Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, operational commanders face a myriad of decisions to make in support of major operations plans, contingency plans and campaign plans. Perhaps one of the most difficult decisions is how to support these plans logistically. Operational logistic support decisions are never easy to develop and have become more difficult due to the recent draw down of the military force structure and the advent of Joint Vision 2010. The Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) is a viable resource that the operational commander can utilize to augment force structure. However, operational commanders must have an understanding of the concepts and underlying parameters for the incorporation of LOGCAP. Initially, the commander must first examine stated criteria to determine if the use of LOGCAP is justified. If these criteria are met, the commander must then understand how LOGCAP contractors will integrate into the command and control structure, how LOGCAP fits into their operational campaign and contingency planning process, and the additional force protection requirements that LOGCAP may demand. Finally, an understanding of the assimilation of these key elements is warranted to provide the commander with the ability to extend operational reach. This paper will address these issues and provide operational commanders with a better understanding of how to effectively incorporate LOGCAP into their operational logistics scheme.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commanders are constantly seeking better methods of utilizing their precious, and usually scarce, resources in time of war. The Logistics Civil Augmentation Program, or LOGCAP, is one of the more recent programs developed to optimize the use of our ever decreasing military forces. LOGCAP is the preplanned employment of civilian contractors, contracted for in peace, to perform support missions in the theater of operations. The military has increasingly turned to contractors for wartime support since the days of Napolean. In the decade following the Vietnam War, the Soviet military build-up forced the United States to turn to civilian firms to offset the projected shortfall in forces available to counter the threat. Originally designed to be a decentralized program, planned and contracted for at the MACOM level to support the corresponding regional CINCs, LOGCAP met with little support and was not a factor in the Gulf War. The program was revised and in 1992 a single, worldwide contract was let to provide theater support base services to all interested MACOMs. This new version of LOGCAP was put into action for the first time for Operation RESTORE HOPE in Somalia. This study examines the evolution of LOGCAP and its utility in Somalia. It focuses on the issues that arose both before and during the relief effort in Somalia. The purpose of the study is to educate the reader and stimulate further discussion and thought on the concept of LOGCAP and its applicability to future operations.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Army has commercially contracted for logistics and engineering support almost since its existence. LOGCAP is the Army's current method of out sourcing for selected combat support and combat service support (CS and CSS) to meet the needs of warfighting commanders. The major difference between LOGCAP and previous commercial contract support is that LOGCAP uses an umbrella concept to obtain a wide range of support under one contract. For the first time in Army history, this type of support is centralized at the Army level for management and execution. LOGCAP is another tool available to the warfighting commander to fill requirements that can not be supported by available forces or wartime host nation support (WHNS). Since the first LOGCAP umbrella contract was awarded in 1992, it has been executed on numerous Army operations, ranging from Somalia to Bosnia. During each operation, success only came after commanders in the theater tackled a steep learning curve by completing on the job training. How can we get the most out of this program without experiencing the same problems each time the program is executed? This paper will explore existing LOGCAP issues for the purpose of getting a better understanding of the program and future actions that are necessary to increase efficiency.

Under this program, a civilian contractor provides logistics & engin. services to deployed forces. There were reports of its escalating costs for the peacekeeping mission in Bosnia. This report addresses: (1) the extent to which the Army is using the program; (2) reasons for increases in the program¿s cost for the Bosnia peacekeeping mission; & (3) opportunities to improve program implementation from a doctrine, cost control, & contract oversight standpoint. Also addresses the potential for inefficiency by having similar support contract programs in the Navy & the Air Force. Focuses on the peacekeeping mission in Bosnia but also includes info. on LOGCAP use in Somalia, Rwanda, & Haiti. Illus.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Established in 1985, the Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) is a U.S. Department of the Army (Army) program that preplans for the use of global corporate resources in support of worldwide contingency operations. In the event that U.S. forces deploy, contractor support is then available to a commander as an option. The focus of this review is LOGCAP Task Order 130 that was awarded on April 27, 2006, to Kellogg, Brown and Root Services Inc. (KBR) to provide services necessary to support, operate, and maintain the Chief of Mission and Multi-National Force-Iraq staffs located at the U.S. Embassy-Iraq, and at other Chief of Mission sites within Iraq located in Baghdad, Basra, Al Hillah, and Kirkuk. We performed this review at the request of the Management Counselor, U.S. Embassy-Iraq. The broad objectives of this review were to determine whether the U.S. Government is receiving the services paid for under LOGCAP Task Order 130 and whether the support provided is reasonable, efficient, and cost effective. This report specifically addresses three issues: (1) Does the government have a process in place that ensures requirements are properly validated?; (2) Did KBR's performance meet contractual requirements in an effective and efficient manner?; and (3) Is the government performing adequate oversight of KBR's performance? This is a partial review of Task Order 130; it specifically examined elements of contractor operations conducted within the International Zone of Baghdad, Iraq, for services in four areas: fuel operations, food service, billeting, and morale/welfare/recreation services.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our audit objective was to determine whether the Army adequately planned for the transition from the Logistic Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) III contract to the LOGCAP IV contract. See Appendix A for a discussion of the scope and methodology and prior audit coverage related to the audit objectives. We performed this audit pursuant to Public Law 110-181, "The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008," section 842, "Investigation of Waste, Fraud, and Abuse in Wartime Contracts and Contracting Processes in Iraq and Afghanistan," January 28, 2008. Section 842 requires thorough investigation and auditing to identify potential waste, fraud, and abuse in the performance of DOD contracts, subcontracts, and task and delivery orders for the logistical support of coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. Further, section 842 requires thorough investigation and auditing of Federal agency contracts, subcontracts, and task and delivery orders for the performance of security and reconstruction functions in Iraq and Afghanistan. DOD plans to transfer logistics support for contingency operations in Kuwait, Iraq, and Afghanistan from the LOGCAP III contractor to the LOGCAP IV contractors. This audit focused on the task orders for the transferring of work in Kuwait; however, the Army Sustainment Command (ASC) will use the Kuwait transition work as the benchmark for transitioning work in Iraq and Afghanistan.
