National Guard Logistics (NGLOG) Study
Abstract
The National Guard Bureau (NGB) has been unable to accurately determine equipment distribution/redistribution requirements to fill Army National Guard (ARNG) units to required readiness levels in accordance with Army-approved force structure guidance. The NGLOG Study analyzed deficiencies in the current NGB equipment distribution/redistribution process and identified corrections/changes to improve the ability of the ARNG to accomplish equipment distribution objectives. It was found that deficiencies in electronic communication throughout the NGB divisions have inhibited mission accomplishment. The automated system for documentation and dissemination is inadequate to support equipment requirements analysis and redistribution. A lack of central computer data base accessible to all divisions has resulted in increased workload and diminished the accuracy of decision making. The study identified enhancements to the existing Equipment Readiness Process, which will reduce the manual efforts in the equipment distribution/redistribution process. Suggested corrective actions to other identified deficiencies in the NGB equipment allocation process were presented in the study.
