Doctrine Logistic Support of Joint Operations.

Abstract

To meet our Nations global responsibilities, our ability to move and sustain combat forces virtually anywhere in the world must be maintained. This requires efficiently integrating the unique logistic capabilities of all our Services. Joint doctrine is the underpinning that makes this happen and optimizes the use of limited resources, enhance interoperability, and fosters cooperation. Joint Pub 4-0 is the keystone document of the logistic support of joint operation series. It discusses principles planning considerations, and responsibilities for logistic operations. The principles provide herein serve as a guide to the combatant commander and planners when developing a theater logistic concept. Logistics is the foundation of our combat power. We must, therefore, continue to develop and refine joint doctrine that promotes the most efficient, effective us of all available assets. Adherence to that doctrine is the key to our success.
