Logistics Transformation - Reducing the Logistics Footprint

Abstract

Logistics doctrine, methods, skills, force structure and procedures must be analyzed and potentially radically modified to reduce the Logistics Footprint. This paper will examine current logistics doctrine, method, and procedures, organizational relationships and infrastructure. The author examines how reduction of the Logistics Footprint will impact the direction of the current transformation, and the path to focused logistics as the transformation endstate. The reduction of the Logistics Footprint will be facilitated through a systems effort and review. Enablers such as mobility, real-time IT links, forward positioning and redistribution will be reviewed for value and applicability toward down sizing the Logistics Footprint.
