Record Test. USAOTC will conduct an operationally realistic test using a production Gray Eagle ER system with fully trained Soldiers in a representative OE. The test unit will be a CFP from the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR), Army Special Operations Aviation Command (ARSOAC), MQ-1C Gray Eagle Company.
(a) Gray Eagle Mission Context. The evaluation will assess the ability of the CFP to accomplish unit mission tasks, providing armed-ISR to supported units. The test team will leverage the NTC rotation and conduct the test in a realistic operational environment, using real-world scenarios. The NTC operational environment further enhances realism by the inclusion of live friendly and threat forces conducting combat operations,

The CFP will perform missions that support a tactical, operational or information requirement of a supported unit. Unit missions state the purpose, key tasks and required outcome necessary to satisfy the Commander’s requirement. To support a mission requirement, the CFP will allocate aircraft based on the missions’ duration and other operational factors. For test purposes, the test team has defined a “sortie” as a single flight of one aircraft, from the time of takeoff to the time of landing. Missions that are of extended duration may require multiple sorties that exceed the endurance/range of a single sortie. Conversely, a single sortie could support multiple, shorter duration missions by leveraging its’ extended on-station capability. During each sortie, the CFP will conduct multiple mission, crew and individual tasks throughout the assigned mission(s). The test team will collect data on each sortie and all missions the sortie(s) support during the …show more content…
The test team may require system employment outside of optimal conditions or in a manner not consistent with current tactics techniques and procedures (TTPs) or employment strategies in order to assess or characterize the full range of operations and capture required data. These deviations from operationally realistic system employment or conditions will be limited in order to minimize the negative training impacts on the CFP.
(g) The continuous on-station requirement requires flight schedules be built and coordinated in advance in order to achieve the proper aircraft flow and to meet local airspace planning and de-confliction requirements. The need to synchronize manned-platform escort (chase ship) into and out of the restricted airspace requires pre-planning of launch/recovery times for individual sorties. The majority of missions will occur as a re-tasking of an existing sortie in order to demonstrate the continuous on-station
Mission command is the commander's use of authority and direction to empower adaptive leaders in the conduct of unified land operations. It helps subordinates exercise disciplined initiative when operating within their commander’s intent. To facilitate effective mission command, commanders must accomplish four consecutive stages of the operations process. They must thoroughly understand the problem, visualize a solution that achieves a desired end state, and then accurately describe this visualization in order to direct the organization. Commanders continually lead and assess their organizations and provide input and influence to their subordinates and staff.
The proposed solutions will eliminate the problems and maintenance issues cause by the lack of military and civilian maintenance personnel. These proven solutions will help other units that deployed to facilitate phase maintenance with ease and aligns with the P4T3 process.
...vival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape (SERE) level C+, and helicopter overwater survival training (Dunker School) just to name a few of the school these soldiers will go through. They use special equipped helicopters that include AH-6, MH-6, MH-60’s, and MH-47 helicopters. Soldiers in this unit also have to maintain a SECERT security clearance.
The Mission of the Army Logistics Management College (ALMC), now referred to as the Army Logistics University (ALU) at Fort Lee, VA is to enhance the readiness and sustainability of United States Forces through training, education, consulting and research in Logistics, Acquisition and Operations Research Systems Analysis. In joint with the ALU, the Sustainment Center of Excellence (SCoE) runs eight different versions of battalion and brigade-level pre-command branch or technically focused courses. Five of them are conducted at ALU; one of those five course that ALU is responsible for offering is the resident 2-week Sustainment Pre-Command Course (SPCC). The SPCC was once taught at each individual Army branch school. In 1993, ALU was given the mission to train all multifunctional logisticians.
The reasoning used by the Supreme court judges are based by the Oakes test. The main and sufficient objective according to the Quebec Court of Appeal and the Commission scolaire was the school safety; however, the Supreme Court found that the limitation went beyond the initial and intended objective set out by the Supreme Court and the Commission scolaire (Canadian Human Rights Reporter, 203). Judges McLachlin, Bastarache, Binnie, Fish and Charron JJ. also said that prohibiting Gurbaj’s right to bear the kirpan has more deleterious effects than salutary because it infringes on his freedom of religion. In addition, factor such as school safety is already at risk since there are other objects in school that could be “used to commit violence acts

