Transformational Logistics in Support of Sea Basing

Abstract

The Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) promulgated a broad transformational road map in "Power and Access... From the Sea". The road map presents Sea Basing as a new concept in staging, supporting, and reconstituting joint land forces from a sea base. Sea Basing will depend heavily on new, innovative approaches to logistics to both enable and support it. This paper reviews relevant cutting-edge logistics efforts (e.g., performance based logistics, material-in-transit tracking, forward positioning, just-in-time delivery, standardized COSAL, etc.) and presents necessary logistics transformations in order to realize the CNO's goal.
