Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically the focus of the defense acquisition and sustainment system has swung pendulum-like between two policy objectives. At one end of the arc, the goal is effectiveness: insuring that the military gets the best equipment and support available as rapidly as possible even if this means choosing a more costly alternative. Effectiveness is the priority when U.S. forces are engaged in combat as they have been for the past decade. At the other end of the arc, the goal is efficiency: providing solutions based generally on lowest cost. In order to achieve efficient outcomes, the acquisition system tends to increase oversight and slow down the process of buying goods and delivering services. A focus on efficiency is common in peacetime, particularly when defense budgets are declining. The current period in world history can be characterized as 'neither war nor peace.' At the same time, defense budgets have begun to decline and pressure is increasing to reduce acquisition costs. A number of defense department organizations have instituted innovative approaches to acquisition and supply chain management that achieve a balance between effectiveness and efficiency. In most instances, these examples are based on the use of commercial best practices. The Department of Defense needs to examine its acquisition portfolio with an eye to expanding the use of proven, innovative procurement and supply chain management techniques. The department also should seek to expand the current, limited use of performance-based logistics contracts.
Download or read book Defense Logistics for the 21st Century written by William G Tuttle and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2013-06-11 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last comprehensive study of defense logistics was published in 1959. In the ensuing forty-five years a revolutionary change in information technology and defense strategy has swept the field and mandated a new understanding of the objectives and principles of military logistics. The author, renowned defense logistics expert General William Tuttle, covers all aspects of the subject including force projection, force sustainment, and minimizing the logistics "footprint" in battle spaces. Within these objectives, he includes five principles that are employed to assess the effectiveness of the process and identifies their shortfalls and remedies. He also illuminates the major influences of culture and politics on defense logistics and proposes ways to minimize their adverse impact on combat readiness. Written for defense logistics leaders —those currently coping with the challenges and those logistics aspiring to lead —and for everyone involved in the complexities of planning and strategy, this up-to-date volume is sure to become a hallmark in the field.

Download or read book Military Logistics written by Vasileios Zeimpekis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-25 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights recent advances in the development of effective modeling and solution approaches to enhance the performance of military logistics. It seeks to further research in global defense-related topics, including military operations, governmental operations and security, as well as nation support. Additionally its purpose is to promote the global exchange of information and ideas amongst developers and users of military operations research tools and techniques. Over the course of its nine chapters, this edited volume addresses significant issues in military logistics including: a) Restructuring processes via OR methods aimed at improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the military logistics, b) Sense-and-Respond logistics prediction and coordination techniques that provide competitive advantage, spanning the full range of military operations across the strategic, operational and tactical levels of war, c) Procurement and auctioning, d) Inventory and stock control theories and applications, e) Military transport and logistical equipment, and, f) Maintenance, repair and overhaul on operational capability in general and equipment availability. The book aims to bridge the gap between the abundant literature on commercial logistics and its scarce defense & combat counterpart. This collection of useful insights into new trends and research will offer an ideal reference for practitioners and army related personnel interested in integrating scientific rigor to improve logistics management within defense organizations & agencies. Ultimately this book should provide a relevant platform for the latest contributions of operations management, operations research, and computational intelligence towards the enhancement of military logistics.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This document presents the Department of Defense (DoD) strategy to reconcile advanced logistics concepts in support of distributed adaptive operations and DoD transformation, as required by the FY06 Strategic Planning Guidance. The strategy was prepared for the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics) by the Logistics Transformation Roadmap Steering Group, under the direction of the Joint Logistics Board. The strategy includes a comprehensive process to reconcile Focused Logistics, Force-centric Logistics Enterprise, and Sense and Respond Logistics. The strategy also encompasses other transformational operations, intelligence, and logistics concepts to provide a more comprehensive approach to achieve Joint Focused Logistics capabilities. An aggressive experimentation campaign and rapidly developed operational prototypes are included to test, refine, validate, integrate, and socialize transformational logistics technology and concepts. These efforts will enable DoD to better manage logistics developments and to integrate and coordinate with developing concepts for military operations. This strategy supports the detailed Focused Logistics Roadmap to be published in 2005, which will include specific programs, milestones, and resources to achieve Focused Logistics capabilities."--DTIC abstract.

Book excerpt: These student papers are largely focused on present problems which must be solved before movement toward the future can make much progress. If they are not dramatically futuristic in approach, they are nevertheless set against a future backdrop which is still in the process of being defined. The broader Army After Next program, led by the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Comand, is an experiment, an examination of what could be. The Army War College seeks to play its part through this contribution and by educating those officers who will field, staff, and command our future Army.
