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 five pillars: deployment support, force closure, sustainment, reconstitution/redeployment, and command and control. These pillars are thoroughly integrated and perpetually related in execution. The increase in the Logistics funding from FY 2013 to FY 2014 is due to expanded field demonstrations for the Marine Corps of renewable energy devices and deployable equipment. The FY 2014 to FY 2015 decrease in the Logistics Thrust Activity is due to a reduction in the scope and size of anti-fouling and non-fouling water purification components to enable enduring performance of small water purification systems.
