This book was released on 2002-12-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increased operational tempo, workforce reductions, and demanding legislation are creating a challenging environment for enlisted personnel serving in the contingency contracting force. Each branch of the U.S. military has responded differently to these challenges. The United States Marine Corps is heavily dependent upon enlisted personnel who are assigned the 3044 Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) to perform contingency contracting. This thesis explores the current environment, within which these contingency contracting Marines operate, and analyzes the affect this environment is having on their career development. The study begins with an examination of the historical development of contingency contracting, and a reviews Government commissions that called for reform, which resulted in the establishment of the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA). The research then describes the requirements levied against contracting personnel under DAWIA and how they affect the enlisted military personnel. With this framework in place the study then evaluates the resulting approach to utilizing enlisted personnel for contingency contracting within the Military Services (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines). This evaluation focuses on the organizational structure, education opportunities, training, career development, and employment of enlisted personnel within each of these Military Services and how this understanding can improve the career development of 3044s.

Download or read book Marine Corps Contingency Contracting MCI written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contingency contracting is the process where vital supplies and services needed to maintain deployed forces are obtained on behalf of the United States Government. These actions are used for emergencies, such as, disaster relief from hurricanes or from terrorist activities that occur within the United States or for actions that occur outside of the United States in order to support the deployed units. Due to the current trend in the DoD to contract out more products and services on the battlefield, an increase demand has been placed on contingency contract personnel. The purpose of this MBA Project is to develop and publish a Contingency Contracting MCI to assist the Marine Corps in training its contract personnel in preparation for deployment to a contingency operation. Currently there is not a requirement for the contracting specialist to attend a formal school prior to supporting a contingency operation. Furthermore, there are limited spaces for Marines to attend CON 234. The Contingency Contracting MCI will aid the contracting personnel with the training needed to be successful in a contingency environment and efficiently and effectively support Marine Corps units abroad. This project was sponsored by Headquarters Marine Corps, Installation & Logistics, Logistics Branch in conjunction with the Marine Corps Institute (MCI). The MBA Report has identified several problems in the current ability of the Marine Corps to train contracting personnel in contingency contracting and provides recommendations for further study. A draft Contingency Contracting MCI is included in the report.

Corcoran and published by . This book was released on 2000-12-01 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Marine Corps contracting community continually refines its policies and procedures as a response to the changing environment it operates in. The objective of this thesis was to develop a permanent contracting command structure in order to maximize the training, education and potential of the military contracting officers. To accomplish this objective, this thesis identified the historical and statutory basis for government contracting, where billets for qualified Marine Corps military contracting officers exist and where they are currently non-existent yet in demand, and the roles and responsibilities of the Marine Corps military contracting officers. Based upon this archival research and interviews with members of the contracting community, this thesis developed a framework for a new permanent contracting command structure through the use of an integrated systems model. This model assists in creating more military contracting officer billets, standardizes the reporting and operational chains of command, promotes stability, growth and development, aids in boosting retention, and creates a path for career progression. This study is a proactive approach to the changing environment of contracting that will better prepare the contracting community to support the operational forces and lead the Marine Corps through the 21st century.

This book was released on 2003-03-01 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to identify and evaluate factors that affect career development of U.S. Marine Corps officers. The analysis includes evaluation of fitness reports, performance at The Basic School (TBS), retention, and promotion to 0-4 and 0-5 ranks. The primary goal is to explain the effect of officer commissioning programs on officers' careers. The personnel database used for the analysis includes more than 28,000 Marines who entered between FY 1980 and 1999. The performance models assume that commissioning programs that provide longer and more intensive pre-commissioning acculturation, or that credit enlisted service experience, will be associated with better performance Performance models are specified and estimated for TBS class rank, retention to 10 years of service, promotion to 0-4 and 0-5, and for a Performance Index (PI) derived from fitness report marks.

