Developing a Capacity Assessment Framework for Marine Logistics Groups

Abstract

In 2006, Force Service Support Groups were redesignated as Marine Logistics Groups (MLGs). The MLGs provide general and direct logistics combat service support to U.S. Marine Corps units. However, many of the resulting structural changes led to uncertainty at both the operational and tactical levels concerning how to measure logistics capacity. The Operations Analysis Directorate (OAD) at Marine Corps Combat Development and Integration Command asked the RAND Corporation to develop a standardized method to determine MLG capacity to provide logistics support. This document reports on the initial development of a standard method.
