Home Station Field Reset (HSFR)
Small Team Paper
I am on a team called Home Station Field Reset (HSFR). The group I work with is the Electronic and Armormant portion of the team. We have eight members in our group total. Our job is to do an initial inspection on all the electronical equipment, and weapons in the North Carolina National Guard coming home from overseas. After that we order what parts are needed to fix the equipment. Then when it is fixed we do a final inspection, and send it back to the unit so they can continue to train.
In all my experiences of being in a small group I believe that this is one of the best possible. We all come from different cultures and races. But we all still manage to get along better than most groups I have been in. When we were …show more content…
When they got back we had just lost four people on another deployment. So we were short on personnel, and the few that we had didn’t have a whole lot of experience in their job. There were two of us with experience that we SSG, and I. When we first found out that we were going to be doing the 30th Brigade after losing our people we went to our higher up to try and get some more help. They said okay at first but then told us that they didn’t have the money to hire and train new people. So we were still going to have to do the mission with few personnel but still get it done in 365 days just like always. So SSG and I took it upon our self and started training the few people we did have. They knew the situation we were in and all worked as hard as they could to learn how to do the work as well as fill out the paperwork as well. We had two of our soldiers stand up and take on the team leader position after only a week or two. So we decided to split the team into two groups with SSG and one of the other team leaders working on one team. The other team leader and I worked together to make up the other team. This solution mad it where each team had to work a little bit harder but also made it where we could still complete the mission on time with the work still being done …show more content…
Throughout the whole mission we never had any help or good guidance from our so called leader. Our leadership made the mission ten times harder than it had to be. If they would have stepped in, and hired a few more people or let my team borrow a few people from another team that wont using all their members we would have finished a lot sooner as well as done a better job as well. So instead myself and a fellow employee had to step up and plan out how we could inspect all units under the 30th Brigade as well as get parts ordered and apply them when they came
