Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual establishes the doctrinal framework for the Army prepositioned stocks (APS) program. It describes the missions, duties, and responsibilities of all parties involved in moving APS to an operational area and handing it off to designated Army units. This manual supersedes Field Manual (FM) 100-17-1 and FM 100-17- 2. The changing world environment has led to significant changes in how the Army structures its forces. No single solution will succeed when confronting an adaptive adversary. The Army must retain a wide range of capabilities while significantly improving its agility and versatility. Building a joint and expeditionary Army will require versatile forces that can execute smaller, shorter duration operations without degrading its traditional role in a major combat operation. At the core of this philosophy is having the ability to rapidly project predominately continental United States (CONUS)-based forces to an area of operations (AO), requiring the involvement of numerous military Services, agencies, departments, and organizations. Its credibility depends on the capability to deploy, in a timely manner, an appropriate military force capable of accomplishing the mission. The APS program is a cornerstone of the Army's ability to rapidly project power. The Army has dedicated significant priorities and resources to ensure the readiness and availability of APS. APS has become a significant deterrent for potential enemies in recent contingencies. These stocks-identified as APS-1 (CONUS), APS-2 (Europe), APS-3 (Afloat), APS-4 (Northeast Asia), and APS-5 (Southwest Asia)-are available to support all combatant commanders' (CCDR) missions, not only in contingencies, but also for major exercises.

Download or read book Operational Considerations for Employing Army Pre-Positioned Afloat (APA). written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper considers the key, time-sensitive operational decisions that the supported commander must make early in the planning phase of APA operations. The supported commander must determine the APA force module to employ, designate the theater of operations, and establish the structure for the operational functions of C2, protection, and logistics. These key decisions represent the decisive points that facilitate successful APA employment. Operation Vigilant Warrior (OVW) is used to facilitate an assessment of the importance of these operational decision. As our most recent operational experience in deploying APA assets under crises conditions, OVW provides a superb example of the impact that these critical decisions have on mission success.

Download or read book Army Pre-Positioned Stocks (APS) Ready for Action written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our expeditionary Army is designed to move fast and hit hard. To speed our forces to the fight, the Army Sustainment Command (ASC) maintains combat-ready equipment and materiel, strategically prepositioned around the world and ready for issue to Soldiers at a moment's notice. Theory was put to the test in 2003 when APS were issued to troops in Iraq. Operation Iraqi Freedom is the first war in which frontline troops were equipped largely by APS. Troops stationed in CONUS were flown to Southwest Asia (SWA) and matched up with forward-based APS equipment. The APS program's primary mission is to reduce the initial amount of strategic lift required to support a predominately CONUS-based force projection Army and to sustain Soldiers until traditional lines of communication are established. To meet the mission, stocks are forward-positioned in six countries and afloat aboard ships. Working through its global network of Army Field Support Brigades (AFSBs) and battalions, the ASC stores, maintains, issues, and resets APS equipment. AFSBs coordinate the reception and issue of APS units and secondary items during the theater opening phase. AFSBs also perform repairs and modification work orders on equipment in theater as required. The Army's Global Pre-positioning Strategy requires that simultaneous support be provided to more than one contingency in more than one theater. Expert planning and management of the four categories of APS is called for to meet this need. These categories are prepositioned unit sets, operational project (OPRJ) stocks, Army War Reserve Sustainment (AWRS) stocks, and war reserve stocks for allies (WRSA).

