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
The TC 3.04.7 (Army Aviation Maintenance) outlines the P4T3 process and it can be integrated into a battalion maintenance program. Conducting a P4T3 analysis in a garrison environment will ensure the proper plan; equipment and people are in place to successfully complete the unit’s mission while deployed.
...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
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.
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.

(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.

The Technical Escort Unit (TEU) now provides the Department of Defense and other federal agencies to include the Secret Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation with an immediate response capability for chemical and biological warfare material. Its mission is to provide a global response for escorting, packaging, detection, rendering-safe, disposing, sampling, analytics, and remediation missions. This does not only include chemical weapons for which it was originally created, but now incorporates biological weapons, state sponsored laboratories, small independent laboratories and small non-weaponized radioactive materials. Most recently, they have been task organized to assist Brigade Combat Teams (BCT) as a force multiplier; the objective of this is to give the Battle Field Commander instant on the ground intelligence regarding Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) hazards within their Area of Operations (AO). With this new mission with the BCT, the TEU is becoming an expeditionary force.
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.
Readiness is of the utmost importance with training being the most significant aspect that contributes to Readiness. Each Soldier needs an individual training plan. The plan should take the Soldier from enlistment to discharge or retirement. It is each Soldiers responsibility to be proficient in their field craft. This includes being fit mentally and physically, and trained to win in a complex world. It is the responsibility of the NCO to train these Soldiers. Unit training plans will address the readiness and resilience of individual Soldiers to ensure their fitness to accomplish their mission. Units must conduct realistic training at the individual, squad, platoon and company levels focused on Mission Essential Tasks (METs) for their
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.

... 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.
