Topics for Discussion

METRICS - What are we measuring in 2d MAW?

• Discussion Show me how you measure me and I
  will show you how I behave. Is there a standard
  metric that we want to be measured by?
• NMCS/PMCS, but what are the drivers of NMCS/PMCS?
  When we ask the Five Whys about NMCS/PMCS
  drivers what do we discover?
• Recommendation A task group get together and
  look at the Five Whys of NMCS/PMCS drivers to
  come up with metrics that measure how successful
  we are in providing reliable Aviation Logistics
  Support of Combat Readiness.
• Drivers O level Squadron Goals, Leadership,
  Policies, Qualified Marines, Parts, GSE, IMRL,
  Information Systems, Accountability, TRR/buffers
  or legacy metrics, etc

AIRSpeed Awareness Training AIRSpeed 101

• Discussion There are many different AIRSpeed
  tools that are being taught by military
  personnel, civilian contractors and community
  colleges. In order to ensure consistency of
  effort within 2dMAW we need to develop a
  standardized entry level AIRSpeed training
  package that provides all Marines/Sailors the
  basic foundation of these AIRSpeed tools combined
  with the Mission, Vision and Goals of Marine
  Aviation.
• Recommendation Within 2dMAW we must standardize
  a training package that covers the right material
  and that can be taught by a Green Belt or higher
  within the chain of command. Ensure that this
  training package is updated annually and
  retrained annually.

MALSP II

• Discussion MALSP II pilot study is currently
  being tested by 3dMAW and MALS-16. Current test
  involves 200 CH-46 consumable NIINs that are
  owned by MALS-11. Future pilot will involve the
  stand up of an ESB in Norfolk. What will be the
  impact on MALS-29 and 2d MAW Marines in support
  of this ESB and overall MALSP II pilot.
• Recommendation MALS-29 continue the MALSP II
  pilot study as started by MALS-16 in theatre.
  Establish clear goals/metrics that will be used
  to determine the success or failure of the MALSP
  II pilot.
