COMBAT SERVICE SUPPORT (CSS) AND FORCE PROTECTION
Abstract
This activity includes FD/MCWL CSS and force protection experimentation efforts including assessment of equipment, new TTPs, training programs, and proposed organizational changes associated with enhanced capabilities. Although this category covers several small (less than $500K per FY) efforts being pursued by FD/MCWL, most programs listed below are considered major (valued at $500K or more) or have near real-time operational impact. Investments in this activity will be conducted under the Thrust Areas of Expeditionary Logistics, Force Protection, and Autonomy and Robotics. The FY 2014 decrease in category funding is mainly due to a reduced contribution to the MCWL-Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) legged robot effort, in addition to reductions in assessment of technologies that reduce the demand required to support the MAGTF. FY 2014 to FY 2015 increases are mainly attributable to an increased emphasis on providing enhanced medical care over a distributed battlefield. Other increases are due to expanded efforts in unmanned ground logistics delivery technologies.
