...1. OVERVIEW Health Service Support (HSS) of today's Marine Corps Operational Forces emphasizes the provision of far-forward, mobile, medical support in the stabilization and evacuation of casualties. The Aid Station is the HSS unit that will deliver these services to our Marine Corps Forces (MARFOR) in sustaining the combat power of the force. Throughout this lesson, the term Battalion Aid Station (BAS) is used to describe various Aid Stations. A true BAS is a term used to describe an Infantry Battalion Aid Station. Know that there are many different Aid Stations, i.e. BAS, Group Aid Station (GAS), Regimental Aid Station (RAS), etc., each with different numbers of personnel assigned. 2. MISSION OF THE AID STATION The Aid Station has a dual mission, one that will be fulfilled while in a field/combat environment, and the other fulfilled while in garrison. The mission of the aid station is to be the primary HSS source for a unit. While in a field/combat environment, the mission of the Aid Station is to minimize the effect wounds, injuries, and diseases have on a unit’s effectiveness, readiness and morale. Treatments such as surgical airways, administration of IV fluids and antibiotics, as well as stabilization of wounds and fractures are common. The mission of the Aid Station while in garrison is to keep the Marines assigned ready for deployment. As such, responsibilities include conducting sick-call, providing medical support during training, and undergoing...

...largest island Betio. The seventy-six hour battle for Betio was the first amphibious operation against a well-fortified and defended atoll. The human loss of lives for Tarawa was shocking to the American public. The American public was not prepared for the cost involved in pressing an amphibious assault against a strongly held enemy island. The amphibious assault on the Tarawa Atoll at Betio taught the navy and the marines some vital lessons in amphibious warfare that would save thousands of lives in future campaigns. Tarawa Atoll: Lessons from Betio The United States began its Central Pacific campaign in November 1943 and named the first campaign Operation Galvanic. Operation Galvanic was the United States attack on Tarawa Atoll, which focused on the largest island of Betio. The seventy-six hour battle for Betio was the first amphibious operation against a well-fortified and defended atoll. Prior to Betio, navy, and marine amphibious operations were untested in atoll assaults. The amphibious assault on the Tarawa Atoll at Betio taught the navy and the marines some vital lessons in amphibious warfare that would save thousands of lives in future campaigns. Setting the Stage The Japanese conquered the Tarawa atoll; part of the Gilbert Islands, shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor and immediately started to construct an airfield on its largest island Betio. Additionally, they established formable defensives on and around the island of Betio. The Japanese enhanced the...

...What is Joint Interdependence Anyway? Colonel Christopher R. Paparone, U.S. Army, and James A. Crupi, Ph.D. HERE IS MUCH ADO lately about the concept of “joint interdependence” in future military operations. More than one four-star general has praised Operation Desert Storm’s joint deconfliction; that is, the conduct of relatively independent service operations orchestrated in space and time so as not to interfere with each other, as in air operations deconflicted with ground operations. In Operation Iraqi Freedom, U.S. forces achieved more joint interoperability with a variety of forces working together to a greater degree because processes were clear, such as using U.S. Air Force close air support in lieu of U.S. Army artillery. But, generals say the future of jointness is interdependence, with no service operating independently and all relying on each other’s capabilities to be successful. We are not completely satisfied with this vision of future joint interdependence. We are concerned that military leaders might inadvertently miss the leadership and organizational implications associated with interdependence. Instead of the discussion oriented on deconfliction, interoperability, and interdependence, we propose a more meaningful way to talk about the continuum of interdependence. We believe there are varying degrees of interdependence, each of which affects differently how the military organizes, leads, and achieves. The concept of interdependence might be best understood...

...FREDERICK W. SMITH August 11, 1944 marks a special day in history, not because a local, tiny hospital recorded another birth at their facility, or that the humble little town in Marks, Mississippi added another “member” to their thriving population of about 1,500; it marks a day when a little boy, born of modest means, would grow and learn how to make an honest dollar and eventually lead the corporate world, through savvy business relationships and exemplary leadership practices, to a place never before thought possible, the place of overnight logistics with next-day, on-time delivery. Frederick Wallace Smith, the son of a successful businessman, grew up in a tiny town in rural Mississippi. His father, James Frederick Smith, owned a chain of restaurants known as Toddle House; he also owned Smith Motor coach Company (renamed the Dixie Greyhound Lines after the Greyhound corporation bought a controlling interest in 1931). Fred Smith’s father died, however, when the boy was only 4 years old, leaving him to be raised by his mother and uncles. –Kouzes and Pousner (Kouzes, 2003) Now, some may say that the longstanding legacy of hard work, honest business practices and sound leadership ethics died with the passing of Smith’s father; I, however, beg to differ. I believe that the young Fred Smith, despite his early age, saw a man of character and a leader in his father who, in his time, helped shaped the face of fine dining and cross-country travel the way we’ve come...

...The F35 joint strike fighter program, formerly the Joint Advanced Strike Technology (JAST) Program, began in the early 1980s and 1990s along with several other multi role stealth fighters but is the only one since that the department of defense has finalized and put into production. The combined efforts from previous models and several fighters have made the F35 the outmost advanced and deadly fighter to this day. The F35 is known as a fifth generation fighter because of its combined engineering efforts and advancements of fighter aircrafts over the past fifty years. The key to air superiority is obviously having the best aviation technology which is why the AIR Force, Navy, and Marines have all participated in the F35 program as well as an International community from the UK, Italy, Norway, Netherlands, Turkey, Canada, Australia, and Denmark. The primary contractor for the F35 program is Lockheed Martin, while Northrup Grumman and BAE systems have also been major contributors to the technology and advancement of the program. As it reads on the JSF website “The focus of the program is affordability -- reducing the development cost, production cost, and cost of ownership of the JSF family of aircraft.” This statement along with defining the F35 program as a system and as a whole will be the main topic of this research paper. A system is defined as a group of elements, components and attributes working together to perform some kind of function. The JSF program as a system has...

...Case Analysis: QUIET LOGISTICS 1. Situation J-trading (USA) Corporation started its business from Los Angeles, USA in 2000. It is a flagship company of JICO. It started exporting computer products to Australia, and marine goods to Japan. The company is a leading importer, exporter and distributor company. 2. Questions • Problems J-trading identified problems with PC helpdesk service quality and thinking of outsourcing its PC helpdesk. CMPI and Outsourcing Solutions are two vendors for the outsourcing. J-trading chose CMPI for outsourcing its Helpdesk and accordingly did the outsourcing. Now the big question is should the PC helpdesk be back in house again? Or, Renegotiate and amend the contract for better services? • Decisions CMPI was providing 20 companies PC helpdesk services in New York City. It provides low cost services and also customers provided a good image about the company. So J-trading chose CMPI as the right company for outsourcing its PC Helpdesk services. J-trading is the biggest customer of CMPI so far. • Evaluations: CMPI did not care about J-trading employees properly. They had ‘no care’ Attitude. It seems that CMPI did not have right problem skills. They fixed problems on short term basis without looking into the root cause of the problems. So problems were not solving actually. CMPI did not have understanding for Japanese protocol of behavior. 3. Hypothesis (What to do) • Problems J-TRADING’s revenues was severely affected by dot com crash...
