SCMA
to follow new path
SCMA
Reorganised
In accordance with Army’s three-year cyclic Single Entitlement
Document (SED) Review Program, SCMA’s SED was reviewed in
September.
The
SED Review is the primary mechanism Army uses to implement force
structure change.
SEDs
are the basic building blocks from which Army produces capability
and unless SEDs are accurate, the ability of the Army to express
capability and provide units with appropriate levels of personnel
and equipment, is compromised.
The
review identified several areas within SCMA that were undermanned,
particularly within career management.
To
address these shortfalls the following new career manager positions
have been authorised and will be occupied from January next year:
-
WO1 RAINF to manage Special Forces.
-
WO1 RAEME to manage specialist aviation trades.
-
WO2 RAAPC to manage the pay trades.
-
WO2 RACMP to manage the MP trades
-
WO2 RACT to manage transport trades.
The
review also identified the following career manager positions
for upgrading:
The
structure of SCMA will change on December 6 with the separation
of Personnel Management Group into two discrete groups and the
creation of a lieutenant-colonel position to command the new group.
The
two groups are:
Phone
numbers will not change. The SCMA phone directory is available
on the Defweb at the SCMA home page, http://sorweb.sor.defence.gov.au/scma/Default.htm

Don’t appear on CO SCMA’s desk
this holiday season
My
most melancholy duty is the signing of soldiers’ and officers’
death certificates. Each certificate represents a life cut short
and a loss to the Army and to the individual’s family and
friends.
Many
of the certificates I sign result from death through vehicle accident.
Please be especially careful when travelling over the coming holiday
season – your loved ones and the Army need you.
Best
wishes for a safe and happy Christmas from all at SCMA.
