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 FY 2011 to FY2012 funding increase results from operational demands to complete development of Marine Corps backpacks designed to minimize injurious peak oscillatory skeletal loading and generate electric power while walking during combat missions. The FY 2012 to FY2013 funding decrease the completion of the high priority development of backpacks designed to minimize injurious peak oscillatory skeletal loading and generate electric power while walking.
