6. Cost Benefit Analysis Uses a formal, structured process to inject cost considerations into the decision making process Improves the cost effectiveness of acquisitions, policy alternatives, and other major decisions Is too time consuming and costly itself to be used for all day-to-day operating decisions Cost Managed Organizations Use cost management and control processes to improve the cost management and control of day-to- day operations

26. Tactical Unit Cost Management & Control: Non Deployable Soldiers Throughout the Army many Soldiers are unable to deploy Operational effects can be Under strength units deploying Units deploying with filler personnel Increased deployments for some personnel Reduced dwell to BOG (boots on the ground) time Cost effects involve military pay for limited military work $68 Billion milpay budget in FY11 controlled at Army level Commands, Armies, Corps, Divisions, Brigades, etc see no cost or even budget This means that Soldiers are free goods to their units FY11 milpay cost for non deployable soldiers is in $10 billion range

32. Commander’s 7 Feb Review Critique LTC Perry was unsatisfied with the results of the non deployable review process He recognized that the subordinates were not attacking the problem Instead they were complying with a reporting requirement The pages and pages of detail were data, not information He likened the situation as one of trying to fight the Battle of the Bulge with the following very detailed map

34. Leadership Driven Management LTC Perry changed the format of the review process to that of an AAR Established his Commander’s Intent Established his Commander’s Intent as: “look for and resolve systemic issues” Targeted medical profiles over one year and legal chapters over 60 days to be attacked Directed that preliminary meetings occur in the Squadrons Interacted with medical and legal staff on post to enlist their support © Dale R.
