Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes operational logistics for land warfare to determine if there is a requirement for an echelon above corps joint logistics command. It will also determine if U.S. army command and control support organizations such as the Corps Support Command, Theater Army Area Command, or the conceptual Theater Support Command are suitable to support this command and control function. Additionally, the paper argues that the centralized planning and control function provided by a Joint Logistic Command is a primary step to focusing logistics. Operations since the enactment of the Goldwater-Nichols Act in 1986 have seen an increased use of a joint logistics command and control structure to focus the logistics effort of the theater and/or area of operation. The consolidation of Defense Logistics and Services agencies have increased the need for a consolidated logistics control node at the operational level to orchestrate strategic level support to the tactical level. This link creates a seamless logistics system. Historically, in all major conflicts the U.S. Military Services have operated as joint force; integration however, is usually only at the highest level. The current and future trend of joint operations is to integrate service capabilities to include logistics at the lower Joint Task Force (JTF) level. The paper concludes that the U.S. Military operates joint logistics for landbased operations primarily with the Army and in the future this trend should continue with increased service integration. However, joint logistics doctrine must be authoritative to drive the integration process.

Book excerpt: Our nation is engaged in a broad array of military operations that is driving significant changes in the way we train, fight, and execute missions - from humanitarian assistance to major combat. In turn, those changes require a fundamental revaluation of the way we deploy, support, and sustain those operations. There is a pressing need to develop a framework for joint logistics management at the operational level to enhance the synchronization and effectiveness of logistics support. This framework must be based on a set of imperatives and enablers that, when considered and properly established and used, offers the greatest possible freedom of action for the joint force commander (JFC) as well as our interagency and multinational partners. Military logistics support extends from the strategic level in the national industrial base to the tactical level, where "beans, bullets, and black oil" are delivered on time, at the right place, and in the right quantity. Operational-level logistics links strategic resources with tactical units, enabling force closure, sustainment, reconstitution, and redeployment of forces. This article highlights a set of joint logistics imperatives and enablers that would facilitate the integration of joint operational-level logistics management. It also presents several joint (operational-level) logistics management options and briefly covers Department of Defense (DOD) actions now under way to enhance joint logistics capabilities. We focus on the operational level because we believe this is where enhancements to joint logistics offer the greatest opportunity for the JFC; choosing the best management structure for a given mission is a critical component of the overall logistics effort. We have intentionally avoided use of the term theater because it suggests geographic boundaries that do not seem appropriate for modern logistics management.

Download or read book The Joint Logistics Operational Level of War and the Unified Command J4 written by and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current joint logistics doctrine espouses the necessity for detailed logistic planning, concurrent with operational planning, in order to promote unity of effort and prevent duplication of effort. The unified commander is authorized directive authority for logistics in order to insure economy of effort. The perception in the Joint Planning and Execution (JPBC) is that the Unified Command's 4 Logistics Directorate is in an advisory and monitoring role at the operational level, and that the Service component logistic commands can function in a harmonious role amongst themselves, with no directive authority, unless a critical situation arises that my hinder the Combatant Commanders mission. This perception has the components exercising coordination for logistics support in joint environment can only attain that momentum necessary if authoritative direction can be applied from the deployment to the employment of logistic forces. In this regard, there is a necessity for a focused unity of effort, directed towards integrating the Service logistic force capabilities and resource in order to support forces.

Book Synopsis Logistic Pillars at the Operational Level of War and the Role of the Joint Force Commander by :
Download or read book Logistic Pillars at the Operational Level of War and the Role of the Joint Force Commander written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Logistics influences every aspect of operational planning and execution. To a large extent, what is possible operationally depends on what is logistically supportable. Operational logistics provides the connection between the strategic and tactical ends of the logistic continuum. It is also critical to the massing and sustainment of combat power in a theater of war or theater of operations. Existing literature on logistics is typically focused on either broad strategic concepts or detailed tactical tasks. Since the services are responsible for the logistic support of their forces, the role of logistics at the operational level and the part played by the operational commander are not particularly clear. This paper identifies and discusses the three key logistic pillars of preparing the theater, organizing the force, and managing resources at the operational level of war. In doing so, it provides a basis for understanding the critical role played by the joint force commander in orchestrating the logistic support of his campaign or major operation.

