Lessons Learned Concerning MC and G Area, Product, and Distribution Requirements in Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm
Abstract
During Operation Desert Storm, the Defense Mapping Agency provided all of the necessary mapping, charting, and geodetic products to all of the soldiers, airmen, sailors, and marines deployed to Desert Storm. Many lessons can be learned about related or reoccurring MC and G area and product requirement problems experienced in the initial deployment phase through the defensive phase. Lessons can also be learned from inter and intra-theater distribution problems experienced in the initial deployment phase through the offensive phase of operations. Problems included confusion over requirements and priorities of product needs and difficulties in obtaining dedicated transportation allocations for lift of MC and G materials. These problems could have been avoided if the appropriate staff and command actions had been taken in time to validate requirements.
