Sense and Respond Logistics Now
Abstract
The importance of logistics has been demonstrated throughout modern warfare and is even more critical today with the United States Marine Corps future vision of highly maneuverable, flexible, and decentralized operations. Modernizing Marine Corps logistics with the Sense and Respond Logistics (S&RL) approach is a vehicle for logistics success in current and future operations. This modernization approach must be accomplished today to ensure logistics shortfalls from Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) I and II are corrected, thus enhancing mission success for Marines in OIF III. The Marine Corps must be able to effectively and efficiently operate in a multidimensional joint environment. Further enhancing Marine Corps logistics with the United States Navy will allow strengthened service capabilities through integrated logistics. With the S&RL approach to modernizing Marine Corps logistics, the full implementation of Global Combat Support System-Marine Corps (GCSS-MC) and Marine Corps Logistics Command and Control (Log C2), Marines can deploy with information technology (IT) and process tools to fill gaps for supported and supporting units. In today's joint environment, urgent modernization of Marine Corps logistics with Sense and Respond Logistics is the key to correcting the current obsolete and redundant logistics processes and systems.
