Operationa1 Logistics 2010.

Abstract

This paper examines DoD's post Cold War search for a new direction, particularly in the area of logistics. It addresses the need for change and uses Joint Vision 2010 and Focused Logistics as the start point to describe how military logistics might look in 2010. Although changes are occurring at all levels of logistics (strategic, operational, and tactical), some of the most crucial changes are occurring at the operational level. For this reason, a detailed examination is made of the who, what, where, and how of operational logistics with a focus on where DoD and the services are headed. Although many initiatives are currently underway which will transform military logistics, this paper attempts to tie the many emerging concepts and doctrine together under an overarching concept which clearly defines the role of each level of logistics and explains their interrelationship.
