Guidelines for the Development and Implementation of a Logistic Resource. Annex to the Five Year Defense Program. Volume 1. The DoD LRA System
Abstract
This study provides guidelines that could be used by each of the military Services in providing Logistic Resource Annexes (LRA) to their Five Year Defense Programs (FYDP). The LRAs would be updated concurrent with each updating of the FYDPs and would show logistic resources by logistic function and, for some type of resources, by selected weapon system. The paper provides comprehensive coverage of the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps. Coverage is less comprehensive on the Army because of work on this topic by the General Research Corporation. Volume I establishes the framework for the research. It includes considerable material relating to the characteristics of logistic data and the ways in which financial manpower logistic data should be treated in the Service LRAs. This volume also contains the results of research on an LRA for the Army, and presents recommendations on an OSD-level LRA system. Volumes II, III, and IV cover the the Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps respectively. Each of these volumes discusses in depth the Service data systems that are applicable to the LRA and describes the Service LRA data base coverage. A data element reference guide is presented for each Service to show explicitly how the Service could support each line in the LRA and relevant data systems. Each of the volumes contains an appendix in which there is extensive discussion of how the particular Service could treat each category of logistic resources in satisfying the LRA requirement.