Download or read book Force Multiplying Technologies for Logistics Support to Military Operations written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mission of the United States Army is to fight and win our nation's wars by providing prompt, sustained land dominance across the full range of military operations and spectrum of conflict in support of combatant commanders. Accomplishing this mission rests on the ability of the Army to equip and move its forces to the battle and sustain them while they are engaged. Logistics provides the backbone for Army combat operations. Without fuel, ammunition, rations, and other supplies, the Army would grind to a halt. The U.S. military must be prepared to fight anywhere on the globe and, in an era of coalition warfare, to logistically support its allies. While aircraft can move large amounts of supplies, the vast majority must be carried on ocean going vessels and unloaded at ports that may be at a great distance from the battlefield. As the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have shown, the costs of convoying vast quantities of supplies is tallied not only in economic terms but also in terms of lives lost in the movement of the materiel. As the ability of potential enemies to interdict movement to the battlefield and interdict movements in the battlespace increases, the challenge of logistics grows even larger. No matter how the nature of battle develops, logistics will remain a key factor. Force Multiplying Technologies for Logistics Support to Military Operations explores Army logistics in a global, complex environment that includes the increasing use of antiaccess and area-denial tactics and technologies by potential adversaries. This report describes new technologies and systems that would reduce the demand for logistics and meet the demand at the point of need, make maintenance more efficient, improve inter- and intratheater mobility, and improve near-real-time, in-transit visibility. Force Multiplying Technologies also explores options for the Army to operate with the other services and improve its support of Special Operations Forces. This report provides a logistics-centric research and development investment strategy and illustrative examples of how improved logistics could look in the future.

Download or read book The Afloat Prepositioning Program: Do Service Mission Differences Preclude Total Jointness? written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Success in regional and major theater wars hinges on the ability to rapidly deploy and employ sufficient military power to overwhelm any adversary. Central to the U.S. military's ability to deploy forces is the collection of equipment, material and munitions prepositioned aboard ships throughout the world. As the leadership seeks opportunities to merge systems and resources under the guise of jointness, commonalities in missions and cargoes of the Afloat Prepositioning Force (APF) make it a prime target for integration. Ranging from tanks and trucks to food and fuel, the prepositioning load lists provide a flexible range of deterrent and combat options to the Combatant Commander. While similar items are prepositioned by all of the services, there is enough difference in quantity or mission to bar centralized control. Removing critical items such as food and fuel from the prepositioning kits effectively obliterates the stand-alone nature of these equipment sets. Certain management functions (e.g. stock rotation, equipment and ship maintenance, and weapons system upgrades) which are common to all portions of the APF have also been targeted for joint control. The fiscal savings of these efforts would be far outweighed by the costs in security and clear lines of command and control.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Defense Authorization Act for FY 94 requires the U.S. Army to establish a prepositioned maintenance facility in Charleston, South Carolina. The authorization also prohibits the closure of the U.S. Marine Corps afloat prepositioned maintenance facility in Jacksonville, Florida. Congress and DOD continue to search for innovative ways to reduce duplication within the Defense Department. The operating costs for two facilities are over $135 million dollars annually. DOD's budget will not get any larger. DOD continues to seek ways to combine similar functions throughout the Services. Should the Army and Marines establish a joint afloat prepositioned maintenance facility to facilitate efficiencies and economies?

Book excerpt: Without oil, no engine can run. "Movement" is the oil that enables America's military forces to sustain an operation, and nothing happens until something moves! As America's military priorities are reordered, the ability to move quickly, sustain forces anywhere in the world, and pre-position equipment and materiel near likely areas of crisis is more important than ever. Because of the apparent ease of movement during Desert Shield and Desert Storm, however, decision makers may be prone to misinterpret the lessons of the Gulf War and fail to address movement capabilities properly for the future. A good example is a recent Congressional decision to divert funds from slated improvements to the Army's afloat pre-positioning capability to the building of an amphibious assault ship. The capacity to foster global stability and defend our national interests depends upon correct long-range planning for transport. Logistics, especially mobility, has long been a bill payer for combat equipment, so perhaps a reappraisal is in order. Lessons from the Gulf War can help reshape America's defense transportation system for the post-Cold War era. Commitment to a balanced and unified mobility strategy should provide the most cost-effective, rapidly deployable, and sustainable combat capability. Regional focus, particularly in a multiple-conflict scenario, and reduced forward presence will significantly increase America's reliance on movement in the future. Careful restructuring of military movement capabilities will lessen the risks of distance and time in an unstable world and contribute to the economic well-being of the nation. To do less might invite confrontation with adversaries willing to test the substance and purpose of U.S. reach.
