Host Nation Support. Management Information Requirements,

Abstract

The Department of Defense recently placed emphasis on increased logistic support from allied nations on whose territory U.S. forces are deployed, both in peace and wartime. This 'host nation support' includes both civil and military assistance to U.S. forces. The Office of the Secretary of Defense requires the capability to monitor the status of host nation support (HNS) negotiations and the progress toward meeting DoD goals. The objective of this task is to assist the Assistant Secretary of Defense (MRA&L) in developing that capability by determining the requirements for a HNS management information system. We conclude that a system recently developed by the Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff can support the HNS information needs of the ASD(MRA&L) and that a separate system is not required. We also conclude that the overall HNS program in the DoD can be strengthened by clarifying HNS policy and guidance. We recommend that a DoD directive on HNS be issued. To aid in the development of the directive, we define several HNS terms and functions and propose measures of HNS for use by the ASD(MRA&L). (Author)
