This book was released on 2016-12-08 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Training Manual TM 3-34.56 MCIP 4-11.01 Waste Management for Deployed Forces July 2013 Waste Management for Deployed Forces provides guidance on conducting waste management operations while deployed and focuses on brigade level and below. It provides a better understanding of the waste streams generated during operations and provides guidance on minimizing the harmful effects of waste on human health, the environment, and the mission. It describes the planning necessary to estimate generated waste, based on unit functions and activities and provides guidance on generating and implementing waste management solutions to fulfill immediate and long-term waste requirements. While aimed at engineers, logisticians, transporters, environmental officers, preventive medicine (PVNTMED) personnel, and others who are primarily involved in waste management, it will enlighten commanders and staffs regarding the need to consider the waste generated during each phase of the operation and the importance of incorporating waste management during planning. This manual is a compilation of techniques and procedures found in doctrine, lessons learned, and other reference material; it also serves as a "how to" guide for performing waste management at the tactical level. Because each situation will be uniquely different, based on operational and mission variables, this manual relies on the reader's ability to apply experience, common sense, and good judgment in generating options and implementing solutions that will reduce the harmful effects of waste on human health and the environment to the fullest extent possible. This manual is best used in combination with the subject matter expertise that resides within, or is available through, higher headquarters, supporting units, or reachback.

Download or read book A National Strategy to Reduce Food Waste at the Consumer Level written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-10-14 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately 30 percent of the edible food produced in the United States is wasted and a significant portion of this waste occurs at the consumer level. Despite food's essential role as a source of nutrients and energy and its emotional and cultural importance, U.S. consumers waste an estimated average of 1 pound of food per person per day at home and in places where they buy and consume food away from home. Many factors contribute to this wasteâ€"consumers behaviors are shaped not only by individual and interpersonal factors but also by influences within the food system, such as policies, food marketing and the media. Some food waste is unavoidable, and there is substantial variation in how food waste and its impacts are defined and measured. But there is no doubt that the consequences of food waste are severe: the wasting of food is costly to consumers, depletes natural resources, and degrades the environment. In addition, at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic has severely strained the U.S. economy and sharply increased food insecurity, it is predicted that food waste will worsen in the short term because of both supply chain disruptions and the closures of food businesses that affect the way people eat and the types of food they can afford. A National Strategy to Reduce Food Waste at the Consumer Level identifies strategies for changing consumer behavior, considering interactions and feedbacks within the food system. It explores the reasons food is wasted in the United States, including the characteristics of the complex systems through which food is produced, marketed, and sold, as well as the many other interconnected influences on consumers' conscious and unconscious choices about purchasing, preparing, consuming, storing, and discarding food. This report presents a strategy for addressing the challenge of reducing food waste at the consumer level from a holistic, systems perspective.

This publication includes a compilation of techniques and procedures found in doctrine, lessons learned, and other reference material; it serves as a "how to" guide for managing waste that is generated at the tactical level. Because each situation will be uniquely different, based on operational and mission variables, this guide relies on the reader's ability to apply experience, common sense, and sound judgment while generating options and implementing solutions that will reduce the harmful effects of waste on human health and the environment to the fullest extent practicable.

Trainers and educators throughout the Army and Marine Corps will also use this manual.
Download or read book The U S Army Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Field Manual written by David H. Petraeus and published by Silver Rock Publishing. This book was released on 2015-12-31 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This field manual establishes doctrine for military operations in a counterinsurgency (COIN) environment. It is based on lessons learned from previous counterinsurgencies and contemporary operations. It is also based on existing interim doctrine and doctrine recently developed. Counterinsurgency operations generally have been neglected in broader American military doctrine and national security policies since the end of the Vietnam War over 40 years ago. This manual is designed to reverse that trend. It is also designed to merge traditional approaches to COIN with the realities of a new international arena shaped by technological advances, globalization, and the spread of extremist ideologies--some of them claiming the authority of a religious faith. This is a comprehensive manual that details every aspect of a successful COIN operation from intelligence to leadership to diplomacy. It also includes several useful appendices that provide important supplementary material.
Download or read book Earthquake Preparedness and Disaster Relief in Nepal written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nepal is in one of the most active earthquake regions in the world. Nepal's current non-earthquake-resistant infrastructure, lack of sufficient modern communication networks, and limited facilities and manpower in the medical sector are the major threats to life and property during a major earthquake. On March 31, 2010, under the auspices of three leading Nepali diaspora professional organizations in the United States of America--American Society of Nepalese Engineers (ASNEngr), America Nepal Medical Foundation (ANMF), and Computer Association of Nepal-USA (CAN-USA)--a joint initiative on Earthquake Preparedness and Disaster Relief in Nepal, of which this position/concept paper is a product, was launched to help understand the current status of earthquake preparedness in Nepal. This position paper describes the challenges that Nepal will face if and when another large-magnitude earthquake strikes like the devastating January 16, 1934 Nepal-Bihar earthquake. The paper also provides a list of recommendations to be considered to minimize the loss of life and property, especially in the densely populated Kathmandu valley. The document is peer-reviewed by a group of individuals having expertise in the related areas.
