserve Soldiers the overwhelming responsibity of achieving the same level of proficiency as a Regular Army Soldier given a measly six weeks a year of preparation and training is not only irresponsible but criminal. The history of the Reserve Army dates back to August 23, 1908 with the passing of Senate Bill 1424 (Brown 2008). The Reserve force was a Medical Corps and the first reserve force until 1912 when the Army Appropriations Act of 1912 allowed for Regular Army Reserve force (1913). The plan was to...

...Teller or Personal Banker to provide exemplary customer service, the acquisition and retaining of customers, cross-selling product, evaluate, and maintain the basic banking functions. You want someone with cash-handling and clerical experience. I am the woman for the job. While in search for these qualities, please consider me for the position. For nine years I have been in the United States Army Reserves working my way up in ranks and responsibility. As a soldier, I have learned how to lead, and most importantly to serve. Not only have I obtained good leadership skills, but also human resource skills by taking up an admin position as a Human Resource Specialist. In this position I have organized hundreds of files for soldiers, gaining invaluable experience tracking reports, records, and memos. I also worked as a team leader to assist my squad leader in counseling tactics, advising the team to provide purpose, motivation, and direction, as well as conducting research for any necessary Army Regulations and form instructions. Attention to detail and accuracy are vital in everything we do in the Army. Currently, I am the Customer Accounts Manager for a franchise retail store called Aarons. While managing, I am directly involved with employee relations, employee issues, as well as the hiring and firing process.

...Cost Savings and Training Experience of Convoying To Extended Combat Training WOILE 16-008, CW3 Erik Bares I have served in the Army Reserves for over 19 years. During this time frame, I have attended numerous Extended Combat Training (ECT) throughout the continental United States. As a Heavy Wheel Mechanic and now as a Unit Maintenance Technician assigned to a line haul transportation company, most of our training is hands on. During these convoys we are able to experience more “real world” training scenarios and encounter a wider variety of maintenance issues than we would normally experience on a routine Battle Assembly weekend. This training is invaluable to Soldiers and helps them achieve a better understanding of why proper Preventive, Maintenance, Checks, and Services (PMCS) are so important and what to keep an eye on while performing future PMCS. Observation 1: Using civilian contractors to transport line haul Army equipment can be extremely expensive. Discussion: The 353rd Transportation Company is a bulk fuel line haul unit. The unit often participates in an annual Quartermaster Liquid Logistics Exercise (QLLEX). These exercises require the transportation of bulk petroleum from refineries to petroleum storage tanks or petroleum bag farms. These exercises usually require over a million gallons of fuel to be transported, which requires multiple units and large numbers of tractor and tanker systems to haul this. Our unit alone, usually supplies over 20 systems...

...I don’t see a career in the U.S. Army as an obligation but as a privilege. This is a once in a life time opportunity for me to uphold. I am ready to take a leap of faith and embrace my future. Growing up in a family where I was not encourage to make anything great of myself, only made me fight harder to become someone successful. I am a current college student who will be walking the stage of Manor College this May of 2014 with my Associate Degree in Science. But I am not finished yet; starting in the Fall of 2014 I will begin my training for becoming an RN-BSN and fulfilling my dreams. I currently hold an accumulative GPA of a 3.5 while playing 3 sports, which are Rugby, Volleyball, and Softball. As you can see even with a busy schedule I still have the ability to succeed. I was put on this earth to change people’s lives and to share my heart of gold with the world. Joining the Army ROTC Program will not only grant me with an opportunity like no other, but will get me once step closer to achieving my goal of becoming an Army Nurse for this country. I have always put people before myself and will continue to do so, but this opportunity will give me the chance to make a difference and leave imprints in the hearts of those whom I’ve helped. I cannot get this experience anywhere but here. This 4 year scholarship would be an honor and help me become a part of something bigger, but I need your help. As a leader I am already one step ahead of the rest. I have the drive, ambition, brains...

...Force Management in the British Army As leaders in the United States Army, it is important to understand the capabilities and limitations of our strongest allies. As stated in the Quadrennial Defense Review, “Central to the security of the United States is a strong transatlantic partnership, which is underpinned by the bilateral relationships between the United States and the governments of Europe” (QDR, 2010). As the United States military undergoes sequestration, we will become increasingly more reliant on the support of our strongest allies to deter our enemies and, if necessary, project the international will to our collective enemies. In order to fully understand their system, it is important to understand their current force structure and the radical changes they are making under Army 2020, their current manpower reduction plans, their equipment capability development and material development systems, and the documentation methods. British Military as our Strongest Ally Over the last decade, the British has been our strongest ally in Afghanistan and Iraq. Currently, the United Kingdom is one of only three countries with a brigade deployed to Afghanistan (US, UK, and Germany) (NATO, 2013). They currently have 7900 personnel deployed to Afghanistan which is more than 9% of the coalition total. As Force Managers, it is important for us to have an understanding of the force structure, personnel, and equipping plans of our strongest ally in order to have an appreciation...

...The Sequester Policy What is the sequester policy that you have heard so much about? Well, the sequester policy is a big package of policy cuts that is a part of the BCA act (Budget Control Act). This act was passed in August of 2011. The budget cuts are supposed to equal over a trillion dollars total! This is supposed to continue from the year of 2013 to the year 2021 divided perfectly in the 9 year time period. They are also evenly split between defense spending and discretionary spending, which is spending on things like medicaid and social security. Just for the year of 2013, the cuts total cost came to a total of one hundred and nine billion dollars. (Suzy, 2012). The Sequester was actually designed in 2011 to force The Joint Select Comittee on The Super-committee to agree on a reduction package. The sequester will dramatically save a lot of money each year, saving 940 billion dollars and interest by 200 billion dollars. Nine tenths of the savings actually come from discretionary appropriations. Majority of the madatory programs, this including (social security, medicaid, food stamps, and verterans' benefits) are not included for the sequestation. Of course there are more that will be exempt, but those are the fast majority of them. Not only will the defense spending be cut by almost ten percent, while the majority of the non-exempt, non-defense spending by nearly seven percent, medicare by two percent, and other madatories by seven percent. (Understanding the Sequester...

...OVERVIEW UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE FISCAL YEAR 2014 BUDGET REQUEST APRIL 2013 OFFICE OF THE UNDER SECRETARY OF DEFENSE (COMPTROLLER) / CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER Preface The Overview Book has been published as part of the President’s Annual Defense Budget for the past few years. This continues for FY 2014, but with modifications as proposed by congressional staff. From FY 1969 to FY 2005 OSD published the “Annual Defense Report” (ADR) to meet 10 USC Section 113 requirements. Starting with the President’s FY 2006 Budget, this report was no longer produced. Subsequently, the Overview began to fill this role. This year to ensure compliance with Section 113, new chapters are added to include reports from each Military Department on their respective funding, military mission accomplishments, core functions, and force structure. Key initiatives incorporated in the FY 2014 Defense budget. Our budget is formulated based on aligning program priorities and resources based on the President’s strategic guidance. This year’s budget involves key themes to: achieve a deeper program alignment of our future force structure with resource availability; maintain a mission ready force; continue to emphasize efficiencies by being even better stewards of taxpayer dollars; and continue to take care of our people and their families. Implementing Defense Strategic Guidance. The FY 2014 budget request continues the force structure reductions made in the FY 2013 budget request. Following...
