Question 1: Which of the generic business processes did they seem to execute? The MCRC ostensibly executes the procurement process because of the wide range of activities involved in finding and acquiring potential candidates for enlistment.

Question 2: What organizational element was the "lead" for each one? According to Jordaan (2016), the generic procurement elements include:

1. the scope (what is required or needed)
2. time (when the potential applicant completes physical and enters pre-enlistment phase),
3. specification (applicant's eligibility and quality), and
4. terms (terms and conditions of enlistment contract).

Therefore, the "leads" are as follows:

• Scope - Headquarters Marine Corps, Manpower Management Branch. This lead is responsible for directing personnel action and implementing service plans and policies to staff and maintain the force (MARADMINS #126/14).

• Time - Military Entrance Processing Station, J1 Manpower and Force Management Branch (USMEPCOM, n.d.). This lead assigns timelines and requirements to all eight MCRC units.

• Specification - Each MCRC unit then establishes a matrix for the Recruiting Stations.

Question 3: Where there any challenges between the staff elements in supporting the lead? There is a large gap between meeting expectations and fulfilling requirements. A recruiting substation may receive assignments that do not reflect the demographics of the area.

Question 4: Who was responsible for the IT systems used in the above processes? Defense Information Systems agency (DISA) and U.S. Military Processing Command Integrated Resources System (USMIRS).