This book was released on 2020-02-23 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This U.S. Marine Corps manual, Marine Corps Tactical Publication MCTP 3-30G Marine Corps Manpower and Personnel Administration 24 January 2020 provides commanders and Marines assigned military occupational specialties in the 01occupational field with the doctrinal mission, principles, concepts, components, organization, functions, roles, and responsibilities for the execution of Marine Corps personnel administration. It is the authoritative basis for the subsequent development of administrative policy, education, training, systems, and procedures. It is not directive in nature, but provides a framework for personnel administration. Marine Corps Tactical Publication 3-30G addresses the interrelationships of administrative organizations within Headquarters, United States Marine Corps, the operating forces, and the supporting establishment and promotes a common understanding of personnel administration support fundamentals. The publication is intended for commanders and their staffs, individuals, and administrators who conduct and manage Marine Corps administrative practices and procedures as it applies to individual Marines, their family members, the civilian workforce, and Marine Corps organizations. People are the Marine Corps' greatest asset. Personnel administration's focus on the individual Marine and Sailor, the civilian workforce, and their families ensures units are trained and ready to serve and fight at a moment's notice. Marine Corps personnel administration supports and sustains all contributors to mission accomplishment. Personnel administration assists in transforming individuals into units through accurate and timely recordkeeping and thorough analysis of personnel gaps. Personnel administration is the planning, directing, and documenting of matters pertaining to individual Marines, Sailors, and their family members not covered by other functions. Other functions include operations, logistics, medical and dental, or intelligence. Personnel administration includes the maintenance of command-related documentation pertinent to unit and family readiness as well as quality of life (QOL) concerns. Personnel are the primary element of command and control and form the foundation that enables commanders to train and lead qualified Marine Corps units to carry out their missions. Personnel administration spans all levels of warfare: from strategic manpower plans and policies that shape the future force to meet the operational and support establishment's manpower requirements, to tactical execution that addresses the necessities of each individual supporting the force. Administration applies known policies and conducts process management techniques to streamline procedures. It applies measurable actions regarding efficiency, resources, and strength. Administration also requires an intuitive ability to grasp unique tactical, operational, or strategic situations and a creative ability to devise qualitative sustainment through planning, policy, and execution.

Download or read book Challenging Time in DOPMA written by Peter Schirmer and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2006 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Many of the laws and policies that govern officer career management (often collectively referred to as "DOPMA," after the Defense Officer Personnel Management Act of 1980) have been in place for decades. DOPMA has served the needs of the services reasonably well, but the current system may not meet the requirements of the future operating environment. One criticism of DOPMA is that it does not allow for much variety in officers' career paths because it is time-driven. Alternatively, officers' competencies are now emerging as the basis for career management. In this monograph, the authors demonstrate how a competency-based officer personnel management system could provide more flexibility in preparing military officers for the wide range of roles and missions of the U.S. military in the 21st century. This analysis focuses on practices governing promotions for military officers and closely related assignment and retirement policies."--Rand web site
Download or read book Marine Leadership of Civilian Personnel written by Macon R. Robinson and published by . This book was released on 1997-12-01 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Marine Corps currently has 18 regional contracting offices located throughout the continental U.S. and one office in Okinawa, Japan. Ten out of the 18 regional contracting offices are headed by military contracting officers. The majority of the personnel that make up the workforce in these offices are civilians. The military side of the workforce continues to get smaller not only because of downsizing but in part as a result of the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA). DAWIA requires the Department of Defense to increase the ratio of civilian personnel to military personnel in the acquisition workforce each year, a move toward civilianization of this profession. As more and more civilians take over acquisition and contracting positions the real challenge will be for those military officers that must head these newly formed organizations which rely heavily on civilian workforce. The major challenge that any military officer will be facing in this environment is how to manage civilians effectively. This thesis identifies the issues associated with the management of civilian purchasing and contracting (P&C) personnel in a USMC regional contracting Office. A survey and interviews of USMC military contracting officers and civilian P&C personnel were conducted by the researcher and the results were used to develop conclusions and recommendations to enhance the management skills of Marine Corps Officers.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to document United States Marine Corps contracting and procurement activities during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. This was accomplished by examining who was there, how they were organized, and in what type of actions the contracting and procurement professionals were involved. The researcher evaluated these areas to determine not only what improvements can be made, but also what should not be changed. The results of this study indicates that the Marine Corps needs to examine the following areas: the current organization of Marine Corps contracting, hardware and software requirements of contingency contractors, legal officer requirements, and the training and education needs of the contracting workforce. This study also recommends changes to the structure and organization of current contracting units, the standardizing of software used by the various contingency contracting organizations, the identification qualified legal officers to be deployed for contingencies, training for both contractors and senior commanders and the use of the lesson learned system to document contracting operations.

Download or read book The Marine Corps Enlisted Assignment Process written by Mark Ramirez and published by . This book was released on 2003-03-01 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The assignment process affects Marines within the operating forces several times during their careers, and at times, it affects their decisions to continue service in the Marine Corps or to leave. Additionally, this process affects career development, quality of life, and ultimately their lives. The assignment process is a sub-process within the Marine Corps Human Resources Development Process, which is studied to determine its perceived functionality and effectiveness from Marines within the Marine Corps operating forces. Are Marines in the operational forces satisfied with the current process? If they are content with the current process, then the Marine Corps may not have to change the current process. The cost of making changes, i.e., implementing a web-based intelligent agent assignment system within the assignment process, may not meet the Marine Corps' return on investment. This point is supported by the observation that most monitors are satisfied with the current process, and that the Marine Corps has been achieving its retention goals. If not, the Marine Corps may increase quality of life by introducing new assignment processes or systems. These changes could also increase enlisted Marines' retention rate, and ultimately personnel readiness.
