FORT SNELLING, Minn. - Key leaders of the 88th Regional Support Command and representatives of the commands they support joined together for a Strategic Planning Session conducted on Fort Snelling, Minn., May 13-14.
The session is held annually to ensure the 88th RSC continues to provide the best possible support to Army Reserve Soldiers, families and civilians within its 19-state area of responsibility.
In total, the 88th RSC is responsible for providing base operations support and multiple special services to more than 55,000 Army Reserve Soldiers, civilians and family members located in the northern U.S. from the Ohio River to the Pacific Coast.
On day one of the session, the 88th RSC staff reviewed and updated the command's strategic plan, conducted an internal analysis, and back-briefed the command team on current performance measures.
On day two, representatives from 88th RSC supported commands were briefed, allowing them a better understanding of the RSC’s roles and what it does on a daily basis to support them. This forum intentionally led to discussions and feedback from supported commands on how they could be better served.
Maj. Gen. Karen LeDoux, commanding general of the 88th RSC, said having representatives from customer units be a part of the 88th RSC’s strategic planning was absolutely necessary for mission success.
“Just because we think we’re doing the right things, doesn’t mean we’re doing the right things,” said LeDoux to the visiting command representatives, “and that’s why we’ve asked you to come here and be participants in our strategic planning.”
“Today is your opportunity to give us your feedback,” continued LeDoux. “Not only on how you think we’ve been doing, but help us refocus our efforts and look forward to the next year.”
Enabling unit readiness is the ultimate objective, explained Ledoux.
“The goal is for supported commands to walk away with a better understanding of what we do for the Army Reserve and hear from leaders in the region as we focus our efforts and resources,” said LeDoux. “We do this to enable readiness - because that is who we are - we are a readiness enabler.”
