Filling the Knowledge Gap for Joint Operational Logistics in Expeditionary Deployments

Abstract

Joint Force Commanders expects Joint Logistics Staff Officers (JLSOs) to be flexible and adaptable to the operational environment in expeditionary deployments. The JLSOs' success is constrained by the reliance of tribal knowledge during the Remain in Place/Transfer of Authority process. Education and training deficiency of JLSOs leads to inefficient and restricted productivity of the J4 Staff (Logistics Directorate) serving in military campaigns. This paper will address the critical need to implement a strong education and training program that will address joint logistics core competencies and the logistical challenges in expeditionary deployments based on the Geographical Combatant Commander's requirement.