Download or read book Logistics in Support of Multinational Operations written by U.s. Joint Force Command and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-07-28 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Logistic support during multinational operations differs from unilateral joint operations in that the participating nations represent different national and military objectives, cultures, and approaches to logistic support. This impacts how the US organizes, prepares, and executes logistic support during multinational operations. A significant challenge in multinational logistics (MNL) involves establishing effective command and control (C2) processes that are acceptable to all troop contributing nations. The joint logistics environment exists at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels of war. Operations are distributed and conducted rapidly and simultaneously across multiple operational areas within a single theater or across boundaries of more than one geographic combatant commander and can involve a variety of military, interagency, nongovernmental organizations, commercial, and multinational partners.
Book Synopsis Taking Charge of Joint Theater Logistics by : Thomas K. Gainey
Download or read book Taking Charge of Joint Theater Logistics written by Thomas K. Gainey and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This thesis explores how the Joint Force Commander best commands and controls the integration of Joint Logistics at the Theater level. Currently, there are two primary methods; through a Command Organization or through the J-4. This paper makes a compelling case for a Joint Theater Logistics Command. The primary focus is to examine the management of common user logistics at the theater level. This paper outlines the legal obligations of each of the Armed Services in providing logistical support to their forces during joint operations and reviews historical examples of logistical support in conflicts from WWII to present. Service and Joint doctrine is reviewed as the framework for current operations. An analysis of two current proposals for Joint Theater Logistics is presented and evaluated. A conclusion and recommendations are included to provide the supporting logic and direction on solving command and control for Joint Theater Logistics through the use of a Joint Force Support Component Command. Direction of Joint Theater Logistics has been managed in a variety of ways throughout American military history. Repeatedly, the American military has in time of crisis, been slow to respond logistically to major or minor conflict and always put together an ad hoc structure to manage Theater level logistics. These ad hoc structures have ultimately successfully sustained US forces but often at a significant cost in lives while we slowly responded with a logistical build up and put together a structure to direct Joint Theater Logistics. The common element to success for each of these logistics management structures was that they were under the directive authority of the Combatant Commander. As we look to the future, however, the rapid tempo of operations and changing nature of the types of warfare we now face will not allow us the luxury of time to adapt our logistics structure in the future. Instead, soldiers' lives depend on getting command and control structure for logistics right the first time out onto the battlefield. While the recommendations primarily address common user logistics and do not address Service unique logistics requirements, the recommendations are the first step to addressing the total challenges in command and control of Joint Logistics for the future force."--Abstract

Download or read book Distribution Operations written by U.s. Joint Force Command and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-07-28 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Distribution includes the ability to plan and execute the movement of forces for deployment and redeployment as well as sustainment and retrograde. It is the operational process of synchronizing all elements of the logistic system to deliver the right things to the right place at the right time to support the joint force commander. The Secretary of Defense directed joint deployment and distribution enterprise (JDDE) community of interest (COI) connects Service, Department of Defense (DOD), and other government agency movements under the end-to-end distribution coordinating authority exercised by Commander, United States Transportation Command (CDRUSTRANSCOM) as the distribution process owner (DPO). The joint logistics enterprise (JLEnt) is a multitiered matrix of key global logistics providers cooperatively engaged or structured to achieve a common purpose without jeopardizing the integrity of their own organizational missions and goals. The JLEnt describes an approach to working across organizational boundaries to generate improved levels of logistics support and core logistics functions, such as supply, maintenance operations, deployment and distribution, health services, engineering, logistic services, and operational contract support.

