Air University Research: The Capabilities of Agile Combat Support under Wartime Conditions for the 21st Century

Beschreibung

This research paper analyzes historic, current and future logistics support structures. The goal of this paper is to illustrate that the newly established logistics concepts are highly effective in supporting the Air Force core competency of Agile Combat Support while also identifying constraints and possible chokepoints. Chapter one covers the pertinent historical perspectives and explains the factors that created Two-Level Maintenance (2LM), the USAF Depot participation in the process, and Lean Logistics. Chapter two explains the logistics concepts used to make up Agile Combat Support. After delivering these concepts, this author has concluded that the USAF cannot do it alone. Dependence lies on the joint community and our sister services for their logistical support. Chapter three brings together the essential elements of the supporting cast required to ensure success of Agile Combat Support. This chapter involves the agencies, organizations and joint support required to ensure Agile Combat Support is successful. Process improvement has been and will continue to be the catalyst in forging a seamless logistics infrastructure that provides reliable and responsive Agile Combat Support. The ability to forecast resources, deploy forces globally, commence early sustainment, reevaluate and pull specific resources, and transport rapidly are key to our success. Chapter four concludes with a summary of research assumptions and recommendations for improved and sustained Agile Combat Support.
