Transformation - Revolution in Military Logistics

Abstract

The CSA has stated "the transformation objective is to field a force that is strategically responsive and dominant every point on the spectrum of operations." To support this vision, Army logistics requires a quantum leap in strategic responsiveness. This change is called "Revolution in Military Logistics," to know what the customer, the Warfighter, needs before he requests it. This study examines proposed improvements in automation, communications, and business practices; reshaping command and control relationships; and development of distribution technologies that will facilitate rapid throughput and follow-on sustainment to support the CSA's vision. This study evaluates all components of RML and discusses the strategies that should be adopted by the logistics community as part of the Army's Revolution in Military Logistics.
