Logistics and Engineering Requirements for Humanitarian Assistance Operations.

Abstract

In this paper, we present the results of a study conducted by the Center for Naval Analyses (CNA) that identifies and analyzes alternative ways the Marines Corps might consider to improve its ability to conduct humanitarian assistance operations (HAOs). To achieve this objective, we are (1) examining requirements needed to conduct HAOs; (2) identifying potential in the Marines' conduct of HAOs to meet the requirements; and (3) assessing the cost of the changes in terms of organization, training and education, doctrine, equipment, and supplies. This study is cosponsored by the Marine Corps Combat Development Command (MCCDC) and I Marine Expeditionary Force (IMEF). Here we address logistics engineering-related requirements and alternatives. The paper is one in a series that documents military requirements and alternatives for HAOs.
