Joint Operational Logistics: Steps Toward Unity of Effort.

Abstract

Joint operational logistics must emphasize unity of effort to maximize combat power. Unity of effort is difficult to achieve within the current Service-oriented logistics framework. Joint doctrine already provides for a single command authority for logistics, but JFCs lack a modular, flexible organization for operational logistics. Recent operations have established ad hoc logistics command and control organizations that do not support Joint Vision 2010 or emphasize unity of effort. One solution is to integrate Service logistics modules and personnel into the existing Army's Theater Support Command (TSC). The resulting Joint TSC (JTSC) will provide the JFC a single commander for oversight of theater logistics and a better opportunity to achieve unity of effort.
