Warrant Officer Training

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the author's views that the government can be, and mostly is, a bureaucratic organization that not only cannot save money efficiently, but wastes money on a daily basis. The author bases this statement on his 23 years of military service. It proposes a cost metrics for the training of warrant officers at the United States Army Signal Center, Fort Gordon, Georgia, and attempts to list the true cost of training warrant officers. It does this by taking all costs into account, such as the facilities, gas, water, electric, and salaries of the military personnel.

From the Paper:

"Every military unit has a mission statement. This needs to be identified and measured. Any other activities done to support the mission should also be identified. There are lots of these, and many are usually hidden, or not realized. Managers must define metrics, collect data and then analyze the data. They must be truthful and not misleading. The better the documentation, the more visible and convincing the decision-making process becomes. The biggest problem is identifying and documenting the hidden costs. Sometimes accidentally and other times on purpose."
