  2. War as a Chaos Generator Abstract War is not only hell, its also a very efficient chaos generator. Systems that are well thought out and in place for many years begin to break down and fail to operate as expected and required. Come to the March INCOSE meeting and see Dave Muller, from the Army's Research and Development Lab, give a guided tour through an Army material processing point in Kuwait. Learn how it is that things just seem to go wrong no matter how much we think we have them under control. Biography After serving in the Marine Corps Mr. Dave Muller entered the civil service as an employee of Rock Island Arsenal. For the last 28 years he has worked on many military systems and projects. During this period he earned an Associates in Technology Degree from Blackhawk College, in Moline, IL and was introduced to the Society of Manufacturing Engineers as a student. He then progressed through that organization until he was the local Chapter President in 1988 and is now a permanent member of the Senior Board of Directors. Dave is the resident expert on the arcane system of Configuration Management used by the Department of Defense. He is also the engineering product expert on several large mobile maintenance systems used by the field army. In 2004, Dave volunteered to go to Kuwait and work in the Army’s materiel processing facility at Camp Arafjan where he spent 4 months sorting through metal parts, weapons, vehicles, scorpions, spiders, snakes, etc. that had become lost in transit. He and the members of his team identified and rerouted millions of dollars worth of military equipment that would otherwise never have made it to the military units that needed it. When not burdened with his duties, he enjoys fishing and restoring his 1965 Oldsmobile convertible.
