Methodology Notebook for Action Officers. Part II. 'Vision to Victory.'

Abstract

The purpose of this notebook is to complement Part I of the USACDC Methodology Notebook for Action Officers. The notebook is intended to convey a brief but comprehensive portrayal of how operations research is employed in the USACDC Combat Support Group to arrive at scientific solutions to Combat Support problems. It is not intended that it be a panacea for all problems, nor that it be used as a Standing Operating Procedure. Rather, it presents the policies, suggested methods of operation, organizational details, and tasks that are available to CSG action officers while it highlights the ways and means for these assets to be used in a scientific manner. Research within CSG is applied -- not pure -- research. As such, it must be conducted with a view toward the scientific determination or identification of tangible end products -- products that will be of scientifically proven benefit to the Army of the future. The material presented in this notebook is designed to provide USACDCCSG and assigned agency action officers with the basic fundamentals needed to perform CSG applied research.
