Logistics Support for Deployed Military Forces by Matthew Goldberg,J. Michael Gilmore Pdf

The U. S. Army uses a mix of uniformed mil. personnel, fed. civilian employees, & contractors to support its deployed combat forces. Over the past 3 years, more than $15 billion of logistics support (incl. such services as base-camp construction, food, fuel, housing, & supplies) has been provided to the Army in Iraq, Afghanistan, & elsewhere in SW Asia under contract. This study evaluates alternative mixes of mil. personnel, fed. civilians, & contractors that could support the Army's deployed combat forces. It analyzes 4 options that would vary the mix among the 3 labor categories, affecting the provision of logistics support as well as the maint. of weapon systems. Evaluates the 4 options on the basis of their cost, flexibility, & legal considerations. Tables.

Force Multiplying Technologies for Logistics Support to Military Operations by National Research Council,Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences,Board on Army Science and Technology,Committee on Force Multiplying Technologies for Logistics Support to Military Operations Pdf

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.

The Process of Military Distribution Management by James H. Henderson Pdf

This book is a guide for Logistician's (military or civilian) in the execution of Movement Control and Distribution Management. - Provides examples of procedures and guidance utilized by our armed forces operating in Iraq to date, as well as being reviewed as emerging doctrine for the future. - Presents information for staff management that incorporates manual and automated procedures to monitor and track movement and commodities on today's modern battlefields. - Provides a process to utilize data from different automation systems, which do not talk to one another, as well as incorporates manual procedures to develop a system to monitor and track movement and commodities on today's modern battlefields. By doing this, we have provided the commander with a focused staff battle rhythm that works. Due to the Army Transformation and Spiral Development, there is a lack of documentation on just how to interpret and implement the new concepts and automation applications, and synchronize their usage and development. Many of the ideas and process in this book have not advanced beyond the conjectural level. The work covered is an initial effort to make operational these new ideas and procedures and provide them as training in a classroom and wartime environment. The uniqueness of the logistical mission and the technology of these services, this book may be guided towards a rather select audience. But due to the tactics and methods being used by our enemies in the field, it is important to understand that at all levels, the ability to have visibility and command and control of movement within our battle space is essential.

Contracted Logistics Support in Operational Environments by John T. Gutierrez Pdf

Since the birth of the republic, the United States has relied on contractors on the battlefield to meet the shortfalls of the military's logistical system. The use of contractors has proven to be an integral part of the U.S. Armed Forces' warfighting capability. With the demise of the Soviet Union, the world has dynamically changed. No longer is the world in a bipolar power struggle over political ideologies. The post-Cold War environment has changed the geopolitical landscape and an environment now exists in which many Governments are trying to establish themselves as regional powers. As a result, the United States has undergone a radical change in its force structure and doctrine. America's Armed Forces are now deployed in greater frequency and length, than at the height of the Cold War. As a result of this phenomenon and other related factors, the U.S. Military is now more reliant than ever on Contracted Logistics Support. A series of legal issues accompany the use of contractors in operational environments. This thesis analyzes the primary legal issues associated with using Contracted Logistics Support in contingency and/or combat operations. These legal issues are: 1) The U.S. Military does not possess the capability or authority to discipline contractors; 2) The U. S. Military cannot command and control contractors in the same way that it commands and controls military units and military personnel; 3) Commanders must ensure that contractors maintain their noncombatant status; and 4) Commanders must determine core capabilities versus those functions that can be outsourced, as well as, consider the risk of contractor non-performance. Each of these factors affects the commander's decision to use Contracted Logistics Support based on the operational environment. Therefore, this thesis will also analyze the decision- making process of determining the use of Contracted Logistics Support using the Recognition-Primed Decision Model.

Military Logistics Made Easy by James H. Henderson (LTC (Ret.)) Pdf

You already know that logistics is hard, it should not be, but it just is. The key components to supply and movement consist of receive, store, issue, and move. It should be that simple. Bottom line: it just is not that simple. There are too many moveable parts where the synergy of the operation could provide a scenario where the combined requirements needed to sustain a theater are greater than the sum of their individual effects or capabilities. . This book outlines some of these logistical components and their doctrinal relationship to the operation, as well as provides some new ideas. . The chapters are formatted in a fashion that offer the reader the doctrinal concept that the operation or function is based on, and then presents new theories on how to better execute the logistical function or capability as it relates to the operation. . The goal is to discuss those hard logistical topics and their conception to improve the general knowledge and understanding on "why it happens," and "how we can improve the outcome."

Private Contractors and the Reconstruction of Iraq by Christopher Kinsey Pdf

Private Contractors and the Reconstruction of Iraq examines the controversial role of military contractors in the reconstruction of Iraq. When 'Operation Iraqi Freedom' was launched in March 2003, few, if any, of the Coalition's political leaders could have envisaged that within a few months the number of private contractors engaged to keep the troops supplied would exceed their actual combat strength. This alternative 'army' was not only to become the largest assemblage of contractors in living memory to accompany a military force into a war zone, but was also responsible for a fundamental transformation of how military logistics were delivered. This book explains how and why the US and UK governments became so dependent upon military contractors during the war in Iraq. It also examines the ramifications this new dependency will have on future military operations, as the conflict in Iraq has shown that private contractors are now indispensable to the attainment of both the military and political objectives of war. Finally, the book discusses what advantages and disadvantages these companies have brought to the reconstruction of Iraq, and what lessons need to be learned from this experience. This book will be of great interest to students of military and strategic studies, Middle Eastern politics and international security, and as well as policymakers and military professionals. Christopher Kinsey is a lecturer in international security at King's College London, Defence Studies Department, at the Joint Services Command and Staff College, Shrivenham. His previous publications include Corporate Soldiers and International Security: The Rise of Private Military Companies (Routledge: 2006)

Operational Logistics by Moshe Kress Pdf

Operational Logistics: The Art and Science of Sustaining Military Operations explores military logistics in terms of the theoretical foundations of operational logistics (OpLog) and its applications. The theoretical foundations are examined with regard to two dimensions. First, the artistic or qualitative aspects of contemporary logistics are looked at in the context of the operational level of war. These OpLog aspects include principles, imperatives and tenets, which are stated and analyzed. The second dimension relates to the scientific aspects of logistics. It is manifested by a formal network model that represents the structural and operational features of an OpLog system. Hence the book examines both artistic and scientific dimensions of military logistics and integrates the respective qualitative and quantitative aspects into a unified and definitive presentation of operational logistics. Chapter 1 presents a general introduction to military logistics. Chapter 2 discusses the general structure and characteristics of logistics and describes its three levels - strategic, operational and tactical. Chapter 3 focuses on Operational Logistics (OpLog). Chapter 4 deals with the logistics planning process. Chapter 5 addresses the issue of logistics information. Chapter 6 deals with forecasting logistics demands. Chapter 7 introduces the first version of the logistics network model. Chapter 8 addresses an important property of an OpLog system - Flexibility. Chapter 9 discusses two major (and dual) issues in OpLog practice: force accumulation and medical treatment and evacuation. Chapter 10 presents an inter-temporal network optimization model that is designed to determine deployment and employment of the support chain in an OpLog system.
