lastly, the office of procurement and logistics is governed by va policies of va acquisition. such policies are noent address the purchasing of various items within va. pva would like to make certain the change to the office of procurement and logistics managing the cost of prosthetics does not lead to a standardization of items such as artificial limbs, specialized wheelchairs and surgical implants. pva strongly urgeness the va to continue to abide by va policy that adheres to title 38, united states code section 8123 a statute that enables the va to meet the unique prosthetic needs of veterans without contract bulk purchasing. veterans must have access to prosthetics that best fit their individual needs. for many years psas has done a good job ensuring the number one consideration ordering prosthetics is quality, the ability to meet the medical and personal needs of veterans. the va must make certain that the issuance and delivery of prosthetics continues to be provided based on the uniqueness of veterans and to help maximize their quality of life. again, pva thanks this com

and 75% of those papers are military papers, but most of them are logistics about the logistics of the army. and washington was corresponding with all the governors of the states simultaneously and with many other people as well. and he was leading what was the first american national institution after the continental congress. the continental army became a school for the design of institutions and also a foreign idea of leadership. he also had to find a way of fighting the war. the american people had difficult requirements of their leaders. they wanted them to be bold, to take the initiative. but they wanted them to be prudent at the same time and prudent meant to be very careful with the lives of their men. and washington had to find a way to do both of those things as well. he had to find a way to fight two very skilled armies. the hessians were not the clowns that they appear in much of the literature, but were very professional soldiers. they had officers who went to universities and studied military science, i think, well ahead of the british in that regard. and washington was u

we have a lot of capability that's in the middle and logistics and information in medical, in all the things i've talked about. we can talk about on the panel. so i think the idea is not hard power or just soft power it's finding that dial and setting it right so that we can support the development community as you do in the end what will cause the strategic success that will move us forward as a planet and that i think is your charch and our job is to try and support you where we can in these theaters of conflict. i hope we have a chance to talk about that on the panel. with that, thank you very much. it's a more to be with you today. thanks. thanks a lot.

norbert doyle, who is vha's chief procurement and logistics officer. va's prosthetics and sensory aid service is the largest and most comprehensive provider of prosthetic devices and sensory aids in the world, offering a full range of equipment and services. all enrolled veterans may receive any prosthetic item prescribed by a va clinician without regard to service connection when it is determined to promote, preserve or restore the health of the individual and is in accord with generally accepted standards of medical practice. i will briefly summarize the major initiatives under way to improve the quality and availability of amputation care. these fall under five general headings, staffing and community partnerships, accreditation of va laboratories, improved training for va staff, greater research into amputation and clinical issues, and collaborations with the department of defense. first, va's prosthetic and sensory aid service has a robust clinical staff of prosthetists as more than 75 locations and also partners with the private sector to provide

in simultaneous offenses he would exhaust the south's logistical capacity and conquer the two major federal armies still left in the field. grant was not a meditator like mcclellan where he thought so long and hard about a campaign it never got anywhere. grant was a man of action. he would devise and try something. it failed he tried something else. his intentions were always the same, to keep moving forward against the enemy. what grant proposed was precisely what abraham lincoln had been urging on deaf ears for the past two years. now in virginia this was going to be a contest between the south's best general and his most successful army against the north's best general and lee's successful army. april 1864 became the greatest mobilization month of the entire war. at grant's appointment to supreme command lincoln told him as my dear friend emphasized in fatherly fashion the particulars of your plan are neither known nor seek known. i wouldn't wish to put constraints or restraints on you. if there's anything wanting which is in my forgive do not fail to let me know. grant took the presiden

we can support through infrastructure, logistics, information. we have the ability to reach into those spaces. and secondly, all of us as we work together on development, diplomacy, defense, we need to be in these social networks. it's terrific to publish articles in the journal of nobody actually reads it, and i've published a few of those. but to exist, to move a message in the world today, you have to be in these social networks. largest nations in the world. china, india, facebook, the united states, twitter, indonesia. so we need to move better and connect in this world as well, and we're trying to do that in partnership with all of you. next, please. so this is a busy slide and i'm not going to dwell on it. but it wraps up this approach that i'm discussing, which is if you look on the outside, of course this slide is geared to afghanistan. if you look on the outside you see the flags of the nations that are represented there today doing development, defense and diplomacy in afghanistan. inside that, you see the logos of international organi

