2023 Winter Quarter Graduate Spotlight – Lt. Cmdr. Joshua Neal, U.S. Navy

#NavyReserve #efficiency #USNavy

U.S. Navy Lt. Cmdr. Joshua Neal is Human Resources officer in the Manpower Systems Analysis program. A former reservist, Neal wanted to use his experience in the #NavyReserve force to explore opportunities for #efficiency and cost savings in the personnel billeting assignment process while retaining warfighting readiness.

Using a custom, mixed method analysis that prioritized qualitative matching between personnel and billets across multiple criteria with no loss to readiness, Neal’s study revealed optimal personnel-to-billets match value across the specific community he studied – but at just 64 percent of the original cost. Ultimately, the prototype developed in Neal’s study could be utilized across the Reserve labor supply, ensuring Reservists bring the critical skills and experience to our strategic warfighting readiness and in alignment with the vision of the Chief of Navy Reserve at a savings of at least $50 million dollars.

Neal is among the 218 warrior-scholars celebrating the completion of their NPS studies during the Winter Quarter Graduation ceremony on Friday, March 24, at 10 a.m. Pacific (1 p.m. Eastern), featuring commencement speaker Vice Adm. John B. Mustin, Chief of Navy Reserve.

2023 Winter Quarter Graduate Spotlight – Lt. Felicia Goodell, U.S. Navy

#NavyReserve #efficiency #USNavy

In her NPS thesis, “Emergency Fuel Distribution for Disaster Relief on Marine Corps Base Hawaii,” U.S. Navy Lt. Felicia Goodell uses her Operations Research education to resolve an existing gap in emergency power and the fuel supply chain that could severely impact Marine Corps Base Hawaii following a serious natural or man-made disaster. Goodell’s research earned the Military Operations Research Society Stephen A. Tisdale Award.

Goodell’s research demonstrated @MCBH’s backup power generators were vulnerable to running out of fuel during prolonged power outages, severely impacting the base’s ability to maintain mission readiness. Her recommendations were adopted by MCBH and are being implemented in the State of Hawaii’s Emergency Management Plan and will improve the resilience to power disruption of not only MCBH but the surrounding communities.

“Lt. Goodell's thesis could not have come at a better time,” said Michael May, deputy director of supply for MCBH. “We know we need more capabilities for fuel at our installation and her work is helping us plan for future energy resilience. This work supports our current need and will be taken to the fleet to support mission assurance.”

Goodell is among the 218 warrior-scholars celebrating the completion of their NPS studies during the Winter Quarter Graduation ceremony on Friday, March 24, at 10 a.m. Pacific (1 p.m. Eastern), featuring commencement speaker Vice Adm. John B. Mustin, Chief of Naval Reserve.
