Book Synopsis Naval Expeditionary Logistics by : Committee on Naval Expeditionary Logistics
Download or read book Naval Expeditionary Logistics written by Committee on Naval Expeditionary Logistics. This book was released on 1999-02-23. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the request of the Chief of Naval Operations, the National Research Council (NRC) conducted a study to determine the technological requirements, operational changes, and combat service support structure necessary to land and support forces ashore under the newly evolving Navy and Marine Corps doctrine. The Committee on Naval Expeditionary Logistics, operating under the auspices of the NRC's Naval Studies Board, was appointed to (1) evaluate the packaging, sealift, and distribution network and identify critical nodes and operations that affect timely insertion of fuels, ammunition, water, medical supplies, food, vehicles, and maintenance parts and tool blocks; (2) determine specific changes required to relieve these critical nodes and support forces ashore, from assault through follow-on echelonment; and (3) present implementable changes to existing support systems, and suggest the development of innovative new systems and technologies to land and sustain dispersed units from the shoreline to 200 miles inland. In the course of its study, the committee soon learned that development of OMFTS is not yet at a stage to allow, directly, detailed answers to many of these questions. As a result, the committee addressed the questions in terms of the major logistics functions of force deployment, force sustainment, and force medical support, and the fundamental logistics issues related to each of these functions.

Book Synopsis Logistics in the Falklands War by : Kenneth L Privratsky
Download or read book Logistics in the Falklands War written by Kenneth L Privratsky. This book was released on 2016-08-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While many books have been written on the Falklands War, this is the first to focus on the vital aspect of logistics. The challenges were huge; the lack of preparation time; the urgency; the huge distances involved; the need to requisition ships from trade to name but four.??After a brief discussion of events leading to Argentina's invasion the book describes in detail the rush to re-organise and deploy forces, despatch a large task force, the innovative solutions needed to sustain the Task Force, the vital staging base at Ascension Island, the in-theatre resupply, the set-backs and finally the restoring of order after victory.??Had the logistics plan failed, victory would have been impossible and humiliation inevitable, with no food for the troops, no ammunition for the guns, no medical support for casualties etc.??The lessons learnt have never been more important with increasing numbers of out-of-area operations required in remote trouble spots at short notice. The Falklands experience is crucial for the education of new generations of military planners and fascinating for military buffs and this book fills an important gap.

Book excerpt: "This purpose of this MBA Professional Report is to provide a portfolio for U.S. Navy logistics professionals who are members of, or whose primary function is to support U.S. naval expeditionary forces. The report will consolidate and clarify existing planning and logistics publications, guidance, instructions, and deployment procedures, and add elements of the aforementioned from other armed services and government agencies that are lacking in current U.S. Navy documents. The report will augment the Joint operational logistic planning process as it pertains to operational and tactical level planning. The report will also provide guidance based upon anecdotes and opinions of the author that are pertinent in developing unit or deployment-specific logistic support plans for U.S. naval expeditionary forces. Research was accomplished by reviewing numerous documents of military units and federal agencies whose principal responsibility is expeditionary warfare and supporting expeditionary forces. Conclusions and appendices address shortfalls in doctrine that are specific to logistics support of U.S. naval expeditionary forces and training of expeditionary logistics professionals. The appendices will consist of a boiler plate Operation Order (OPORD) that will provide a basic understanding of how to write and understand a basic order, checklists for pre-deployment preparation and deployment sustainment, and an overview of contingency contracting and host-nation support, that are all combined to crerate a working Logistics Handbook."--Page v.
