ABSTRACT The United States Department of Defense (DoD) employs advanced-degreed entomologists as Preventive Medicine and Public Health Officers in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. While the primary objective of military entomologists is service member health and readiness (“force health protection”), military entomology resources can provide support to civil authorities as directed by the President or Secretary of Defense through Department of Defense Directive 3025.18, Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA). The employment of DSCA is complex and involves the consideration of such factors as the proper request process, funding, legality, risk, appropriateness, and readiness. Once approved and mobilized, however, military preventive medicine assets can be of significant help to civil authorities when dealing with emergency vector control. This paper will address some of the policy issues surrounding the use of DSCA, outline the resources available from the individual military services, and provide examples of DoD contingency vector control support to civil authorities.

The third Peabody Museum Awatovi expedition, under the direction of the writer began work on July 12, 1937, and remained in the field until November 5, 1937. The explorations and excavations were carried on under permission of the United States Department of the Interior. The continuation of these studies was made possible by the contributions of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Claflin, Jr., Mr. Henry S. Morgan, Mr. and Mrs. Philip Allen, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Emerson, and the Peabody Museum. Its primary objective was the securing of information relative to the post-Spanish period of Awatovi.

In Zeiten knapper Kassen und sinkender Budgets gab das US-Verteidigungsministerium 2001 bekannt, zukünftig verstärkt das Konzept der „Performance-based Logistics“ (PBL) zur Verschlankung der militärischen Supply Chain einzusetzen. Bestärkt durch die bisherigen Erfolge im angelsächsischen Raum, findet der Ansatz mittlerweile auch in Europa große Beachtung. Der vorliegende Beitrag verfolgt das Ziel, den PBL-Begriff zu erläutern und den Innovationsgehalt des Konzepts kritisch zu hinterfragen. Darauf aufbauend gelingt die Identifikation von Anwendungspotenzialen in der zivilen Logistik. In 2001, when money was tight and budgetary resources limited, the United States Department of Defense announced the further implementation of “Performance-based Logistics” (PBL), a concept which was supposed to streamline the military supply chain. After some quite impressive success stories in the Anglo-Saxon world, the concept now attracts some interest in Europe. Therefore, this article pursues the goal of answering the following three questions: (1) What does PBLactually stand for? (2) What is the innovative contribution of the concept? (3) What potentials exist for the application of PBL in civil logistics? Keywords: performance based logistics

The Individual

This account of the problems of navigating the Hustler, the Convair B-j8 supersonic bomber, was presented at the sixteenth Annual General Meeting of the American Institute of Navigation, held at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs on 16, 17, 18 June. It is published with the kind permission of that Institute.In navigating high-performance vehicles with the precision required to get acceptable results, the individual is limited in his ability to assess all the data available about heading, speed, instrument readings, &c, and to act upon this information in sufficient time to get the job done. The same limitations apply to pilots when flight conditions approach the design limits of the aircraft. For these reasons the manual tasks required of the crew of the B-58 have been automated to the extent that transition to a missile environment seems almost complete.
