From a Learning Curve to a Straight Line

Abstract

In February 2009, the 628'" Aviation Support Battalion (628'" AS B) was called into active duty in support of operation Iraqi Freedom 09-11 (OIF 09-11). The mission of the ASB was to provide dedicated logistical support for the 28'h Combat Aviation Brigade (28'h CAB) through the full spectrum of operations. One of the sections in the ASB is the Support Operations Section (SPO) which provided centralized and automated command and control (C2), and planning for all support distribution management operations within the battalion. It also coordinated with the logistics operators in the areas supply, maintenance (air and ground), medical, mortuary affairs, property book and movement control for the support of all units assigned or attached to the CAB. This paper describes some of the events and lessons learned by the SPO of the 628'h ASB during the deployment.
