Proactive Problem Solving

ATA’s experienced team takes proactive steps to keep our clients informed and advised. Some key examples of proactivity with impact include:

  • Updated military plans to account for major organizational changes impacting military advisory teams; ensured a tailored response to commanders’ requests for assistance.
  • Wrote military plans so commanders could give orders that makes sense now and will be achievable in the future. Updated language and is being incorporated into all future CWMD plans of the combatant commands and their components around the globe.
  • Produced a paper recommending prompt and proactive actions to prevent cross-border proliferation of stolen weapons of mass destruction by undermining profitability of taking, moving, selling, holding, or using those weapons, and increasing the incentives to return them promptly to government control.
  • Recognized a potential for an installed data system to atrophy over time and took initiative in collaboration with the government and relevant contractors to seek a solution. Prompt action preserved the immediate usefulness of the system, and created decision space for the government to consider long-term sustainment options.
