Joint Logistics Command and the Army After Next.

Abstract

Changes in technology will drive changes in military organization, doctrine, and methods of employment. These changes will also result in profound changes in the National Military Strategy. In the area of logistics, support to deployed forces will become increasingly joint in nature, due to pressures to exploit emerging business practice efficiencies, and to save dollars. The Army, due to its existing joint support responsibilities, will be tasked to take the lead in organizing and operating a "Joint Theater Logistics Command", which will integrate logistics for joint force commanders in active theaters of operations. This doctrinal and organizational shift will evolve in concert with the Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) that is shaping the Army After Next (AAN).
