Importance Of Accountability
While the mission of the Army may be summarized into but a few words, the moving
parts required to accomplish this mission are vast and numerous. The sheer
number of moving parts is astounding. And these moving parts are not free. Not
only is it equipment that I’m referencing; but also personnel. Together all of these
things comprise the necessities of what it takes to fulfill a mission as large as the one
Army undertakes. That mission summarized boils down to national defense with
the primary responsibility being the land domain. The focus of this essay being the
importance of accountability in the scope of Army operations. We will discuss the
importance of accountability as it pertains to personnel, equipment, and time. At
the end,
we will hit the main points yet again but in a more concise format to bring it
all home. This will be just a run of the mill, simple, five paragraph essay with the
purpose of conveying the utmost importance of accountability.
When we speak of accountability in the Army, the first thing that comes to
mind is equipment. We have dedicated much time and effort to ensure that we keep
track of the equipment that assists and is necessary to carry out operations that may
seem menial in nature but play a large role. We conduct the ever loved inventories
on a regular basis to ensure that we have the equipment in order to facilitate
missions and the keep the Army moving forward in an efficient manner. These
inventories include sensitive items inventories, Pre-combat checks and Pre-combat
inspections, hand receipt holder’s inventories, clothing records checks, and too
many more to name in a single one thousand word essay. These things all have to
be documented on various forms such as DA 2062s, DA 3161s, DA 3078s, and so on
and so forth. Without all of these measures, operations go awry. When we do not
do our checks we hinder the mission. For instance, in certain vehicles Combat
Vehicle Crewman helmets are used; because of this we do not always feel the need
to have Army Combat Helmets. This is the logic that a typical servicemember would
have. Therefore, in a deployed environment it becomes even more pressing to
conduct Pre-combat checks and include an ACH in the list of things to check. If the
