Creating clarity for Gray Area Retirees: 75th Innovation Command seeks solutions for retirees during Innovation Boot Camp
Nic Meliones, Innovation Boot Camp instructor for the National Security Innovation Network, reviews the agenda for an Innovation Boot Camp conducted via Zoom July 26 to Aug. 4, 2022. Approximately 40 Soldiers from the 75th Innovation Command and U.S. Army Human Resources Command participated in this boot camp to answer the problem statement, "How can we improve U.S. Army Reserve Gray Retiree pay packets processing to ensure that retirees receive their retirement pay?" The accelerated timeline was intentionally designed to encourage collaboration between subject matter experts who directly deal with the problem as well as Soldiers, academics and entrepreneurs who have the education and experience to offer new perspective reinforced by in-depth analysis and feedback.
