Download or read book Wartime Roles and Capabilities for the Unified Logistic Staffs written by S. Craig Moore and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 1991 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes the interactions in wartime between the commander-in-chief's (CINC's) logistic staff and (1) the CINC's operations planning staff and (2) the Services' theater components' logistic staffs. It identifies and describes four important roles that, because of limitations in information and authority, CINC logistic staffs can fill only partially today: (1) monitoring current and evolving theater logistic capabilities, (2) coordinating logistic support with current and planned operations, (3) advising the CINC about the supportability of proposed operations and courses of action, and (4) acting as the agent/advocate to non-theater logistic organizations. The authors recommend that these roles be spelled out clearly — along with the constituent decisionmaking and necessary supporting information — in command and organizational documents. They recommend specific technical improvements in decision support for three major types of support resources: bulk fuels, conventional ammunition, and spare parts. They also recommend (1) a review of the unified commands' capabilities to exert wartime command and control over their distribution systems and (2) development of a way of integrating wartime assessments for individual resource categories into evaluations of the overall supportability of specified operations.

Download or read book Enhancing Joint Capabilities in Theater Ammunition Management written by John Frederic Schank and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 1991 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Commander in chief (CINC) of a U.S. unified command develops the strategies for and oversees the development of operational plans for employing and sustaining the U.S. military forces in his theater or geographic area of responsibility. Besides having operational command over his service components in both peacetime and wartime, the CINC has "directive authority" over logistics, which permits him in wartime to authorize commanders to use all facilities and logistics resources available as necessary for the accomplishment of their operational missions. The CINCs must have flexible and responsive management systems that can identify potential sustainability and supportability problems and allocate logistics resources in concert with operational plans and objectives. This report defines the data, knowledge, and analytic tools required by the CINC/Logistics Directorate (J-4) staffs in wartime and compares those requirements with the capabilities currently available or under development. The authors recommend enhanced data, knowledge, and models that would improve the CINC/J-4 staffs' ability to assess the ammunition supportability of current and planned operations.

Download or read book A Review of Strategic Mobility Models and Analysis written by J. Shank and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 1991 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because strategic mobility issues are complex, analysts must be supported by large computer models, which are used to evaluate some aspect of transporting combat and support forces from the United States to a combat theater and sustaining them there. Currently, however, organizations often have difficulty understanding the models and using them to support their analysis objectives. This study was designed to assist the Logistics Directorate of the Joint Staff to understand and improve the capabilities of the major computerized models and databases used for analyzing strategic mobility questions, evaluate the attributes and limitations of the major existing models, and determine whether another computer model would serve the directorate's needs better than the current model. The study concentrated on resource planning, which is typically long-range force planning and programming. The analysis indicates that the strategic mobility models examined--MIDAS, RAPIDSIM, TFE, FLOGEN, and SEACOP--share the following shortcomings: they all work in one direction only; they have limited credibility outside the organizations that use them; they do not sufficiently recognize uncertainty; they have narrow, rigid objective functions; and their output measures do not adequately serve analysts' needs.
