Book excerpt: Our expeditionary Army is designed to move fast and hit hard. To speed our forces to the fight, the Army Sustainment Command (ASC) maintains combat-ready equipment and materiel, strategically prepositioned around the world and ready for issue to Soldiers at a moment's notice. Theory was put to the test in 2003 when APS were issued to troops in Iraq. Operation Iraqi Freedom is the first war in which frontline troops were equipped largely by APS. Troops stationed in CONUS were flown to Southwest Asia (SWA) and matched up with forward-based APS equipment. The APS program's primary mission is to reduce the initial amount of strategic lift required to support a predominately CONUS-based force projection Army and to sustain Soldiers until traditional lines of communication are established. To meet the mission, stocks are forward-positioned in six countries and afloat aboard ships. Working through its global network of Army Field Support Brigades (AFSBs) and battalions, the ASC stores, maintains, issues, and resets APS equipment. AFSBs coordinate the reception and issue of APS units and secondary items during the theater opening phase. AFSBs also perform repairs and modification work orders on equipment in theater as required. The Army's Global Pre-positioning Strategy requires that simultaneous support be provided to more than one contingency in more than one theater. Expert planning and management of the four categories of APS is called for to meet this need. These categories are prepositioned unit sets, operational project (OPRJ) stocks, Army War Reserve Sustainment (AWRS) stocks, and war reserve stocks for allies (WRSA).

This book was released on 2017-08-11 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ATP 3-35.1 (FM 3-35.1), "Army Pre-Positioned Operations," provides doctrine for the Army pre-positioned stocks (APS) program. It describes the missions, duties, and responsibilities of all organizations involved in moving APS to an operational area and handing it off to designated Army units. It also describes planning and executing pre-positioned operations as well as supporting the combatant commander in a theater. The changing world environment has led to significant changes in how the Army structures its forces. No single solution will succeed when confronting an adaptive adversary. The Army must retain a wide range of capabilities while significantly improving its agility and versatility. Building a joint and expeditionary Army will require versatile forces that can execute smaller, shorter duration operations without degrading its traditional role in a major combat operation. At the core of this philosophy is having the ability to rapidly project predominately continental United States (CONUS)-based forces to an area of operations (AO), requiring the involvement of numerous military Services, agencies, departments, and organizations. Its credibility depends on the capability to deploy, in a timely manner, an appropriate military force capable of accomplishing the mission.
Download or read book Army Pre positioned Stocks written by Michael G. Bettez and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of the Cold War, our Army has changed from a strategy of forward deployment to one of force projection. Force projection offers many new challenges in fulfilling our role as the world's preeminent land power, prepared to fight and win our nations wars and maintain full spectrum dominance. The success of our force projection strategy depends primarily on the speed with which combat power can be assembled at a given location. This paper will describe the Army's Pre-positioned Stocks (APS) strategy and assess its role in the Strategic Mobility Triad (SMT), recommend equipment changes to enhance the relevancy of APS, and assess potential new geographic storage sites that are more responsive to the full spectrum of contingencies. The Chief of Staff of the Army, General Shinseki, has determined that in order for the Army to maintain its relevance it must be able to rapidly maneuver strategically to be responsive to the nation's needs. In order to be responsive, the Army Vision calls for the capability to put combat forces (a Bde) on the ground anywhere in the world in 96 hours, a division in 120 hours, and five divisions in 30 days. The recommendations of this paper will attempt to offer a strategy that is complementary to key areas of this vision. Finally this paper will provide the reader with a better understanding of the APS and its role in the shaping and response pieces of our National Military Strategy.

Download or read book Sustainment Stocks for the Korean Theater written by Army command and general staff coll fort leavenworth ks and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the Army's capability to provide Class VII (major end item) sustainment stocks to the Korean theater in the early stages of conflict or war. The work includes a brief introduction to the history of pre-positioned stocks and their significance to the Department of Defense's Strategic Mobility Plan, as well as an introduction to the Army Pre-positioned Stock (APS) program. This study concludes that the Army intends to provide theater Class VII combat loss replacements, in the Korean theater, in the early stage of conflict or war from Army Pre-positioned Stocks-Sustainment 4 (APS-S 4). However, the study also concludes that the Army is not currently capable of carrying out their intentions to use APS-S 4 for combat loss replacements because it contains insufficient quantities of equipment. The study quantifies the amount of equipment authorized but not pre-positioned and the amount of strategic lift required to bring the missing equipment to the war fight. The study suggests possible equipment sources and recommends that the Army develop a long-term plan to fix the program shortfalls. Finally, the study concludes that the lack of available sustainment stocks may create an unmanageable demand on available airlift and sealift for the Korean theater resulting in a delay of the counterattack.

Download or read book The Army Preposition Afloat Program written by Michael S. Tucker and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army's Pre-positioned Afloat (APA) fleet, known by military planners as Army Pre-positioned Stocks (APS-3), performs a key role in the nation's power projection strategy. Budgeting for this program is measured in billions of dollars-and it will undoubtedly be funded and maintained beyond the year 2010. As a key component of the nation's deterrence strategy, and an essential element of the nation's strategic mobility triad, APA is here to stay. Units assigned contingency missions must draw equipment from Army Pre-positioned Afloat, "but they have little to no prior visibility of the equipment which they may draw in a theater of war. Wholesale systems designed to maintain accurate inventories of the equipment are less than perfect; they simply do not offer the fidelity required for warfighting commanders who plan for deployment. Because of this uncertainty, the Army must become better acquainted with APS-3 and integrate APA training into annual training calendars. In the long term, the Army must foster an on-going partnership between APS planners and analysts, on one hand, and warfighting commanders and staffs, on the other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text offers a practical approach for understanding the US Army's extremely complex global logistics system, widely acknowledged as one of the largest in the world. The focus is on inventory management policy where prescriptions are illuminated through the prism of an enterprise supply chain analysis. Although Army aviation logistics examples are emphasized throughout, the fundamental issues and potential solutions are broadly applicable to other large-scale military and industrial supply chains as well. Following a summary of recent trends for background and context, a multi-stage conceptual model of the logistics structure is presented to segment and guide the effort. This multi-stage model is used to systematically analyze major organizational components of the supply chain, diagnose structural disorders and prescribe solutions. Integration challenges are addressed using cost-benefit perspectives which incorporate supply chain objectives of efficiency, resilience, and effectiveness. The design and evaluation section proposes an "analytical architecture" consisting of four complementary modeling approaches, collectively referred to as "dynamic strategic logistics planning", to enable a coordinated, enterprise approach for Army Logistics Transformation. An organizational construct is presented for an "engine for innovation" to accelerate and sustain continual improvement for Army logistics and supply chain management - a "Center for Innovation in Logistics Systems". Finally, strategic management challenges associated with enterprise integration and transformational change are addressed: organizational design; management information and decision support systems; strategic alignment for a learning organization; and workforce considerations including human capital investment needs. The text concludes with a relevant historical vignette and closes with a summary of expected benefits.