Book Synopsis The Relevance and Future of Joint Logistics Over The Shore (JLOTS) Operations by : Rhonda L. Fisher
Download or read book The Relevance and Future of Joint Logistics Over The Shore (JLOTS) Operations written by Rhonda L. Fisher and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "While the United States military is unmatched in its ability to project forces anywhere in the world, this advantage is only enjoyed because of reliance on strategic airlift and sealift combined with world-class port and airfield infrastructure. As an option, Joint Logistics over the Shore (JLOTS) operations enable strategic ship offload through inadequate or damaged ports, or over a bare beach. To ensure this option, the Department of Defense (DoD) must invest in a common, integrated approach to ensure a capability that is sufficient and integrated across the Joint Force. History has shown the advantage of projecting forces onto the shores of the enemy. However, periods between conflicts have often resulted in decreased budgets and less emphasis on capabilities such as amphibious operations and JLOTS. To continue to provide this flexible logistics option, both the Services and the joint community must emphasize its importance through continued investment and increased joint collaboration. A comprehensive study to determine concepts, capabilities, and requirements for JLOTS to support future Joint force structures will ensure an accurate starting point for assessing JLOTS. Doctrine must reflect the importance of JLOTS to emerging concepts such as seabasing to ensure seamless transition from one method of logistics delivery to another. continued and expanded training opportunities will increase the breadth of JLOTS experience across all the Services. The platforms and capabilities existing today for JLOTS must continue to receive required funding to ensure availability when needed for the next contingency. Finally, the joint community must explore all opportunities to enhance JLOTS capability, whether commercial or emerging technology, to ensure viable capability a solder platforms and capability reach their economical useful life."--Abstract.

This book was released on 2012-11-16 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revised edition of Joint Publication 4-0, Joint Logistics, is the keystone document of the joint logistics series and provides the doctrinal framework which describes how logistics is delivered to support joint operations across the range of military operations. Joint logistics enables all joint operations and represents a significant portion of our total efforts and resources. The overarching ideas and principles contained in this publication provide a common perspective from which to plan, execute and control joint logistics operations in cooperation with our multinational partners and other United States Government agencies. Recent operations have placed unprecedented requirements on joint logisticians operating in the most difficult environments. While support to the joint force has been nothing short of exceptional, the future operating environment will likely present joint logisticians with an increasingly complex set of challenges. The United States will face diverse challenges in an operating environment that will be more complex, more interconnected, more dynamic, and likely more volatile than ever before. Historically, the United States has derived its military superiority from a remarkable ability to translate technological innovation, industrial capacity and a robust logistical architecture into effective battlefield advantages. Our support to the warfighter has been displayed on battlefields across the globe for decades, and has been studied by our friends and potential adversaries alike. This exceptional logistical capability represents a potent force multiplier for our Nation. The current and future environments present tremendous challenges for the joint force logistician. We have made great progress in recent years, but we must continue to develop joint logistics doctrine to optimize joint military, interagency and multinational capabilities. While the operating environment constantly changes, the outcome the joint force commander expects will not. The joint force commander expects joint logistics to give him sustained logistic readiness which will provide freedom of action to effectively execute operations in support of national objectives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relative combat power that military forces can generate against an adversary is constrained by a nation's capability to plan for, gain access to, and deliver forces and materiel to required points of application. The joint logistics enterprise (JLEnt) projects and sustains a logistically ready joint force by leveraging Department of Defense (DOD), interagency, nongovernmental agencies, multinational, and industrial resources. The identification of established coordination frameworks, agreements, and other connections creates an efficient and effective logistic network to support the mission. Operations are distributed and conducted rapidly and simultaneously across multiple joint operations areas (JOAs), within a single theater, or across boundaries of more than one geographic combatant commander (GCC). These operations can involve a variety of military forces, other governmental organizations, and multinational forces. The joint logistics environment is the sum of conditions and circumstances that affect logistics.
