Abstract

The purpose of the project is to determine the correct changes to the organization for logistics command and control within a geographic combatant command and make recommendations for possible organizational realignments. This paper examines the current organization of joint logistics command, control, and execution for a geographic combatant command. The examination includes: (1) Review the logistics issues that make an evaluation of logistics command and control relevant, (2) Review the geographic combatant commanders authority and responsibilities in the area of logistics, (3) Examine the functions of the current organizations responsible for logistics command and control, including the combatant command J-4, the Deployment and Distribution Operations Center (DDOC), and Service Component logistics staffs, (4) Examine ongoing efforts within the joint logistics community to provide solutions to the logistics command and control requirements. Recommendations are provided to implement changes to the logistics command and control organizations within the combatant command.
