How the Integrated Logistics Concept Will Fix Our Outdated Maintenance System

Abstract

Joint Vision 2010 (JV 2010), the Joint Chiefs of Staff plan for the twenty-first century, identifies focused logistics as one of the four pillars for continued military success. The current Marine Corps logistics system, with processes developed in the 1960s and technology from the 1970s, is clearly in need of transformation in order to comply with the focused logistics element of JV 2010. The Integrated Logistics Concept (ILC), an overarching plan for logistics reform, addresses the challenge of redesigning Marine ground equipment maintenance. The ILC will necessitate a significant cultural change, but the changes to the ground maintenance structure under ILC will allow us to focus on core competencies. It will result in cost savings and a reduced time to repair equipment, while enabling the Marine Corps to transform its outdated logistics system in preparation for the challenges of the twenty-first century.
