1. Project Goals
i) Develop a practical and functional uniform that enables the 80 Deployed Operations employees to better perform their duties in the environment in Afghanistan. ii) Implement uniform requirements to Deployed Operations employees.

2. Objectives
i) Ensure performance improvement i.e. no heat exhaustion and improve absenteeism, etc., as a result of new uniform implementation. ii) Increase and maintain employee morale and job satisfaction in the workplace.

3. Scope
i) Use employee feedback (through surveying) to understand key issues with current unforms and to determine baseline employee uniform expectations. ii) Assess environmental conditions (climate, temperature) to indicate uniform needs. iii) Assess workplace to indicate uniform needs. iv) Seek advice of subject experts concerning proper materials to be used for uniforms. These include Health and Safety standards and practices. v) Send out Requests for Proposal to several manufacturers, and obtain a conditional contract with one manufacturer. vi) Create and present prototype to management. vii) Implement a three-month product testing phase (September - December to ensure testing takes place under varying temperature/climate/environment). Group 1 wears current uniform, Group 2 wears new unform. viii) Assess trial results. ix) Adjustment phase to prototype unform. Arrange for final orders of uniforms x) Implement uniforms among all 80 Deployed Operations employees.
