Army Transformation - Beyond the Technology Integrated Planning Spells Success
Abstract
The Army transformation process has centered on the introduction of new technologies to meet the needs of the war fighter. As such the Army logistics community has incorporated a Revolution in Military Logistics (RML) which is the introduction of new technologies to improve logistical sustainment to the war fighter. Although the advancement of technology is needed it is not the only answer to ensure logistical support is attained throughout a campaign. Army transformation and the RML must include the ability to integrate operational and logistical planning in order to synchronize the capabilities of new the technologies in logistics. Additionally it is the integration of these planning efforts that will ensure the right size force is available to accomplish the mission. Therefore a fully viable Army transformation must include the introduction of new processes and concepts that will integrate the efforts of both the operational and the logistical planner. Only then will Army transformation and a RML allow for more than the introduction of new technologies and thereby make a strategic difference for operations and logistics on the battlefield.
