  • Pentagon Salutes Revised Food Courts Options Range from Quick Bites to Sit-Down Dining by BARRY LOBERFELD ASSISTANT EDITOR
    FACILITY PROFILE Pentagon Salutes Revised Food Courts Options Range From Quick Bites to Sit-Down Dining BY BARRY LOBERFELD ASSISTANT EDITOR aving completed the last in a seven-year three-stage renova- tion of Pentagon foodservice, the iconic Department of Defense H(DoD) building’s cuisine spans the spectrum from fast food to fi ne dining. Three main food courts comprise the lion’s share of Pentagon food service. Two of the food courts, each offering seating for approximately 250, feature a mélange of branded and non-branded concepts, includ- ing Peruvian Chicken, Taco Bell, McDonald’s, Dunkin’ Donuts, Sbarro and Panda Express, plus clerk-served salad bars and fresh sandwich and Panini stations. The largest food court, the Concourse Food Court, is also the one opened most recently, in September. It is an 875-seat space that houses a Burger King, Subway, Popeyes, Starbucks, RollerZ, Surf City Squeeze and a Dunkin’ Donuts/Baskin-Robbins joint concept. Single-unit food service operations, which are spaces featuring and run by only one business, include a 180-seat Sbarro; the Center Court Café, a 70-seat café located in the middle of the Pentagon’s Center Courtyard; a 40-seat Subway; a 24/7 Dominic’s food service operation; and various cart operations. On Dec. 2, 2009, foodservice renovation plans culminated with the new Pentagon Dining Room opening its doors, introducing a fi ne-dining experience and signaling the work had reached completion. “This facil- ity,” said Jeff Keppler, busi- ness manager/contracting offi cer for the Department of Defense Concessions Committee (DoDCC), “is a 220-seat tablecloth res- taurant that also offers two private function rooms, capable of seating 40 and another with a capacity of 20.

  • The United States Atomic Army, 1956-1960 Dissertation
    INTIMIDATING THE WORLD: THE UNITED STATES ATOMIC ARMY, 1956-1960 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Paul C. Jussel, B.A., M.M.A.S., M.S.S. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee Approved by Professor Allan R. Millett, Advisor Professor John R. Guilmartin __________________ Professor William R. Childs Advisor Department of History ABSTRACT The atomic bomb created a new military dynamic for the world in 1945. The bomb, if used properly, could replace the artillery fires and air-delivered bombs used to defeat the concentrated force of an enemy. The weapon provided the U.S. with an unparalleled advantage over the rest of the world, until the Soviet Union developed its own bomb by 1949 and symmetry in warfare returned. Soon, theories of warfare changed to reflect the belief that the best way to avoid the effects of the bomb was through dispersion of forces. Eventually, the American Army reorganized its divisions from the traditional three-unit organization to a new five-unit organization, dubbed pentomic by its Chief of Staff, General Maxwell D. Taylor. While atomic weapons certainly had an effect on Taylor’s reasoning to adopt the pentomic organization, the idea was not new in 1956; the Army hierarchy had been wrestling with restructuring since the end of World War II. Though the Korean War derailed the Army’s plans for the early fifties, it returned to the forefront under the Eisenhower Administration. The driving force behind reorganization in 1952 was not ii only the reoriented and reduced defense budget, but also the Army’s inroads to the atomic club, formerly the domain of only the Air Force and the Navy.

  • Navy Force Structure and Shipbuilding Plans: Background and Issues for Congress
    Navy Force Structure and Shipbuilding Plans: Background and Issues for Congress September 16, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RL32665 Navy Force Structure and Shipbuilding Plans: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The current and planned size and composition of the Navy, the annual rate of Navy ship procurement, the prospective affordability of the Navy’s shipbuilding plans, and the capacity of the U.S. shipbuilding industry to execute the Navy’s shipbuilding plans have been oversight matters for the congressional defense committees for many years. In December 2016, the Navy released a force-structure goal that calls for achieving and maintaining a fleet of 355 ships of certain types and numbers. The 355-ship goal was made U.S. policy by Section 1025 of the FY2018 National Defense Authorization Act (H.R. 2810/P.L. 115- 91 of December 12, 2017). The Navy and the Department of Defense (DOD) have been working since 2019 to develop a successor for the 355-ship force-level goal. The new goal is expected to introduce a new, more distributed fleet architecture featuring a smaller proportion of larger ships, a larger proportion of smaller ships, and a new third tier of large unmanned vehicles (UVs). On June 17, 2021, the Navy released a long-range Navy shipbuilding document that presents the Biden Administration’s emerging successor to the 355-ship force-level goal. The document calls for a Navy with a more distributed fleet architecture, including 321 to 372 manned ships and 77 to 140 large UVs. A September 2021 Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report estimates that the fleet envisioned in the document would cost an average of between $25.3 billion and $32.7 billion per year in constant FY2021 dollars to procure.

  • CHAPTER 5 BRAINPOWER for LEADERSHIP
    5 VOLUME TWO: TEAM LEADERSHIP CHAPTER 5 BRAINPOWER for LEADERSHIP LEADERSHIP IS AN INTELLECTUAL ACTIVITY. It requires brainpower. Developing your brainpower can only make you a more effective leader. Recognizing this fact, the U.S. military, the most professional force in the world, requires all officers to be college graduates. Moreover, even after commissioning, officers will attend four or more graduate-level schools on their way to the grade of colonel and above. Top NCOs receive a rigorous education, too. Moreover, a leader’s overall brainpower will affect his or her success. In this chapter, we look at critical thinking, creativity, and teaching – three aspects of leadership that speak to the need for serious study and the application of brainpower. Leaders need to teach themselves how to think and how to learn. If you want to lead, you better get yourself smart. 38 VOLUME TWO: TEAM LEADERSHIP CRITICAL THINKING CHAPTER GOALS 1.

  • By March, Supervisors Vow Study on High Desert County Hospital with Trauma Center
    9/12/2017 By March, Supervisors vow study on High Desert county hospital with trauma center By March, Supervisors vow study on High Desert county hospital with trauma center By Shea Johnson Staff Writer Posted Sep 11, 2017 at 1:04 PM Updated Sep 11, 2017 at 1:04 PM San Bernardino County officials will analyze within the next six months the feasibility of constructing a county hospital with a trauma center in the High Desert. San Bernardino County officials will analyze within the next six months the feasibility of constructing a county hospital with a trauma center in the High Desert. It was only one of six recommendations made by the civil Grand Jury in late June in response to a shortage of emergency room beds and hospital overcrowding in this region, but it was the most striking due to the enormity of such an undertaking, likely to cost hundreds of millions of dollars. In a proposed response to the jury’s report expected to be approved by county Supervisors on Tuesday, the officials, acting in their capacity as the governing board of the Inland Counties Emergency Management Agency, say research is required. “This recommendation requires further analysis, specifically a discussion involving the various stakeholders on the costs, feasibility and various possible approaches to addressing the concerns upon which the recommendation is based,” the Supervisors’ response said. The analysis, it continued, will take place within six months of Tuesday, meaning by no later than mid-March. http://www.vvdailypress.com/news/20170911/by-march-supervisors-vow-study-on-high-desert-county-hospital-with-trauma-center 1/3 9/12/2017 By March, Supervisors vow study on High Desert county hospital with trauma center In a conversation following the Grand Jury report’s release, Supervisors Chairman Robert Lovingood, who represents the Victor Valley, described a county hospital as recommended by the jury, similar to that of Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton, as “a priority.” “I think it’s absolutely on,” he told the Daily Press at the time.
