While I was in the Army, I was a young company grade officer. I want to stress that this is one young officer’s opinion. When I cite a fact or research, I will source it. Otherwise, please take this as a young officer’s critique and analysis. In other words, this critique is intended as a spring board for a discussion; it is not a multi-page paper designed to be entered as evidence in a court. This evaluation is my attempt to reconcile how my particular unit could have seen improvement in both its command climate and in its mission attainment. It is not intended to be an indictment on the U.S. Army or the Infantry on a macro level. Also, when I am referring to the Army as a whole, I will try to remain gender neutral as much as possible. When I refer to someone in a generic infantry unit...

...Command And Control In Public Services Command and control is used within all public services in order to carry out tasks/operations in an effective, efficient and proper manner. Without command and control, the public services would not function properly and the employees within those public services would not be able to carry out their roles and responsibilities properly. It is important that all public services employees are over trained in their job just in case they need to work in a situation on their own without anyone else telling them what to do. For example, if a member of the ambulance service is by himself/herself and comes across an individual who has been run over, they must know exactly what to do and how to cope alone, and this is an example of why it is important for the public services to be over trained in their job. Every public service carry out different roles and responsibilities and it is through command and control that the individual is able to carry out their daily tasks in an effective and efficient way. Command and control ensures that the individual knows EXACTLY what their job entails and it ensures that the individual is fully trained and over trained in the job they specify in. Command and control in the Army is highly important for military exercises such as drill practise/competitions. The individual in charge of the military exercise e.g. Sergeant Major, must have good command and control over the soldiers in order for the soldiers...

...of Security" A little background on what it means to exercise command at sea: "Only a seaman realizes to what great extent an entire ship reflects the personality and ability of one individual, her Commanding Officer. To a landsman, this is not understandable, and sometimes it is even difficult for us to comprehend--but it is so! A ship is a different world in herself, and in consideration of the protracted and distant operations of the fleet units, the Navy must place great power, responsibility and trust in the hands of those leaders chosen for command. In each ship there is one man who, in the hour of emergency or peril at sea, can turn to no other man. There is one who alone is ultimately responsible for the safe navigation, engineering performance, accurate gunfiring, and morale of his ship. He is the Commanding Officer. He is the ship! This is the most difficult and demanding assignment in the Navy. There is not an instant during his tour as Commanding Officer that he can escape the grasp of command responsibility. This is a duty which most richly deserves the highest time-honored title of the seafaring world--'CAPTAIN.'" Captain Joseph Conrad Our Case Study: The weather would be turning bad overnight, but late on a sunny afternoon in gentle seas, the Commanding Officer (the CO) had a fresh cup of coffee in hand and enjoyed what little was left of the day in his designated chair on the bridge. It was an older ship, but she could still perform in an award-winning way...

...to work. For example, if you are bad at time management you could be late for shifts, or late in producing vital documents. If you are good with your time management you become a reliable and useful member of the team by regularly completing tasks within the given time. Also, during our drill weeks we showed time management by making sure we were in correct kit before the lesson if we had a previous lesson which potentially could make us late. Attitude- A positive for a having good attitude within the UPS is tasks are completed to your full ability and your team mates and commanding officeking officers will look at you and see you take pride with what you do and respect the role you have within the chosen Public Service. A negative of personal presentation is people may think you take the role too seriously and this could cause discrimination within the workplace. For example, if you are an officer patrolling the streets and your personal presentation is poor the public will not respect the authority you havnd respected member of the force making promotion a possibility. A negative for reliability is that people become too reliant upon you and could lead to issues around your private life. For example, if you begin to cover peoples shift due to their illness, during your time of leave or absence, people will start to ask if you are available to work when there are other people capable to cover them. Also during our drill week our reliability had to be good otherwise the...

...COMPSTAT: A HELP OR A HURT? Nekia Kelly CJMS600-9040 TurnItIn Score:1% October 2, 2012 INTRODUCTION CompStat, since 1994, has been used to assist in police performance and reduce acts of crime. It is used to collect, analyze and map crime data in order to hold commanding officers responsible for their districts performance. (Peak, 2008, p.75) However, we all know that numbers can be adjusted in one’s favor as to make it appear that all is well, but how is that going to deter the fact that actions speak for themselves. Are police commanders really using CompStat reports to assist with how they shall proceed on crime in their jurisdiction? Or is it being used to make it appear that performance levels are at good standing? Also in conjunction with these reports what are they doing or will do to correct the issues. We shall take a look at the pros and cons of CompStat over the years to see where it has been beneficial to our law enforcement, how it hasn’t helped and what could or should be done to fix it. SUMMARIES In the aspect of numbers being made to look like all is well; the NYPD has been under scrutiny for such and a survey conducted in September 2008 was used to determine just how bad it really was. The department not only reached out to current commanders but also retirees to get their perspective on how things worked under their command. When the results were collected, Paul J. Browne, the department’s chief spokesman at that time did everything to dispel...

