PREREQUISITES: None. Students should be familiar with the kind of
math encountered in a first-year algebra course. Very basic familiarity with EXCEL is
desirable.
SCOPE: This newly revised course teaches students
how to use decision analysis techniques to provide additional information to
managers facing particularly difficult decisions. Emphasis is on utilitarian tools that can be
quickly mastered and used in a variety of situations by managers and staff
without formal mathematical or management science backgrounds. The course begins with a review of basic
statistical concepts used in the course.
Single attribute decision analysis using decision trees and expected
value are covered. Sensitivity analysis
and value of additional information are discussed. Economic analysis as a decision tool is covered
with particular emphasis on how to handle cash flows over a number of years. Influence diagrams are used to decompose
decisions into small parts that highlight the structure of the decision and the
information required. Multiple attribute
decision analysis is done using simple additive weighting. Students complete a series of realistic cases
that provide experience using the techniques in situations where the necessary
information is either not completely available or imperfect, forcing the
students to make reasonable estimations to “fill in the holes” in the data. Although calculations are done by hand
initially to insure student understanding, more voluminous work is done in
EXCEL. Assessment is through case
studies.
NOTE: Students should bring a four-function
calculator (+, -, *, /) to class.

PREREQUISITES: Students should be mid-level managers,
active or reserve component military (MAJ/LCDR, LTC/CDR) or civilians (GS12 –
GS/GM14). Priority will go to those
assigned to or enroute to a position that requires multinational logistics

headquarters logistics staffs, service logisticians, alliance logistics staff,
United Nations logistics staff, major logistics command logistics staff/action
officers or others such as senior logistics commanders (O6), staff officers
working logistics doctrine issues/actions, CONUS-based International

SATFA. O3s and warrant officers are
strongly encouraged to attend with a waiver.
This is a DOD course as defined by AR 351-9 (Interservice Training).
SCOPE: This course provides an overview of
multinational operations. It acts as a
force multiplier by familiarizing students with logistics strategy, doctrine,
theory, programs and processes in a multinational environment. It provides the opportunity for them to
develop the perspectives and insights necessary to perform effectively and
efficiently as logistics managers in an alliance or coalition at the operational
level of war.
NOTE: The course deals with activities
between countries, not services, as is done in the Joint Course on Logistics
(ALMC-JC). As such, there is minimal
overlap between the two courses.

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENTS COURSE (ALMC-DR)
MODES AND DURATION :
Resident—3 days
Onsite—3 days
RECOMMENDED CREDIT : None
POC : DSN 539-4460/(804) 765-4460
PREREQUISITES : This course is designed for all
Army officers, warrant officers, noncommissioned officers and civilians
involved in the preparation, use and updating of Performance Work
Statements. There are no restrictions as
to grade, rank, position, active duty or reserve as long as the above
applies. This is not a « career
development » course, but a « how to » course for individuals
who have to work Performance Work Statements.
SCOPE : This course provides an
overview of the use of PWS in the contracting process, common terminology that
is employed, and responsibilities of the different organizations that are
involved. OMB, DOD and Department of the
Army guidance will be presented and discussed.
The development process for creating a PWS and formatting options will
be reviewed. Writing concerns and
problems will be examined. Exercises and
examples that illustrate key points and issues will be used.
PRESENTATION TECHNIQUES (ALMC-PT)
MODES AND DURATION:

noncommissioned officers and career and career conditional civilians. Nominees should have completed college-level
courses in English composition, writing skills, or verbal communications and be
assigned a position that requires briefing skills. Waiver requests will be considered on a
case-by-case basis.
SCOPE: Traditionally, presenters mistakenly
consider the briefing as an event that occurs at the end of a study or
immediately following the boss’s request for information. This course counters that idea by introducing
the concepts of realistic translation of information and the “Briefing
Process,” which is a systematic and structured procedure that covers the issues
in the development of a briefing.
Elements of the “Briefing Process” are discussed in detail, including
recent examples of successful Army presentations.

PREREQUISITES: There are no prerequisites, although
familiarity with first-year algebra is helpful.
SCOPE: This course presents the fundamental
concepts and techniques used to analyze and manage risks in projects. The notion of risk is defined and a general
approach to risk analysis and management is developed. Qualitative techniques for risk analysis are
reviewed in detail to include the identification of risk events, the use of
“Fishbone” charts, likelihood ranking, impact assessment and the description of
the risk associated with the event. The
use of various risk matrices is covered.
Events are ranked and risk mitigation measures are discussed. Residual risk is determined and secondary
risks are identified. Quantitative risk
analysis techniques include the use of PERT to determine schedule risk. Monte Carlo simulation is used to determine
cost and schedule risk and to better specify the likelihood of the occurrence
of specific risk events, and to determine the size of management reserves. The use of the Venture Evaluation &
Review Technique (VERT) for Monte Carlo simulation is covered and the software
is provided free of charge. Utility
curves and decision maker attitudes toward risk are covered.
NOTE: Successful
completion of ALMC-RD and ALMC-RB will count toward the same ALMC certificate
requirements as did the completion of the former 2-week ALMC-DA.

before Phase II. This is important
because Phase II challenges them to integrate what they have learned to develop
logistical support plans for a tactical scenario at the forward, main, and
corps support battalion levels.

an elective at the Command and General Staff College (CGSC). The course provides an overview of
multifunctional CSS functions in the division and corps areas as prescribed in
FM 4-0. It also provides tactics,
techniques, and procedures that can be used by support operations
officers. The first week of instruction
focuses on tactical logistics at the FSB, MSB, and CSB (FWD) levels. At the end of the first week, the technical
aspects of support operations are presented.
This includes lecture and discussion on SAMS 1 and 2, SARSS-Objective,
and the management of maintenance and supply information in support of maneuver
forces. The second week of the course
focuses on integrating the concepts learned in the first week into logistics
planning using the military decisionmaking process.

the steps the team should take as it commences work. These steps might include clarifying group
norms; building an agenda; appointing meeting management roles; warm-ups;
discussion and clarification of the team’s charter; group dynamics; basic
scientific tools used in problem solving; and the importance of collecting
correct, meaningful, and timely data.
The course also includes an overview of how important it is that the
team does not become unduly dependent on the facilitator, and the facilitator
should not view the team/meeting as “belonging to him/her.”
