LOGISTICS
Abstract
This activity supports Marine Corps Expeditionary Logistics which is the practical discipline and real world application of the deployment, sustainment, reconstitution, and re-deployment of forces engaged in expeditionary operations. Expeditionary Logistics replaces mass with assured knowledge and speed, is equally capable ashore or afloat in austere environments, and is fully scalable to meet uncertain requirements. Expeditionary Logistics logically divides into four pillars: efficient and responsive force sustainment, planning and directing logistics operations, logistics demand reduction, and fleet maintenance. These pillars are thoroughly integrated and perpetually related in execution. The FY 2017 to FY2018 decrease in the Logistics Thrust Activity is due to the completion of infrastructureless In-Transit Visibility (ITV) technologies to enable asset tagging, tracking, locating, and monitoring anywhere in the expeditionary supply chain, as well as the completion of multiple energy related projects to include storage and hybrid smart grid technologies.
