O ur Nation's citizens expect that we provide the highest amount of combat readiness attainable, safely and within available resources and that at any time we can provide appropriate support, on time and on target. M ission accomplishment, safely executed, is an all-hands responsibility and is dependent on everyone doing what is required. When in doubt, there is no doubt. Undertake the training when the uncertainty has been eliminated. T he identification and reduction of hazards preserves assets and promotes readiness, mission accomplishment, and safety.
Hazard elimination is a form of process improvement.
It should have the active support of all hands. Keeping these in balance is a leadership responsibility. Unless approved by the CG 4th MAW, there will be no operationally necessary missions flown in the MAG-46. E ach Marine should know their unit's mission and how their job contributes to the accomplishment of that mission, with every Marine committed to do their best to help achieve it. S taffs, councils, boards, and committees, as currently constituted, can facilitate quality process improvements given the proper training and guidance without adding additional layers of bureaucracy.
