Coalition Logistics - The Multinational Force and Observers Model
Abstract
This Group Study Project was conducted under the aegis of the Department of Command, Leadership and Management, USAWC. The general methodology of the study was to conduct a comparative analysis of initial plans for the logistics concept to support the Multinational Force and Observers and initial logistics operations in March 1982, with current logistics policies and operations. In this process, it was the objective of the group to provide, for the first time, a written record of initial logistics plans and operations in support of the MFO, to emphasize the unique challenges of logistics support for multinational or coalition forces, and to develop principles for coalition logistics, as derived from lessons learned in the comparative analysis process. The authors of the study present information based on their experiences in development of the MFO logistics concept while assigned duties as planners and operators during the formative stages of the peacekeeping force. Comparisons of initial plans with current operations are based on a one-week visit to MFO in March, 1986, almost exactly four years after the force deployed to the Sinai.
