Book excerpt: The capacity to foster global stability and defend America's national interests depends upon correct long-range planning for transport. Logistics -- especially mobility -- has long been a bill payer for combat equipment. This is a reappraisal of the importance of logistics. Contents: preparation for Desert Storm (DS); moving the force in DS (shortage of surge sealift, gaining air supremacy); moving the force in future conflicts (improving strategic surge lift and pre-positioning capability, integrating operation transport into the mobility strategy).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm involved the largest rapid movement of troops and supplies ever undertaken by the U.S. military. This report determines the DoD's ability to supply troops deployed to Saudi Arabia with the necessary support items and repair parts and the lessons learned by the services in the Desert Shield/Storm conflict. The authors visited military units of the Air Force, the Army, the Marine Corps deployed in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain that used a wide variety of weapon systems and services. They also obtained observations on logistics support from military officials who had been involved in Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reported on the Department of Defense's (DOD) efforts to supply troops deployed to Saudi Arabia for Operation Desert Shield/Storm with necessary support items and repair parts, focusing on: (1) how the DOD logistics system supplied the land-based forces; and (2) logistics support observations from military officials involved in the operation. GAO observed that: (1) Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm personnel were able to obtain needed parts and maintain high readiness rates; (2) despite prescribed plans, problems included a lack of available repair parts for some newly fielded systems, a lack of information on repair parts with the units, and transportation delays; and (3) the DOD supply system and Saudi Arabia adequately provided food for the troops, but Army and Marine Corps personnel noted problems with food variety and uniforms, boots, and chemical equipment sizing problems; and (4) the Marine Corps' Maritime Prepositioning Force and the Air Force's Harvest Falcon prepositioning program were both successful in expediting the deployment of supplies and support equipment to Saudi Arabia.

Book excerpt: Operational Logistics: The Art and Science of Sustaining Military Operations explores military logistics in terms of the theoretical foundations of operational logistics (OpLog) and its applications. The theoretical foundations are examined with regard to two dimensions. First, the artistic or qualitative aspects of contemporary logistics are looked at in the context of the operational level of war. These OpLog aspects include principles, imperatives and tenets, which are stated and analyzed. The second dimension relates to the scientific aspects of logistics. It is manifested by a formal network model that represents the structural and operational features of an OpLog system. Hence the book examines both artistic and scientific dimensions of military logistics and integrates the respective qualitative and quantitative aspects into a unified and definitive presentation of operational logistics. Chapter 1 presents a general introduction to military logistics. Chapter 2 discusses the general structure and characteristics of logistics and describes its three levels - strategic, operational and tactical. Chapter 3 focuses on Operational Logistics (OpLog). Chapter 4 deals with the logistics planning process. Chapter 5 addresses the issue of logistics information. Chapter 6 deals with forecasting logistics demands. Chapter 7 introduces the first version of the logistics network model. Chapter 8 addresses an important property of an OpLog system - Flexibility. Chapter 9 discusses two major (and dual) issues in OpLog practice: force accumulation and medical treatment and evacuation. Chapter 10 presents an inter-temporal network optimization model that is designed to determine deployment and employment of the support chain in an OpLog system.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joint logistical doctrine requires that each Service provide for the support of their respective forces. How the Services would provide that support to deployed Special Operations Forces (SOF) has been a major concern of SOF planners and commanders for the past several years. OPERATION DESERT SHIELD/ STORM required SOF to deploy to and conduct special operations in a theater in which there was no existing US support infrastructure at the start of the conflict. As such, it affords us the opportunity to analyze SOF support doctrine during a seemingly worse case scenario. Targeted primarily for those in the special operations community, this research project is of benefit to anyone involved in theater sustainment planning and operations. Having served as the Director for Logistics, J-4 of Special Operations Command Central, the author provides personal insight to several of the key logistics issues confronting SOF planners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Army's New Cumberland and Red River Depots to determine: (1) whether their work loads increased during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm; (2) whether their backlogs of received items and items to be shipped increased; (3) the cause of the backlogs; and (4) whether the Army learned any lessons that could be applied to improving logistics operations. GAO found that, during Operations Desert Storm and Desert Shield: (1) New Cumberland's receiving work load increased 44 percent, its requisition processing work load increased 59 percent, and its shipping work load increased 25 percent; (2) Red River's receiving and requisition work loads increased slightly, and its shipping work load increased 121 percent; (3) New Cumberland's materiel receiving backlog increased from 0 to 49 days, and its shipping backlog increased from 0 to 5 days; (3) Red River's receiving backlog increased from 26 days to 38 days by October 1990 and then decreased to 15 days by February 1991, and its shipping backlog increased from 9 to 27 days; and (4) the increased backlogs were primarily due to reductions in force that occurred at the same time as work-load increases, automated storage and retrieval systems that were not operational and exceeded optimal storage capacity. GAO also found the Army's logistics report about the lessons learned during the conflict suggests way to address problems involving: (1) inadequate oversight of cargo; (2) inefficiency of manual processing of requisitions; (3) reduction-in-force actions; and (4) a lack of accountability over deployed materiel and equipment. GAO believes that, although the Army has suggested corrective actions, the Department of Defense will have to make a long-term commitment to fulfill those actions in order for them to be effective.