artur buyuklyanov is responsible for the logistics. >> this is a mountainous region. the people generally live at an altitude of over two thousand five hundred meters. and there are extreme temperature fluctuations. that's why such regions feel the negative impacts of climate change the most. >> senior consultant muratbek aliyaskarov works under tough conditions. there are only 150 beds in this clinic for the entire region. an increasing number of patients are suffering from circulation problems or infectious diseases. the weather extremes are to blame. the number of people falling ill is rising every year. last winter was unusually long and spring has been too wet so far. the farmers at the at-bachi market are worried about their next harvest. zhildisbek kaparov has begun sowing late because the fields and meadows are still wet. he's worried that he won't have enough fodder for his horses. >> the weather's changing. last year for example we had the harvest, we hadn't yet taken in the hay. suddenly one day in fall, we had our first snow. it covered everything. and we

with the logistics and budget details, the three departments are jointly funding the new office and the director. the seven existing positions will be transferred over into this new office. hsa would be the best agency to provide the back office support. so this new office would not be incurring additional bodies for hr and budgeting. although so be handled through hsa. we continue to be mindful about the state budget impacts and the changes that could be coming down. a final note on the next steps, we are working to develop a director position job description. we will float its common to our interviews, and make recommendations to the mayor on candidates. with the final appointment in august with the intent of opening the office in september or october. the director and staff will move over to the new space. in terms of the space, we will be looking at space that is currently occupy by the city. all of the agencies have some space. we need to make some determination about how close the office needs to be to hsa for logistical purposes. we are looking in places where there will be no re

lincoln reacted to a rational explanation from him of logistical problems with a rare burst of anger. was he so flustered, he referred to himself in the third person as he banged desk and dictated his response to fremont. he said you were directed by td president to move against jackson in harrisburg and operate in a way to relieve banks. this movement must be made immediately. acknowledge receipt of this order and specify the hour it is received by you. unquote. can you imagine lincoln dictating an order to rant like that. lincoln didn't dictate one har are shaller. lincoln exceeded to fremont's request to strausburg, farther north. simultaneous with unrealistic orders to fremont, he directed mcdowell to start for shenandoah valley along the line of the menassis railway. your object will be to capture the forces of jackson, lincoln said, either in cooperation with general fremont, or in case a want of supplies or transportation interferes with his movement, it is believed the force you have will be sufficient to accomplish either object alone. mcdowell when he got these orders was ab

for this event to continue safely, that the organization and the logistics need to be looked at by next year. something as simple as how barricades are being put up for the gates to the stage locations, what is going on. we are still getting poor communication between the stages. it took us almost two hours to clear the streets after the event this weekend. again, we were very fortunate. we did not have anything serious, major. some violence and minor fights. a lot of theft of cell phones. but nothing major. i feel that we got lucky on this one. it is my recommendation that, in the future, you can do that. we have some debriefings that we can round table and see how best to move forward. i finally have some good news on la cocina. i was in communication this week with them and they hired a lawyer to interface with us in getting them compliant. i am hopeful. i am trying to be positive. i am hopeful we will see some of the compliance happen that they are supposed to do. hopefully, by next meeting, i will have some real news and real attraction to report to you guys. on the sheik given to

lincoln's orders to fremont reflected a poor understanding of logistical problems the field commanders faced. on may 24th, he directed him to move against jackson at harrisonburg, and operate against the enemy in such way to relieve banks, unquote. unbeknownst to lincoln, they fro montana's army was near starvation, a move towards harrisonburg would take fremont away from his base of supplies in the allegheny mountains. lincoln reacted to a rational explanation from fremont of his logistical problems with a rare burst of anger. he was so flustered that he referred to himself in the third person, as he banged desks and dictated his response to fremont. he said, fremont, you were directed to by the president to move against jackson in harrisonburg and operate in a way to relieve banks. this movement must be made immediately. acknowledge receipt of this order and specify the hour it is received by you. unquote. can you imagine lincoln dictating an order to rant like that? within a day, it became obvious, fremont's difficulties were, indeed, insuperable and lincoln exceeded to fremont's re

how is logistics will be moved around. how ships can come in and help us out.here? that level of exchange during fleet week has 10 times improve our relationship with the military and down to the very neighbors who appreciate the presence and new relationship we have, while they understand the international humanitarian role that our military has. these are all great relationships. again, you do not have to use the word "disaster" to build capacity, resiliency, and the ideas of recovery. you can take these opportunities as this remark suggests -- as this remark suggests from femaç that you look at this from a whole community perspective. everyone has an opportunity to produce a, strengthen ties. we live in the cities. we agreed confidence. we have recovery in the forefront. -- we have breed confidence. we have recovery in the forefront. thank you for coming here. çplease dialogue and create the relationships you do not have. these are invaluable things. you know the city will welcome better ideas and push for the whole area of mitigation to get to the problem

