The Revolution in Military Logistics: Surviving the Budget Process.

Abstract

The Revolution in Military Logistics (RML) is a high priority for both the Army and its Logisticians. The RML is well organized and can meet the needs of the Army After Next (AAN), however we now face the most difficult part of any revolution the orchestration of its implementation and its funding. If the Army fails to reap the benefits of RML in the short term, it will not bode well for our ability to accomplish the programs and goals outlined for the AAN. In order to be successful RML must compete and survive the budgeting process. This is not an easy task, and the Army has traditionally had difficulty in disciplining itself to invest dollars today for the future. If the DOSLOG is to fulfill the vision of RML, he must be given the responsibility to program and budget for its enablers. failure to do so will result in a system that is not optimized and may not meet the expectations of the Army.
