Bruce Cadarette of the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine at Natick Soldier Systems Center, MA, monitors volunteers in Mission Oriented Protective Posture 4 gear during testing of a body-worn microclimate cooling system for helicopter aircrew members. Environmental medicine is one of a host of specialties within MEDCOM, all supported by the 850-strong MEDCOM AWF. (U.S. Army photo)
CONTINUED OVERSIGHT As this effort progresses, we are working to ensure that all MEDCOM AWF mem- bers and their supervisors understand their
responsibilities and opportunities,
including application to positions on the Centrally Selected List, funding from the Acquisition Tuition Assistance Program and attendance at leadership training, among many others.
As we add and update TDAs and PDs, a deliberate assessment of the work- force continues regarding certification and CLPs. Te ACMA and OAP con- duct monthly reviews of each and send monthly reminders to AWF members and their supervisors to ensure completion
MEDCOM AWF members are now becoming more aware of their require- ments and what they need to obtain and sustain certification. For example, the ACMA notifies those not meeting the CLP glide path every month, and the OASA(ALT) deputy for medical sys- tems/commanding general, USAMRMC notifies senior leadership (at the two-star level) quarterly. As of the end of June 2013, 63 percent of the MEDCOM AWF was meeting the glide-path targets; a year later, 94 percent were on target and 86
of requirements. As a result, in the 18 months since initiation of this overhaul, the delinquency rate has dropped from 8 percent to 1 percent.
percent had met their CLP requirement. (See Figure 1 on Page 133.) Tenacity, edu- cation and frequent reminders from the ACMA and senior leadership have proven to be extremely helpful.
Of the 505 MEDCOM AWF members who are eligible to join the Army Acqui- sition Corps (AAC), 232 have obtained membership. However, one of the remaining challenges for our engineers and biomedical scientists is the AAC requirement to obtain 12 to 24 business credits. As a result, in FY14 MEDCOM requested and received money from the Defense Acquisition Workforce Devel- opment Fund (DAWDF) to support this requirement. To date, 11 MEDCOM
