Project, Program, and Portfolio Approach

Contracting, Logistics and Reverse Logistics are intertwined with the
project management discipline. Ultimately, successful strategy leads to
increased value and the difficult topics of ethics, culture, relationships and a
company’s ROI. The textbook would be accompanied by three workbooks:

Pacific Hurtgen: The U.S. Sixth Army's Ordeal in
Northern Luzon, 1945
Dr. Robert Young
When forced to flee the Philippines during the spring of 1942, American
General Douglas MacArthur famously remarked: "I shall return."
MacArthur did exactly what the Japanese and their commander,
General Yamashita, wanted. In a fruitless campaign, both tactically and
strategically, four US infantry divisions would be debilitated to satisfy
General MacArthur's quest that no Filipino land remained occupied by
the Japanese.
