White Paper 1982: Logistics Directions for the 1980's.

Abstract

The purpose of this White Paper is to give the broad direction in which logisticians must guide Army logistics during the remainder of the 1980's and into the 1990's. To provide such direction, a set of objectives is submitted as a reference to assist in carrying out the various responsibilities. These logistics objectives are derived from a number of sources, the principal being the Total Army Goals published by Secretary Marsh and General Meyer on 7 December 1981. It is these Goals that served as the foundation upon which this paper is built. Other major sources include guidance statements made by the Army leadership, testimony before the Congress, and a considerable number of audit and inspection reports. These sources provide valuable, and often untapped, indicators for the logistic community.
