Contracting: Creating Gaps in Expeditionary Warfighting Capability
Abstract
The Army, through expanded use of CLS for services and organic maintenance, has created the potential for capability gaps in critical support systems required for the execution of scenarios like containing a mass migration of refugees from Mexico into the U.S., and possibly more serious expeditionary situations significant to U.S. national security interests. Illustrative of these emerging gaps is the Army's use of CLS to meet Bulk Class III and field feeding requirements along with combat vehicle and aviation maintenance support. CLS initiatives such as these are setting the stage for downstream impacts on unit training capability, operational employability, and personnel retention rates.
