Swarming Logistics: The Enabling Concept for Expeditionary Advanced Basing Operations

Abstract

In order to support swarming tactics in the Expeditionary Advanced Basing Operations (EABO) scheme of maneuver, the USMC and joint partners should adopt a complementary swarming logistics concept, featuring non-linear distribution ,forward production, additive manufacturing, and asset prepositioning. When fully realized in a single autonomous forward production concept, swarming logistics provides a unique capability in producing on-demand weapons system sustainment at the time and place of need, without reliance on lines of logistic support, while providing opportunities to evolve capabilities faster than the adversary.