PRECISION ENGAGEMENT provides NORAD the capability to precisely engage threats throughout the full range of our surveillance coverage to ensure off-shore threat engagement well before air and space weapons threaten Canadian or American citizens. This requires agile platforms with lethal munitions to enage targets more responsively and accurately from longer distances and precise, immediate operational assessments with the agility to re-engage if required. The system will include a flexible, near real-time targeting architecture, including space-based wide area surveillance, rapid identification, tracking, and near real-time sensor to shooter links.
Sir, I am honored by the privilege to once again serve in 4th Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT). Over of the last 30 days, I had an opportunity to reconnect, and reflect on the current state of the Brigade. The 4th ABCT has a rich history of success and glory. It is my goal to put in place the systems and practices for this great organization to exceed all past and present accomplishments. As a result of my assessment, I identified three areas of focus that will improve our organization: a unit vision, a change in organizational culture and climate, and building organizational teams. I have no doubt that with the implementation of these three areas of focus, I will be the transformational leader that 4th ABCT needs as we prepare for the upcoming National Training Center (NTC) rotation and tackle the task of the Regionally Aligned Forces (RAF) mission.
To teach to the test or trust the child; is the question in today’s education. Over the past twenty years state curriculum standards have changed. Teachers need to make the choice on how to teach the children in their classroom. In today’s society where testing runs the educational world, a teacher must decide how to prepare students for standardized testing.

In 1968, the United States Army activated the 123rd Aviation Battalion, creating a remarkable unit that was comprised of several Army assets. The design of the battalion revolutionized how assets could be combined to complete many missions by mixing infantry, signal, aviation, and support units. The 123rd’s mission ranged from was to collect intelligence, deliver supplies, insert and extract infantrymen, and provide air support. In addition to their primary mission they also participated in medical evacuation, an invaluable asset on the battlefields of Vietnam.
(FOUO) The mission of the CRD is to plan, conduct, and provide CBRN reconnaissance and surveillance support for special operations forces in support of strategic, operational, and tactical objectives in all operational environments to support functional and geographic combatant commander intents and objectives.

As we transition from subjective training to objective, it is critical to understand the emphasis on training has not changed, just the language. Commander will continue to focus on battle focus training developed by long- range, short- range and near- term planning. The Sustainable Readiness Model (SRM) is the Army’s newest system for prioritizing resources for units on a 5-year cycle based on the level of readiness they must achieve. Each year of the cycle has established Personnel (P), Sustain (S) and Readiness (R) Aim Points on the Unit Status Report (USR). The SRM seeks to stabilize units in a “band of excellence,” even following their READY year, maintaining the highest readiness level instead of automatically downgrading their readiness to a C4 level regardless of whether they deployed. Guidelines in the Prepare Year (PY) found in the SRM will assist Commanders at every level on key training events they will need to focus on for that particular
With the Army gearing its forces towards an expeditionary force, it is important to remember what Technical Escort Units bring to the fight. They can operate in a small group with such expertise that they truly are a force multiplier. These units will continue to evolve and provide this nations Army with unmatched CBRN capabilities. They will continue to be the longest active surviving CBRN unit in the nation.
... problem are under constant development and analysis, in a hope to avoid these situations. The civilian industry continues to lead in development due to commercialization, with the military not far behind. The only real deficiency in CRM program development seems to be the area of general aviation as described earlier. Until this problem is addressed, there will still be a glaring weakness in the general area of aviation safety. However, with the rate of technology increase and cheaper methods of instruction, we should begin to see this problem addressed in the near future. Until then, aviation will rely on civil commercial aviation the military to continue research and program development for the years to come, hopefully resulting in an increasingly safe method of travel and recreation.
