Transforming Logistics in Support of the 21st Century Objective Force

Abstract

"Soldiers on Point for the Nation.. .Persuasive in Peace, Invincible in War." These are the words of the Army's Vision for the future. The Objective Force, as outlined in the Army's Transformation Campaign Plan, is the force that achieves this vision and meets the transformation endstate. As the Army, and the military overall, transforms to meet future challenges and missions, a revolution in logistics is taking place to ensure support across all spectrums of conflict, is more effective, efficient and results in a reduced logistics footprint. This paper examines the Army's transformation in logistics and offers insights into possible future concepts.
