Combined Force Operations, Past, Current and Future Expectations

Abstract

Everything has advantages and disadvantages to include combined force operations. Within the next few paragraphs we will discuss some of the major disadvantages to conducting combined force operations. Every participating nation is required to supply and sustain themselves in combined force operations. This can be a tremendous challenge when considering the forward deployed theater of operations. This means nations spend money on transportation, supply and sustainment operations indefinitely during sustained operations. According to the experts, this type of sustained operation would be better funded if the participants combined their supply requirements together. Nowadays, it looks like that problem is getting solved through joint ventures while forward deployed. The use of common items such as batteries, fuel, and ammunition alone are just a few examples.
