The Army Prepositioning Stocks Program: Are We There Yet?

Abstract

As the Army and the military transform to meet future challenges and missions, multiple changes are taking place to ensure that support across all spectrums of conflict is more effective and efficient leaving a reduced logistics footprint. We must develop and implement new joint doctrine based on a distribution-based logistics system that delivers combat power with uninterrupted momentum. The United States is a power projection nation, and rapid power projection alone provides deterrence. We must have enablers in Army Prepositioned Stocks or ensure the early arrival of the enablers to conduct effective operations. This Strategic Research Project examines the effectiveness of The Army Prepositioned Stocks Program as a combat multiplier and offers insights into possible future concepts as we transform the force.
