EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Posted on: 16th May 2023

Question

Analyze and evaluate the major points of your case study for research to write your persuasive essay. Use your time to develop a deep understanding of your topic to fully explain your stance on the topic. You are required to give an in depth introduction of your topic. Provide transitional sentences from one topic to the next. Then develop the body of the paper fully using no less than 3 full pages and no more than 5 pages, this does not include the APA format title and references page. Finally, provide a summative conclusion. Provide a total of two references for your references page. Ensure you use Times New Roman 12 point font and the current APA Writing Style.

1. Objective. A military executive summary (EXSUM) is like a tactical operation:
well-planned, sharp and to the point. Assume that your chain of command or fellow staff officers / NCOs will read only your EXSUM and make their decision or recommendation based on the information there. That is the exact reason why the EXSUM is so important and as a Senior NCO you should know how to properly prepare one.

2. Instructions. Prepare a one-page EXSUM that describes the purpose and role of the General Fund Enterprise Business System (GFEBS) in the government’s efforts to manage costs. Prepare your executive summary using Arial font, 12 pitch. It may be no longer than one page in length. Use DA Memo 25-52, Staff Action Process and Correspondence Policies, for the format and style of an executive summary. Your office symbol is ATSG-NCOA-FMS. The G-8, LTC Brian Clearman, is the approving official for your EXSUM.

3. You must do your own original work. The SLC Written Communication Rubrics will be used to assess your work. Tips:

• Use the active voice. Employ the elements of good Army writing. Don't use a big word when a small one will do; avoid run-on sentences.

• Do not overstate and do not overwrite. Like all military matters, do -- or in this case, say -- what has to be said and move on.

• Speak to the audience of your executive summary. If your report is for high-ranking officers or NCOs, it requires a more formal tone than if the report is to be read by privates.

• Write a thesis statement that addresses the major thrust of the executive summary. Rather than quietly wading in, drop the bombshell and get the reader's attention in the first sentence of the executive summary.

• Leave your executive summary for at least 24 hours and then edit it for typing and grammar mistakes. Read the summary aloud and assess it for proper military tone.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

(U) General Fund Enterprise Business System (GFEBS). (U) (ATSG-NCOA-FMS)

The GFEBS is a cloud-based fiscal accountability system that coordinates and centralizes data pertaining to the military activities across its active-duty, NATIONAL Guard and Reserve branches. The GFEBS supports full-cost reporting for Army outputs to a central system, making it easier to follow all budget items. This centralization of the data and the assurance of integrity the GFEBS provides improves the department’s accountability. It also creates simple-to-follow costing procedures that deter pilferage and help highlight overruns and suspicious payments. Thus, these inbuilt features reduce opacity in the department’s budgeting units and encourage more responsible resource utilization. Trackable resource utilization establishes a record of all costs and unutilized resources remain within the budgetary allocation for future use. This pattern of utilizing only duly accounted for items reduces the cost overruns and instills a culture of accountability and financial responsibility. The central data from all branches reduces the chances of double costs and enables administrators to identify cost-saving projects that can improve the army’s cost-effectiveness without compromising service-readiness.
