Reorganization of Marine Corps Aviation Associated Logistics

Abstract

Precision Logistics is the Commandant of the Marine Corps' vision for supporting the Marine Corps of the 21st Century. To realize this vision Marine Corps logistics must become leaner, more agile, and more responsive. Marine aviation-associated logistics is complex, cumbersome, and has a large footprint. Contrary to what some may believe, Marine Corps organic units constitute only a portion of Marine aviation-associated logistics. Marine Squadrons and the Marine Corps Aviation Logistics Squadrons are Marine Corps components within aviation-associated logistics. Other components are organizations within the Naval Supply Systems Command and the Defense Logistics Agency. This research paper examines ways in which organizations within Marine aviation-associated logistics could be reorganized to meet the Commandant's vision of Precision Logistics. Areas of particular interest include moving supply trained individuals to the squadron level, combining Defense Logistics Agency and Naval Supply Systems Command inventory control points, consolidating inventory, and outsourcing various logistics functions.
