CHALLENGE OR QUESTION - OK, Question it is

Issue: "Why did the chicken cross the road?"

TRADOC: The purpose is to familiarize the chicken with road-crossing
procedures. Road-crossing should be performed only between the hours of
sunset and sunrise. Solo chickens must have at least three miles of visibility
and a safety observer.

Special Forces Command: The chicken crossed at a 90 degree angle to avoid
prolonged exposure to a line of communication. To achieve maximum surprise,
the chicken should have performed this maneuver at night using NVGs,
preferably near a road bend in a valley.

Army Personnel Command: Due to the needs of the Army, the chicken was
involuntarily reassigned to the other side of the road. This will be a
3-year controlled tour and we promise to give the chicken a good-deal
assignment afterwards. Every chicken will be required to do one
road-crossing during its career, and this will not affect its
opportunities for future promotion.

Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA): Despite what you see on CNN, I can neither
confirm nor deny any fowl performing acts of transit. Questions? Please see
the SSO.

Army Foreign Technology Center: This event will need confirmation; we need to
repeat it using varied chicken breeds, road types, and weather conditions to
confirm whether it can actually happen within the parameters specified for
chickens and the remote possibility that they might cross thruways designated
by some as 'roads.'

FT Rucker: The chicken should log this as a GCC sortie only if
road-crossing
qualified. The crossing updates the chicken's 60-day road-crossing
currency only if performed on a Monday or Thursday or during a full moon.
Instructor chickens may update currency any time they observe another chicken
cross the road.

FORSCOM: The purpose is not important. What is important is that the chicken
remained under the OPCON of USCINCTRANS and did not CHOP to the theater on the
other side of the road. Without CHOPing the chicken was able to achieve
a seamless road-crossing with near perfect, real-time in-transit
visibility.

Theater Air Control Center (TACC): We need the road-crossing time and
the time the chicken becomes available for another crossing.

COMMAND POST: What chicken?

TOWER: The chicken was instructed to hold short of the road. This
road-incursion incident was reported in a Hazardous Chicken
Road-Crossing
Report (HCRCR). Please re-emphasize that chickens are required to read
back all hold short instructions.

ARMY Materiel Command (AMC): Recent changes in technology, coupled with
today's multipolar strategic environment, have created new challenges in the
chicken's ability to cross the road. The chicken was also faced with
significant challenges to create and develop core competencies required for
this new environment. AMC's Chicken Systems Program Office (CSPO), in a
partnering relationship with the client, helped the chicken by rethinking its
physical distribution strategy and implementation processes. Using the Poultry
Integration Model (PIM) CSPO helped the chicken use its skills, methodologies,
knowledge capital and experiences to align the chicken's people, processes and
technology in support of its overall strategy within a
Program Management framework. The CSPO convened a diverse cross-spectrum
of road analysts and retired chickens along with MITRE consultants with deep
skills in the transportation industry to engage in a two-day itinerary
of meetings in order to leverage their personal knowledge and capital, both
tacit and explicit, and to enable them to synergize with each other in order
to achieve the implicit goals of delivering and successfully architecting
and implementing an enterprise-wide value framework across the continuum
of
poultry cross-median processes. The meeting was held in a park-like
setting

Pray for me!

(I still understand what was written.)

Bye for now,
