IDES PRICE MF-.10.76 BC-815.86 Plus Postage DESCRIPTORS Cluster Grouping; *Comparative Analysis; *Employment Qualifications; Enlisted Men; *Information Sources; Jobs; *Military Personnel; Military Service; Occupational Clusters; *Occupational Information IDENTIFIERS Air Force; Army; Coast Guard; Marine Corps; Navy ABSTRACT Information on enlisted military occupations is offered in the source book to arrive at a comprehensive statement of job tasks in the military service and their similarities to jobs in civilian life. Basic information about five areas of the U.S. military services (Army, Navy, lir Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard) focuses on their military enlistment, training, promotion, assignment, advanced education programs, and military reserve components. A section is devoted to the structure and use of the source book, examining the classification (specialty/rating) system of the military service based on the occupational cluster concept and the Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT). A significant section (256 pages) of the source book focuses on job statements for military service occupations which are equated to corresponding civilian occupations according to 10 categories:(1) professional, technical, and managerial occupations; (2) clerical and sales occupations; (3) service occupations; (4) farming, fishery, forestry, and related occupations;(5) processing occupations; (6) machine trades occupations; (7) bench work occupations; (8) structural work occupations:(9) miscellaneous occupations: and (10) military unique occupations (no civilian counterpart). References and a cross-indexed list of civilian titles with their corresponding DOT code are included.

In response to this increasing demand for technical training,educational orientations have shifted towards career education, and concurrently,there has been a burgeoning growth of vocational training centers at both the secondary and post-secondary school levels. In addition to state-subsidized vocational training schools, manyindustries are sponsoring technical training for persons entering specific jobs. Another source of training and a practical career alternative is employment in themilitary services. Military technical training and work have widespread application in the civilian community. The Department of Defense Military/Civilian Occupational Source Bookemphasizes this commonality be- tween military and civilian occupations. Hopefully, thisemphasis will Frovide a stimulus to qualified young men and women to investigate themilitary services as a source of immediate employment and for basic and advanced technical training which they can utilize in their military orcivilian career planning. UAL. w Ftul William K. Brehm Assistant Secretary of Defense (Manpower and Reserve Affairs) i. 3 FOREWORD The Department of Defense Military/Civilian Occupational Source Book was prepared by the Armed Forces Vocational Testing Group (AFVTG), under the auspices of the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Manpower and Reserve Affairs. The Vocational Testing Group is a joint service agency which manages the Department of Defense High School Testing Program and directs administmiion and research on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). The ASVAB measures a student's vocational aptitude, and identifies those areas in which heor she is most likely to succeed. The identification of the student's aptitude, coupled with the identification of specific jobs in that aptitude area, or cluster, is of considerable benefit to the student and the counselor in formulating the student's post-high school plans. This edition of the book does not include aptitudescore ranges for specific jobs; however, inclusion is planned for future editions.

These occupations are also identified under the fifteen career clusters developed by the De- partment of Health, Education and Welfare. The Source Book is a pioneer effort by the Department of Defense in formulating composite job state- ments for the five military services in those occupational areas where commonality of job tasks exists. Those occupations which are unique to one or more of the military services and/or for which there is na identified counterpart in the civilian job market are also described. The Source Book is nat intended to be all inclusive and does not replace individual military service oc- cupational information publications, but it does provide a starting point for investigating the opportunities for work experience and training available in all military services. For specific information about a particular service job, the local recruiting office for that service should be contacted.

  • Actions Aimed at Increasing the Beneficial Use of Foundry Sand
    Draft 9/17/09 ACTIONS AIMED AT INCREASING THE BENEFICIAL USE OF FOUNDRY SAND A MULTI-STAKEHOLDER ACTION PLAN September, 2009 Draft 9/17/09 September, 2009 Over the past year, a core planning group has worked in consultation with a broad group of stakeholders, to consider various actions for increasing the beneficial use of foundry sand. This process has produced a Multi-Stakeholder Action Plan (MAP) which identifies key challenges to increased beneficial use, and a comprehensive set of actions aimed at increasing the beneficial use, of foundry sands. These actions will a) document the economic and environmental case for beneficial use, b) foster sustainable markets linking sand generators with end users, c) address regulatory processes, and d) establish a coordinated framework to oversee implementation and measure progress. The planning process also generated a set of Initial Priority Actions that various key parties are undertaking over the next few years. These actions will address many of the challenges identified in the MAP and lay the groundwork for implementation of additional MAP actions. Currently, the foundry industry estimates that about 28% of sands are directed to beneficial use. The industry’s national trade association—the American Foundry Society—has set a goal of 50% beneficial use by 2015. During the development of the MAP, the stakeholders listed below expressed support for this goal and committed to work together towards achieving it through implementation of the Initial Priority Actions.

  • Federal Guidelines for Dam Safety Emergency Action Planning for Dams
    Federal Guidelines for Dam Safety Emergency Action Planning for Dams FEMA 64 / July 2013 All illustrations in this document were created by FEMA or a FEMA contractor unless otherwise noted. All photographs in this document are public domain or taken by FEMA or a FEMA contractor unless otherwise noted. PREFACE The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is responsible for coordinating the Federal response to disasters and for providing Federal guidance to State, local, Tribal, and Territorial emergency management authorities for all foreseeable emergencies in the United States and U.S. Territories. To improve the Nation’s emergency preparedness and response capabilities, FEMA believes that formal guidelines are needed to help dam owners, in coordination with emergency management authorities, effectively develop and exercise Emergency Action Plans (EAPs) for dams. The purpose of the guidance in this document is to meet that need. This document is an update of FEMA 64, Federal Guidelines for Dam Safety: Emergency Action Planning for Dam Owners (2004). Background In “Dam Safety Memorandum to the Heads of Certain Federal Agencies,” dated April 23, 1977, President Jimmy Carter directed that (1) dam safety reviews of various Federal programs be documented, (2) the chair of the Federal Coordinating Council for Science, Engineering, and Technology convene an ad hoc interagency committee provide “recommendations as to the means of improving the effectiveness of the Government-wide dam safety effort” and prepare and report on “proposed Federal dam safety guidelines for management procedures to ensure dam safety,” and (3) the Executive Office of Science and Technology Policy arrange for a panel of recognized experts to review agency regulations, procedures, and practices throughout the Federal Government and to review proposed Federal dam safety guidelines.