...workstation, or laptop and filling in the required information about themselves through. This method is preferred over hand writing in the blanks. To enter this information you use a Windows based program called Pure Edge Viewer. This program acts similar to Adobe Acrobat and provides fillable blanks to your document. The information about the service member’s leave becomes now rewritable, transferable, and more secure then the packet of papers you would have written on. Once the DA 31 has all of the personal information needed to submit leave it then needs to be approved by the immediate Non-Commissioned Officer. Since the DA 31 was done electronically, it can be sent via email. It is an option to print it out but now less logical since the sensitive information can be accessed and digitally signed over the course of a minute regardless where the Non-Commissioned Officer might be. The security of the DA 31 through Pure Edge Viewer is strict with its access for modification. Once digitally signed it cannot be altered unless the originally signee removes their digital signature. To sign with a digital signature you have to use a Common Access Card, commonly known as a CAC card. Every service...

...PRACTICE & PROBLEMS OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT OF BANGLADESH ARMY INTRODUCTION 1. Human beings are the most important resources in an organization. A firm’s / organization’s success depends on the capabilities of its members. Most problems, challenges, opportunities and frustrations in an organization are people related. Human Resource Management is one of the toughest duties of a manager or leader since humans differ in terms of attitudes, values, aspirations, motivations, assumptions, psychology, and life goals. Looking at today’s competitive world, managerial level staff will require more conceptual and strategic skills. Managers have to be proactive, able to anticipate technological developments and prepare their staff for whatever technological changes that might take place. This will be a successful task only when the HRM itself is fully aware of those changes and has the means to deal with them. HR managers have a number of roles to fulfill. They are the guardians of the manpower- the key assets of the organizations. They are also counselor and protector of employees and directly responsible for their effectiveness in the organization. They need to do their jobs in keeping with the existing laws, rules and regulations of the organization, and promote harmony at the workplace. This has direct bearing in a healthier and more attractive work environment. The success or failure of HR depends also on the top management’s recognition of the importance of HRM, and...

...addresses the issue of Work-Life Balance, an area of special interest highlighted by the Navy Civil Engineer Corps’ Women Professional Network (WPN). Through several phone conferences with and input from Civil Engineer Corps (CEC) officers across the Navy and some initial website research, this paper defines work-life balance, assesses the relevance and importance to an officer in the CEC, and provides potential recommendations for consideration. What is Work-Life Balance? Work to live, don’t live to work. The first step is to define work-life balance and understand why it’s important. A good work-life balance means that you have control over your workplace conditions and that you are equally satisfied with your work life and with your home life. Work-life balance means that you have and understand the many benefits of having varied interests and ways to spend your time outside of work. It means you value having other things to focus on, and that you are consequently a happier and more fulfilled person. With this lifestyle comes a greater sense of inner security and confidence and these qualities tend to play out in the way you interact with people, the way you handle stress and problems, and in the way you are perceived as a military officer and leader. Philosophically, you, your home, the organization you work for, and society benefit when you have a balanced work-life. What makes a good work-life balance? This depends on your personal values, beliefs...

Officers were given commissions by the monarch. Like a commission given to an artist or architect to produce a new work, these commissions laid out the scope of their duties and their responsibilities in the specific office or position they were appointed to. And they served at the pleasure of the king (or queen), meaning they could be dismissed by the monarch at any time. These traditions applied throughout the Royal Navy, including in ships stationed in Britain’s North American colonies. During the War for Independence, the Continental Navy maintained these traditions. And after the U.S. achieved its independence from Britain, both the Revenue Marine (starting in 1790) and Navy (beginning in 1798) carried them forward.

...Intruding Ima and the Falsified Report An 8-year employee of your police agency, Officer Ima Goodenough, is a patrol officer who often serves as a field training officer. Goodenough is generally capable and experienced in both the patrol and detective divisions. She takes pride in being of the “old school” and has developed a clique of approximately 10 people with whom she gets along while mostly shunning other officers. As an officer of the old school, she typically handles calls for service without requesting cover units or backup. She has had six complaints of brutality lodged against her during the last 3 years. For Ima and her peers, officers who call for backup are “wimps.” She has recently been involved in two high-speed pursuits during which her vehicle was damaged when she attempted to run the offender off the road. Ima will notify a supervisor only when dealing with a major situation. She is borderline insubordinate when dealing with new supervisors. She believes that, generally speaking, the administration exists only to “screw around with us.” You, her shift commander, have been angry about her deteriorating attitude and reckless performance for some time and have been wondering whether you will soon have occasion to take some form of disciplinary action against her. You have also learned that Ima has a reputation among her supervisors as being a “hot dog.” Some of her past and present supervisors have even commented that she is a “walking time bomb”...
