Great to be at APG today and tomorrow to learn more how NOVA Power Solutions can work with the Army and Industry to better define and solve complex power requirements.

The OSD #STED (Sustainable Technology Evaluation and Demonstration) Program is key to evaluating emerging products that are sustainable and healthier for our warfighters.

It’s been another big week for ACC-APG, working to support PEO IEW&S in awarding the Mounted Assured PNT Systems (MAPS) Generation (GEN) II Delivery Order 4 (DO4)! Our contracting officers successfully negotiated profit and unit costs, which allowed for the purchase of additional systems, and resulted in an award savings of $7.5M. This award supports US Army units and United States Marine Corps System Command (MARCORSYSCOM) with Modernized PNT and M-Code capabilities. #ArmyContracting #PMPNT #PositioningNavigationTiming

Enhancing the Army G4's "Hip Pocket Guides" could significantly improve their utility. Currently, their design—with excessive color use and poor contrast—limits effectiveness. Adopting Edward Tufte's data-ink ratio principle could streamline information delivery. This ratio, focusing on essential data over decorative elements, not only clarifies content but also facilitates quicker comprehension and reduced toner impact if printed, thus supporting demand reduction by minimizing unnecessary cognitive load, and decreased printer toner. By optimizing the use of visual elements, we can make these guides truly valuable and user-friendly. For an in-depth understanding of the data-ink ratio, a valuable resource is available here: https://lnkd.in/e_ZYfu7b This approach offers a pathway to enhance informational clarity and operational efficiency.

Step by step we serve the warfighter.

Today marks the end of an era as one of the Army's valuable resources officially ended its 73-year run. For the past 24 years I have enjoyed the moments spent with this army comic magazine like many other generations of Soldiers. It wasn’t just entertainment; it was a crucial source of maintenance and readiness insights, often surpassing the technical manual in educating soldiers. Despite its significance, the magazine has ended it run due to the costs of printing and shipping in today's digital age. While this decision may look good from a budget perspective, it raises concerns about the potential impact on readiness. This little line item on a budget surely surpassed most military publications return on investment. Let's hope that the void left by this magazine will not compromise the readiness of the troops and their equipment moving forward. #USArmy #Readiness #Maintenance #PSThePreventiveMaintenanceMagazine

Army’s new vice chief seeks to drive strategic modernization in our Army...all of it. The stark difference between conventional and special operations (SpecOps) forces when it comes to modernization is deep and wide. It's been that way for decades. Procurement rules are different and when it comes to the "toys" the SpecOps community has...the gap is even wider. That said, I do think there is a healthy compromise...SpecOps has a very different mission and having access to "special equipment" is understandable. When it comes to the conventional aide...you live with what you've got...whether it works or not...and drive on. Bubble gum, baling wire and duct tape are standard issue and your friend!! For the sake of our total force, GEN Mingus, dig in and make the tough decisions and fix it. The fact that you have seen both sides is invaluable. #army #beallyoucanbe #armyveteran #VETLANTA #Veterans #veteran #veteranshelpingveterans #veteranstrong
