Recommended: Aspects of the supply chain management

I served as the Company Supply Officer for Bravo Company 3-1 AHB, 1 CAB from September 2011 through September 2014. During this timeframe I spent countless hours and many hundreds of thousands of dollars maintaining the company supplies for daily operations. While in this position I noticed many issues that caused wasted time and energy for personnel as well as wasted money being spent needlessly. Observation 1: Improper training and manning of the Company Supply Position. Discussion 1: In an aviation company a Warrant Officer has many other duties along with being a pilot. As a company supply officer it is expected of the Officer to know and become familiar with a subject matter that has its own MOS. A soldier spends months of time in …show more content…

I noticed that when it came to ordering many items ranging from maintenance supplies to office supplies the prices listed in FEDLOG and in GSA were often not comparable to the price of the same item listed at The Home Depot™ or Office Max ™. The proprietary supplier for the Army was generally charging an astronomical price often 5 to 10 times the amount. A can of spray paint at the hardware store cost as little as $1.75. The same or a similar brand of the same color spray paint cost $8.00 or more when ordered through GSA or other Army means. Recommendation 2: I recommend that units be allowed to make local purchases with their Government Purchase Cards allowing the supply personnel to make more efficient use of the limited funds they are allotted. Summary: The Army is cutting costs wherever it can and I believe the logistics area has many improvements that can be made that would save millions of dollars Army wide. Implementing the proper personnel and loosening the restrictions on where items can be purchased will enable soldiers and Supply Officers to effectively and efficiently maintain their company operational status while minimizing cost and waste.

I’ve worked as a Police Officer for the past two years and every shift I am required to have a high level of attention to detail. Attention to detail is necessary daily to make decisions when working in the field. As a police officer attention to detail is necessary anywhere from the most routine traffic stop to worst domestic. Without attention to detail you are unable to make accurate decisions and unable to justify what you have done e.g. writing a speeding ticket, writing someone for disorderly conduct, or arresting someone for domestic abuse.

Importance of Warrant Officer Professional Military Education The Army is ever changing and constantly restructuring to evolve into a more agile, more productive, and ultimately more powerful and dominant force. The Warrant Officer Corps is also continuously adapting in order to keep up with the complex environment in an attempt to stay relevant and meaningful. This evolution has found the role of the warrant officer (WO) shifting to one that looks at them more as leaders and commanders, as opposed to the “one trick pony” exclusive subject matter experts (SME). With this redefining role, responsibilities are becoming greater while promotions are becoming more competitive.
