Project Name:
Warrior Liability Experts Inc.Project Scope:
Project scope is to determine if the service member is at
fault for the injuries or illness. Prescribes policies and
procedures for investigating the circumstances of disease,
injury, or death of a soldier. It provides standards and
considerations used in determining line of duty (LD) status.
That would process the necessary documents for the Line of
Duty for soldiers
Project Purpose:
This regulation prescribes policies and procedures for
investigating the circumstances of disease, injury, or death of a
soldier. It provides standards and considerations used in
determining line of duty (LD) status.Project Objectives:
A LOD investigation is generally conducted whenever a soldier
acquires a disease incurs a significant injury or is injured under
unusual circumstances. There is a presumption that all diseases,
injuries or deaths occur "in the line of duty - not due to own
misconduct." A LOD investigation helps determine a soldier's

3. entitlement to pay and allowances, accrual of service and leave
time and, in some cases, disability retirement. A soldier
receives these benefits only if the final determination is "in line
of duty - not due to own misconduct."Project Success Criteria:
To determine the overall success of processing the line of
duty for the service members so that they can submit their
document through VA for medical claims, each soldiers are
assigned a Peblo that will help them gathered all documents that
are need to send to the PEB to determined there eligibilities and
it all depends if they come back and wants to appeal their
ratings they would need to go back to the doctor to get a clear
understanding about their medical conditions and submit a
LOD.Project High-Level Requirements:
The requirement for a Line of Duty would initiate first
through the Doctor that the service member would see and then
it would be forward to Patient Administration Division for the
clerk to process all documents that needs to be process. Once all
documentations have been signed and gather for the Commander
signature then the documents would be send up to the Line of
Duty Investigator to investigate whether the injury occurred
during duty or not. Final signature is the COL, if it’s informal,
then the CG it the investigation is formal.
Communications Plan:
The communication plan is to communicate through the service
members of the documents that would be needed to process a
line of duty, service members are instructed to bring any police
report, medical documentations that would support his injury or
involvement in a car accident and then DD Form 2173 is
initiated. All involved individual member that would assist
with the line of duty.
Quality Plan:
The plan for the line of duty is to make sure that all
documentation is completed within the time frame that is given
in AR-600-8-4. There is specific time frame that service
members must be given to provide document of the injury. I
would make sure that there is a tracking log of the individual

4. service member that have turned in the medical document and
track all documents that need to accompany the line of
duty.Stakeholders:
The stakeholder in this project would be I, doctors, and casualty
assistant personnel; because there are proper channel that these
documents must go through and when talking we are individual
social security numbers that are passed through hands and that
can become HIPPA violation.
A PERT chart is among one of the most useful tools that is used
in ensuring that there is a proper scheduling, organization, and
coordination of those tasks that are requires for a project. This
was a methodology which was developed in the United States
Navy in the middle of the twentieth century as a means of
ensuring the proper management of the submarine missile
system known as Polaris. It was during the same period that a
similar system, known as CPM was developed for use in the
private sector in matters concerning project management and it
has been an essential part of the same since then. A PERT chart
makes a representation of a project through a network diagram
that consists of numbered nodes that are represented either as
circles or rectangles (Icmeli, Erenguc & Zappe, 1993). These
illustrations work towards the representation of the various
events or milestones that have a direct effect on the depiction of
the tasks that are in the project. One of the main aspects of this
type of project representation is the fact that the direction of the
arrows within it displays the sequence of the tasks which are to
be carried out during the project.
The critical planning method, or CPM is one of the scheduling
tools that is used in the management of projects in the private
sector and it has come to be commonly used in the construction
and aerospace industries. It is normally used in the planning,
scheduling and coordination of the execution of the needed
tasks that enable the fulfillment of the requirements of a
particular project. It is normally because of the identification of
discrete work activities required to complete the project and the
relationship of those activities to one another that CPM

5. becomes a very useful tool (Galloway, 2006). This is mainly
because CPM scheduling allows for the determination of what
activities are critical to completing the project; those that must
be performed on their early start and finish dates to avoid any
delay to the project’s completion. It helps in the recognition of
those tasks which are not entirely critical to the project and this
allows for there to be a delay in their implementation while at
the same time working on those tasks which are most pertinent
for the project, hence fewer delays.
A Gantt chart is a tool which is normally put into use when
making an illustration of a project schedule, which include start
and finish dates of activities and a summary of the activities
which are required to make a project successful (Pankaja,
2005). The activities that are presented in a Gantt chart are
useful in the formation of what is usually called the work
breakdown structure of a specific project that is being
undertaken by an organization. These charts can be used as
excellent tools as a means of displaying the renewed schedule
status using actual complete shadings and vertical line
representing the actual date. It is a fact that Gantt charts are at
times prepared in a manner which shows precedence in the
activities and following activities and their relationships.
Conclusion:
All completed Line of Duty packets are turned in to the
Casualty Affairs Office for final processing. It will be reviewed
for completeness. Copies will be routed for placement in the
Soldiers IPERMS. Casualty Affairs will provide Patient
Administration a copy of all completed DA 2173. These
documents will be stored in our IPERMS system should the
service member or any official wanting the copies would be able
to get one.

6. Costs, Risks and Procurement
Costs:
The cost depends on the percentage that is given to the
members from VA for the injuries and what the military will be
allotted to them as well.
Risks:
The risk that is associated with the line of duty is the
injuries that service member would encounter during
deployment like loss of limb, mortality, mva or any injuries that
may occurred to a service member.
Procurement:
The requirement for this project is to acquired computer that is
functional and copy paper, and time that you will need so that
you can complete your LOD.
