This book was released on 2009-03-31 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Center of Military History (CMH), Records Management and Declassification Agency (RMDA), and Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL) are all repositories for a unit's operational records and data. They have jointly prepared this handbook to provide the commander clear guidance pertaining to the preservation and disposition of his unit's important operational records and data. Your role as the commander of your unit is simple to comprehend but difficult to achieve. Primarily, it is a matter of your personal interest. The commander's priorities become the unit's priorities, and the unit does only those things the commander inspects and believes are important. If you insist that the records and operational data sources are maintained, preserved, and retired appropriately, they probably will be. Have you set up a staff standing operating procedure to make sure that happens? Is there one person on your staff whose additional, specified duty is to ensure that the records are kept and retired? If so, you are halfway there. This is not just a "make-work" administrative chore; it is essential to the long-term preservation of your unit's history, part of your responsibility to take care of your Soldiers, and required by law and regulation. After establishing the need to keep operational records, you must set the procedures in place to do it regularly (and inspect to ensure it is done regularly). This handbook is designed to give you some handy checklists of exactly what types of records CMH, RMDA, and CALL need; how to preserve your records for yourself and for these collectors; and what to expect when these collectors show up at your tactical operations center. In short, the purpose of this publication is to assist you in understanding the importance of your operational data and records; the critical need to preserve these records to protect your Soldiers, improve doctrine, and capture your unit history for all time; and your role in making this happen.

Download or read book Commander s Handbook for Assessment Planning and Execution written by Joint Staff and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-10-16 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides an understanding of the processes and procedures being employed by joint force commanders and their staffs to plan and execute assessment activities. It provides fundamental principles, techniques, and considerations related to assessment that are being employed in the field and are evolving toward incorporation in joint doctrine. Furthermore, this handbook supplements doctrinal publications by providing detailed guidance to conduct effects assessment, task assessment, and deficiency analysis. Commanders, assisted by their staffs and subordinate commanders, along with interagency and multinational partners and other stakeholders, will continuously assess the operational environment and the progress of the operation toward the desired end state in the time frame desired. Based on their assessment, commanders direct adjustments, thus ensuring the operation remains focused on accomplishing the mission. Assessment is applicable across the range of military operations. It offers perspective and insight, and provides the opportunity for self-correction, adaptation, and thoughtful results-oriented learning. Assessment is a key component of the commander's decision cycle, helping to determine the results of tactical actions in the context of overall mission objectives and providing potential recommendations for the refinement of future plans. Assessments provide the commander with the current state of the operational environment, the progress of the campaign or operation, and recommendations to account for discrepancies between the actual and predicted progress. Commanders then compare the assessment against their vision and intent and adjust operations to ensure objectives are met and the military end state is achieved. First, assessment must determine "where we are." The assessment process must examine the data received and determine, in relation to the desired effects, the current status of the operation and the operational environment. This is the most basic and fundamental question that assessment must answer. The second fundamental issue that assessment must address is "so what and why" (i.e., what does the data mean and what is its significance)? To answer this question, the assessment team will examine the measure of effectiveness indicators, both individually and in relation to each other. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, assessment must begin to address the "what's next?" Assessment must combine the analysis of the "where we are" and the "so what" and develop thoughtful, logical guidance for the command's planning efforts. Assessments are interrelated and interdependent. Although each level of assessment may have a specific focus and a unique battle rhythm, together they form a hierarchical structure in which the conduct of one level of assessment is crucial to the success of the next. Theater strategic and operational-level assessment efforts concentrate on broader tasks, effects, objectives, and progress toward the end state, while tactical-level assessment primarily focuses on task accomplishment. This handbook provides users with a pre-doctrinal reference describing how to conduct assessment execution and planning. Its primary purpose is to improve the US military's assessment process through educating the user on basics, best practices, and processes. This handbook was developed based on observations at combatant commands as well as joint task force staffs. It was developed in close coordination with, and used significant input from, both civilian and military subject matter experts. Assessment is a collaborative effort between the joint force, interagency and multinational partners, and other stakeholders. As such, this handbook addresses the necessity for an inclusive assessment process and effort at every level. It also presents some assessment resources developed by other stakeholders and currently in use throughout the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Command Supply Discipline Program (CSDP) is a commander's program. This handbook addresses the CSDP every unit must establish and enforce. Leaders must enforce and implement effective programs to ensure resources are being used without fraud, waste, and abuse. This handbook is designed to provide the necessary tools for commanders to successfully address the relationship of good logistical processes and operations achievements which are reached by stressing good supply discipline. Key Lessons: * Understanding why CSDP is important. * Implementing CSDP in the unit-step-by-step. * Understanding the types of property and establishing accountability for all property. * Documenting the circumstances concerning the loss, damage, or destruction of government property through the financial liability investigations of property loss. * Understanding maintenance and supply readiness and how it determines the unit's ability to perform the assigned mission. The Army has been conducting wartime operations for the last eight years. All resources, whether property, people, or time have become increasingly limited. It is imperative that commanders establish and maintain a CSDP requiring units to be good stewards of the resources provided to them. Executing an effective CSDP will help commanders comply with the Department of the Army's goal to keep safe and preserve Army equipment and resources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Dying to Learn, Michael Hunzeker develops a novel theory to explain how wartime militaries learn. He focuses on the Western Front, which witnessed three great-power armies struggle to cope with deadlock throughout the First World War, as the British, French, and German armies all pursued the same solutions-assault tactics, combined arms, and elastic defense in depth. By the end of the war, only the German army managed to develop and implement a set of revolutionary offensive, defensive, and combined arms doctrines that in hindsight represented the best way to fight. Hunzeker identifies three organizational variables that determine how fighting militaries generate new ideas, distinguish good ones from bad ones, and implement the best of them across the entire organization. These factors are: the degree to which leadership delegates authority on the battlefield; how effectively the organization retains control over soldier and officer training; and whether or not the military possesses an independent doctrinal assessment mechanism. Through careful study of the British, French, and German experiences in the First World War, Dying to Learn provides a model that shows how a resolute focus on analysis, command, and training can help prepare modern militaries for adapting amidst high-intensity warfare in an age of revolutionary technological change.

This book was released on 2017-07-27 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Military History Operations," (ATP 1-20 / FM 1-20) is applicable to all Army military history offices, military history units, and military history operations of major tactical and support commands generally at corps level and below. FM 1-20 provides basic doctrine describing the roles, relationships, organizations, and responsibilities of Army component command historians, historians, unit historical officers, and military history detachment (MHD) members in the United States Army. It describes, but does not extensively cover, historians and historical offices of units at echelons above corps and at the joint level. It is designed to provide historians, unit historical officers, commanders, and staffs the methods to preserve and document the history of the U.S. Army. It explains how the Army conducts military history operations during wartime, for both deployed forces in the combat theater and those units supporting the operation. The Army has responded to numerous contingencies or military operations other than war in recent years, and this FM provides doctrine on conducting military history operations during such contingencies. It also provides commanders doctrinal guidance on the employment of organic military history assets as well as separate military history units.