we needed to get fuel, food and all of these capabilities on the battlefield quickly and this logistics surge was a huge part of secretary gates' and my focus. since then, thanks to the incredible efforts of the men and women of our armed forces, superb commanders and leadership of the president and congress we were able to end the iraq war responsibly, al qaeda is on the ropes and its leadership is decimated and we made significant progress in afghanistan. i've again going to afghanistan for well over three years now since secretary gates and i first had that conversation. and i was there a cupful weeks ago. and i have to tell you, our troops, our allies, our afghan partners, they are performing exceptionally well and doing heroic things to bring security to that country. i was in the hellman valley where last year we took such terrible losses. this time i walked around the market, no body armor. i went up to the dam up the hellman river which was just a distant dream to me six, eight months ago. over the last ten years congress and the department worked together to get our troops what

another factor is the logistics and contracting within prosthetic services. walter reed embedded a warranted contract officer in the prosthetic service which enables same-day ordering of new prosthetic devices with next day delivery. the development of blanket purchase agreements have ensured best value through discount pricing and fixed component costs. a logistics technician provides the ability to warehouse non patient specific items further reducing delay in delivery and care. a third factor in the success of the d.o.d. has been the research efforts with partnerships of industry and the v.a. in providing new devices such as the microprocessor knee the bionic robotic ankle and power knee. so the department uses the both civilian and contract prosthesis within the facility. and enabling the d.o.d. best value was guaranteed within the contract and in a bid phase of the procurement. the civilian model has wide degree of variability costs. based on the use of not otherwise classified codes in the health care procedure coding system. what non otherwise classifi

army was doing the best they can and actually did make very good strides medically and logistically during the war, but of course with the sheer amount of numbers they had, it was very, very difficult for them to keep up. and of course, so missing soldiers naturally fell into a category that was somewhat neglected. so she was very happy to add that, you know, to keep herself moving and involved at times when she didn't have a whole lot of other work to be doing. and then that naturally fell into anytime before when you have missing soldiers, but clara barton was actually the person after getting a u.s. charter for the american association of the international red cross, she's the one who suggested to them and had an amendment made for the international red cross to include natural disasters, not just war. i would like the think that of course she didn't want to be working during a war, but if there was no war, what was she going to do. so she was very happy to be able to add natural disaster and really expand the amount of service that she could provide to not just include the military but

ansf operational challenges include logistics, army and police interoperability and confidence among others. in my own opinion ansf's greatest challenge is one of confidence. our agreement to stand with them beyond 2014 has been a tremendous boost to their confidence. the will of their force will strengthen as their leadership strengthens and as their capabilities improve and as they continue to move more and more to the front. certainly back to the bottom line, we assess that our security strategy, our security transition is on track to have a sufficient and sustainable ansf assume full responsibility for security across afghanistan by the end of 2014. finally, thank you all for the work that you do on behalf of our servicemen and women as well as your efforts to ensure their protection and safety as they complete their mission in afghanistan. i stand ready to answer your questions. >> thank you, major general townsend, i appreciate your testimony. we'll begin with questioning and i want to begin with mr. sedney to get your opinions. we spoke with general allen just last week, ambas

grant early discovered that various logistical departments considered themselves independent agencies and they acted accordingly. grant insisted that the general in chief would oversee all such activity. the matter went to lincoln, who happily told grant, "there's no one but myself that can interfere with your orders, and you can rest assured that i will not." and that took care of the agencies. all soldiers on leave were ordered to return at once to their units. grant drew on needed men from every far-flung department. excess cavalry were converted into infantry. when grant directed that thousands of soldiers manning washington's elaborate defenses report to the army in the field, secretary of war edwin stampen objected strongly until lincoln overruled his cabinet member. you and i, mr. stanton, he said, have been trying to boss this job a long time and we have not succeed very well with it. i think we'd better leave him alone to do as he pleases. and with that stanton backed off. grant sharply reduced the number of wagon trains to accompany the army so as not to impede the movements

where does this head politically and logistically?stically we'll have a vote and it will be turned over to the courts. i was driving in and i listened to 15-minute discussion on national public radio on this issue. i don't think they have done a ton of times covering this. from time to time but not extensively. you see covering from outlets that haven't paid attention for a long time. the discussion on npr was first rate. walked through the evidence. if it gets to this point that is damaged to the white house and something republicans will press on. >> bret: this white house said that the attorney general ended tactics of the operatio operation. maybe they are walking a line for semantics, tactics of the operation. some say this is a double essentialed sword. >> congress looks like they're being political. the white house looks like they're holding something back. it may be a wash. >> the one thing you can say is how much apart from the politics tan constitutional issue how much of a failure holder is. the one job of a cabinet secreta
