Joint Contractor Logistics Support Doctrine: Ensuring Success on the 21st Century Battlefield
Abstract
This paper asserts that the U.S. military reliance on Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) has risen to the extent that, without it, U.S. forces may be in jeopardy of being unable to accomplish their assigned missions. To counter this threat, clear guidance and doctrine must be developed to define the parameters and the environment in which contractors can and must be employed in the Joint arena. Specific recommendations for doctrinal development are: contractors should augment, not replace, force structure/capabilities, contracts must address certain terms and conditions common to all services, and the establishment of a Joint CLS board chartered to manage, deconflict, and integrate contractor and CINC requirements.
