Warfighting readiness is essential to the United States Government. The current high operational tempo requires the Department of Defense (DOD) to maintain a military that performs successfully, protects the warfighter, and ensures success even in the current climate of budget tightening in Washington, D.C. Maintaining essential programs and equipment requires identifying the root cause of negative readiness trends and growing financial strain. This, in turn, allows corrective actions to address systemic issues and not just individual problems. Herren provides essential solutions to deliver troops ready for tasking to company commanders. We have captured detailed readiness data from combatants and supported commands to assess warfare mission capability. Holding to the time-tested, combat-proven standards of operating, maintaining, inspecting, and certifying forces, our experts have spent over two decades building capacity and ensuring warfighting readiness for DOD programs in every stage of the life cycle.
Federal decision-makers must return the best value possible to the American taxpayer by doing more with less, particularly when it comes to supporting those sent into harm’s way. Renewed focus on improving cost-efficiencies, program effectiveness, and mission success must reach beyond DOD to all government enterprises, ensuring that the right resources are being used in the right places and for the right reasons. With a rich history of developing and redesigning processes that provide government agencies with repeatable and traceable results, Herren offers its proprietary SMART™ approach—proven to sustain program success in the midst of budget cuts. We document critical steps in the acquisition life cycle, collect and analyze data to determine root causes, and re-engineer processes to increase performance and quality standards. The results are proven: lower costs to both the customer and the organization. In the case of national security, we have positively affected warfighter readiness that improved operational availability for forward deployed military assets.
