Edson, Assistant Chief of Staff G1, Marine Forces Reserve, speaks to senior administrators attending the Battalion Level Administration Management initiative at the 2016 Senior Administrator Symposium aboard Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Belle Chasse, La., Oct. 12-13, 2016. Edson spoke on the importance of ensuring all MARFORRES units are administratively ready across the board. The symposium utilized instruction and practical application to help senior administrative personnel understand how and why the implementation of the Battalion Level Administrative Management initiative will improve Reserve units’ ability to pass MCAAT inspections.
