U.S. Army paratroopers have a lot to think about after exiting the airplane, including how to protect the HMS Manpack radios inside their rucksacks when they hit the ground. That's not all - those rucksacks must provide easy access to these modernized radios, be configured to help balance equipment weight, dissipate heat, and be as comfortable as possible for Soldiers to conduct their missions. Following competitive market research under PdM HMS, a rucksack redesign by Soldier Systems Center Natick, and successful realistic combat testing by the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command's Yuma Test Center, the new and improved Radio Carrier Rucksack (RCR) will be fielded to units receiving Manpacks next year.

TC Tuesday (ATP 3-21.8 Infantry Platoon and Squad) "Characteristics of the Offense. The Infantry platoon and squad gains, maintains the initiative and keeps constant pressure on the enemy throughout its area of operation. Success in the offense greatly depends upon the proper application of the characteristics of the offense which are audacity, concentration, surprise, and tempo." I know, I know, this is LinkedIn not Army. Hear me out. Maintain the Initiative, (which is another post all together) by application of audacity, concentration, surprise and tempo To me, this is exactly what a good marketing campaign would look like. It requires the same things to be successful such as -Reconnaissance(analytics) -Well-regulated Teams (properly trained and equipped. Just in case you thought those words mean something else) -An articulated strategy, end state, and tactics to support both.

Cost schedule and performance needs to be reimagined!!! This Marine drove down cost, accelerated schedule, and enhanced performance! He was VERY appropriately awarded for his actions. THIS is how we should judge everyone in Budget, acquistion, program management etc. fields!
I had the honor last week of awarding Corporal Barbieri, Truck Company, Headquarters Battalion, 2d Marine Division the Meritorious Service Medal. No, this isn't a typo!! According to the Marine Corps' Awards Branch, our motivator is only the second Corporal (since at least 2008 when our awards system was integrated online), to receive this level award. Now many are probably wondering, what jaw-dropping achievement resulted in a Corporal receiving an MSM? Before I answer... here's where the story becomes even more interesting: Technically he was a Lance Corporal at the time of his achievements!! So the real question is how did a Lance Corporal become the first to receive an MSM? As captured in his summary of action and citation, Corporal Barbieri identified the a critical need to properly replace the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle's (JLTV) steering column in order to prevent future catastrophic failures that were likely to result in loss of life or equipment. Through his own initiative, he began working with Oshkosh Truck Corporation, the United States Army, and the Marine Corps Program Offices where he then identified numerous additional shortfalls and inconsistencies throughout the original fielded technical manual for the JLTV family of vehicles. Corporal Barbieri then stunned their engineers with his brilliance and change proposals for both fabrication of new vehicle components and for updating the electronic maintenance manuals that are now published and being fielded by the program office across all military branches of service. All in all, Marine Corps Systems Command has verified (using approved acquisition and cost saving tables) that Corporal Barbieri's redesigns have reduced massive amounts of maintenance downtime, improved operating costs, while also substantially improving the safety of both the maintenance and operation of the JLTV to the jaw-dropping amount of $140M saved across the Department of Defense and an estimated reduction of 900,000 maintenance hours annually. So please join me in congratulating Corporal Barbieri for his exceptional professionalism, personal initiative, and selfless dedication, and for becoming the Marine Corps' second Corporal to receive an MSM.

In the 1950s, the U.S. military tried to design combat vehicle seats based on the average dimensions of soldiers. They soon realized this approach was flawed because almost no one actually fit the "average" measurements. This led to the important realization that designing for the average often means designing for no one. " THIS FACT HIGHLIGHTS HOW STATISTICS CAN SOMETIMES LEAD TO UNEXPECTED OR IMPRACTICAL RESULTS WHEN MISAPPLIED " 1. Lt. Gilbert S. Daniels' Study: Conducted in the 1950s, measured various body dimensions of Air Force pilots. 2.Discovery: Found that none of the pilots had average dimensions across all measurements. 3.Impact: Highlighted the need for designing adjustable equipment to accommodate a wide range of body sizes. Here is the set of basic statistics questions suitable for brushing up on fundamental concepts. #statistics #ProblemSolving
