Expeditionary Logistics
Abstract
This program element supports cost associated with the research and development of Marine Corps Systems Command policy, acquisition process modifications, and prototyping to support the USMC Additive Manufacturing (AM) Initiative. The USMC Additive Manufacturing Initiative is an initiative intended to give Marine units access to additive manufacturing techniques to allow them the opportunity to exercise innovation in the resolution of issues affecting unit combat readiness. This PE will support of the development of procedures to enable the approval and manufacturing of items requested from Marines. This involves the development of Marine Corps Policy, an approval process, engineering analysis and testing, establishment of facilities to produce prototype additive manufactured parts, and development of training to support the Marine Corps use of additive manufacturing. This initiative incorporates development of strategic partnerships with other DoN Systems Commands and field activities to develop DoN standards, processes, and other associated acquisition activities to support future use of additive manufacturing in DoN acquisition and readiness areas. The Next Generation Logistics (NexLog) project supports cost associated with the research and development, experimentation, and limited, rapid fielding of emerging logistics capabilities necessary to enable the Fleet Marine Forces to execute the Marine Corps Operating Concept and inform logistics policies. These emerging logistics capabilities include development of autonomous ground, surface, and sub-surface materiel distribution systems; development of operational and tactical, in-field digital fabrication capabilities; and, the development of sensor-driven logistics information technology. This element also supports development of strategic partnerships with DoN Systems Commands and field activities in order to leverage their capabilities and align DoN standards and processes, while furthering the use of additive manufacturing, and other emerging logistics technologies, to increase warfighter readiness, capability, survivability, and effectiveness.
