Today’s business environment in both public and private sectors is uncharted territory.  In the past, business organizations have coped with dramatic change and uncertainty, such as global and regional war, political unrest, disruptions in source of supply and rising cost of resources, foreign and domestic competition, rapidly evolving technology, climatic change, critical financial constraints and general economic downturns. However, today’s business organizations face all of these challenges at the same time.

My father was a P.O.W. in World War II. He flew 23 missions over Germany as a B24 pilot prior to being shot down. Recently, he was buried in Arlington with full military honors. I have known our government and soldiers to be among the most honorable people on earth.

I wrote about our experiences in my blog at blog.medicalhealthsupply.com in preparation for a meeting with New York State bar association on the anniversary of his passing last November.

I normally do not write about issues pertaining to non-medical concerns, but I am deeply concerned about the direction that our government is taking as pertaining to the support for our military.

I appreciate your commitment to excellence and your support for the military. Keep up the good work.

I had not known much about Defense Logistics Agency before, and I found this article very interesting. The scope of DLA' business is so wide, and their support of our service men and women very impression. I would like to learn more about DLA in the Business of Government in the future.

Inés R. Triay, Ph.D.: Managing the world’s largest nuclear waste cleanup

During the Cold War, the U.S. nuclear stockpile reached more than 30,000 nuclear weapons. Research and production of these weapons resulted in large volumes of nuclear waste—some of the most dangerous materials known to mankind—posing significant environmental risks and challenges. “The U.S. Department of Energy has under its purview the Environmental Management program, which is responsible for cleaning up the legacy of the Cold War,” says Dr. Inés Triay, assistant secretary, Environmental Management within the U.S. Department of Energy.
