Synchronizing Sustainment Operations

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to analyze sustainment synchronization methodologies between Army of Excellence and Modular sustainment organizations. This paper examines relationships between Army of Excellence and Modular sustainment organizations within the Army's Service Component Command. The examination includes: (1) Historical review of the evolving logistics transformation architecture; (2) Review of evolving sustainment roles between modular division and logistics organizations; (3) Review of emerging doctrine that defines roles between logistics organizations and supported units; and (4) Review of current initiatives to synchronize logistics transformation efforts within an Army Service Component Command in a forward area of responsibility. Recommendations are provided to implement changes to the synchronization relationship between the transformed modular division and the supporting sustainment command.
