1. Prisoners of a ConceptCoalition logistics needs to grow up to coalition operations to achieve economies of sustainability Gabor Petroczi-Farkas, Risk Manager, 29.05.2008 ‘During the last war, 80 percent of our problems were of a logistical nature.’ Field Marshal Viscount Bernard L. Montgomery, Royal Army

4. Moving Mountains- The Problem Starts Here • Training was focused on large scale unit movements • Warehousemen have been rewarded for filling containers to capacity • ...

6. The Mountains- The Problem Ends Here

7. So, what is Coalition Logistics? Logistics, provided by a task-organized CSS element tailored to support maneuver elements with multi-echeloned support in a single support package

8. Tenets of Coalition Logistics • Modularity: Capable of task organizing or plugging into various supported elements. • Flexibility: Able to transform or adjust quickly to changing support packages based on a fluid, asymmetric environment. • Adaptability: Able to support different services using equipment sets and doctrine that are familiar to the supported units. • Dexterity and agility: Capable of providing multi-echelon support using different support packages tailored to the supported units.

9. Essentials About Coalitions • Coalitions involve numerous military, governmental, and nongovernmental groups not accustomed to working together. • The unpredictability and complexity of these operations highlight the importance of quickly coordinating diverse organizations under crisis conditions. • Coalition members can contribute tremendous resources, but the challenge lies in integrating them as efficiently as possible. • Careful planning based on the capabilities and needs of each partner becomes essential.

17. ESOA Technology Enabler How it can be possible? • SAP NetWeaver as an Integration & Application Platform for home base and deployed operations • SAP ECC is a comprehensive family of adaptive business solutions, providing scalable best-of-breed functionality with complete process integration • SAP for Defense & Security to support processes like personnel, organization, planning, supply, maintenance, medical support etc. for defense forces

19. Reporting from an ERP-System Planned vs. actual comparison • Basis is the authorized Material of Force Elements, • Compared with stocks, • Taking into account the technical Status • Qualification match • Shows available qualifications related to a Force Element • Includes Assessments • Availability of „Drill-Down“ • Operational Readiness • Shows Readiness within categories like Materiel, Personnel and Training
