This week, I’m in a course officially titled “Action Office Force Integration”, unofficially it’s called “How the Army Runs”. This picture shows the Army Force Management Model, basically an overview of everything we’re discussing this week.
How the Army Runs
I had been previously told by several sources that this is a great course with too much information for a 1-week course. I’m not sure why, but I got my expectations up. As with many things in life (and the Army), my hopes have been dashed.
I agree that much of the information presented here is very pertinent to my current job. However, eight hours of Powerpoint presentations in a day may not be the best way to present this information! The Major sitting next to me rested his eyes on several occasions the first three days. This makes my job at the Pentagon seem much more exciting! It’s all about perspective.
