Abstract

The threats to the homeland and the strategic priorities of the United States have grown over the last two decades. The resources in the active duty component of the US Army are at maximum capacity requiring the Department of Defense to utilize its combat reserves. As a result, the operational tempo and deployment cycles for the National Guard (NG) have increased in quantity and intensity.

Mobilization for federal deployments have become a way of life in the NG. With resources less abundant, it is imperative that every resource is used efficiently over the project’s lifecycle. Traditional methods of project management (waterfall, critical path and quality management) were used in this capstone. The lessons learned from this exercise show there are commonalities among projects but every project is different and even a routine project, such as a mobilization, requires careful planning and execution to deliver the value promised to the stakeholders.
