Logistics Strawman

1. Logistics Strawman Tier 1 Definition: The ability to project and sustain the operational readiness of the joint force through deliberate sharing of National and multi-national resources to support operations, extend operational reach and provide the joint force commander freedom of action necessary to meet mission objectives. • Issue: Purely Functional JCAs vs Portfolio Management Considerations. Need guidance on how to consider portfolio management implications when conducting a functional decomposition. Strict Functional approach could lead to complicated governance structures and difficulties grouping related capabilities under a single CAM. • Recommendation: Use functional decomposition as business rule and then filter for obvious conflicts with portfolio management. Revisit final JCA framework once portfolio management approach is approved for use across DoD and business rules are further developed as a result of IR&G test case.

2. Logistics Seams Seam topic: Combat Engineering Seam with: Force Application Recommendation: Acknowledge seam but align all Operational Engineer Capabilities under a single Tier II to facilitate portfolio management under a single CAM. Rationale: Reduces complexity of governance and allows for better integrated Joint Engineer capabilities. Recommended business rule: While functional decomposition is the logical first step, when feasible, consolidate closely related or dual use capabilities under a single Tier II JCA. Seam topic: Geospatial Engineering Seam with: Battlespace awareness Recommendation: Acknowledge seam but align all Operational Engineer Capabilities under a single Tier II to facilitate portfolio management under a single CAM. Resolve definitions during decomp workshop. Rationale: Geospatial Engineering is focused on production of products portraying physical environment and infrastructure where BA is focused on planning, collecting, processing and analysis Recommended business rule: When capabilities are closely related, ensure definition of JCA show clear delineation from related JCAs.

3. Logistics Seams Seam topic: General Engineering Seam with: Force Support/ Installation Support Recommendation: Clearly delineate expeditionary nature of General Engineering in definition as opposed to Contracted or MILCON type construction capabilities found in Installation Support. Rationale: General Engineering is typically delivered at the operational level where Installation Support is a corporate function (not necessarily corporate support) and is more than permanent infrastructure management (i.e. range management, childcare, fixed energy production and distribution, housing, etc.) Recommended business rule: N/A

5. Logistics Tier 2 & 3 Definitions • Operational Engineering: The ability to execute and integrate combat, general, and geospatial engineering to meet National and JFC requirements to assure mobility, provide infrastructure to position, project, protect, and sustain the joint force, and enhance visualization of the operational area, across the full spectrum of military operations. • Combat Engineering: The ability to employ engineering capabilities and activities that support the maneuver of land combat forces and that require close support to those forces. Combat engineering consists of three types of capabilities and activities: mobility, countermobility, and survivability. (J.P. 3-34) • General Engineering: The ability to employ expeditionary engineering capabilities and activities, other than combat engineering, that modify, maintain, or protect the physical environment. Examples include: the construction, repair, maintenance, and operation of infrastructure, facilities, lines of communication and bases; terrain modification and repair; and selected explosive hazard activities. (J.P. 3-34) • Geospatial Engineering: The ability to produce and portray data pertaining to the geographic location and characteristics of natural or constructed features and boundaries that contribute to a clear understanding of the physical environment. Examples include: terrain analyses, terrain visualization, digitized terrain products, nonstandard tailored map products, precision survey, geospatial data management, baseline survey data, and force beddown analysis. (J.P. 3-34)

6. Logistics Tier 2 & 3 Definitions • Supply Chain Operations: The ability to integrate and synchronize processes, systems, programs, while conducting Supply Planning, Sourcing, Repair/Maintenance, Deployment/Distribution and retrograde/return operations to ensure that the supported commander has those items necessary for ready forces and equipment, on time and where needed. • Procurement: The ability to identify and select supply sources, schedule deliveries, receive, verify, and transfer product and authorize supplier payments. It includes the ability to manage business rules, assess supplier performance, manage inventory and capital assets, management of the supplier network, and coordination for import requirements and supplier agreements. • Manufacture: The ability to schedule production activities, produce and test, package, stage supplies, and release product for delivery. • Repair/Maintenance: The Ability to retain materiel in a serviceable condition or to restore it to serviceability. It includes inspection, testing, servicing, classification as to serviceability, repair, rebuilding, and reclamation. (J.P. 1-02) • Distribution: The Ability to synchronize all elements of the logistic system to deliver required supplies and force modules at the required location at a time sufficient to support a combatant commander’s operational requirements. Distribution includes the ability to maintain in-transit visibility, position and store strategic and operational stocks. Distribution also includes the physical movement and tracking of forces and equipment as part of the deployment operations but does not include all capabilities required to support the deployment process. Distribution Tier IV include Airlift, Sealift, Land Lift, Pipeline and Intermodal Operations. • Retrograde: The Ability to provide disposition for excess or unserviceable materiel and either return to stock or dispose from DoD inventories.

7. Logistics Tier 2 & 3 Definitions • Logistics Services: The ability to provide services and functions essential to the technical management and support of the joint force in an expeditionary environment. • Laundry/Shower/Textile repair: The ability to provide hygiene and fabric repair support during expeditionary operations. • Food Service: The ability to plan, synchronize and manage subsistence support to the joint force to include dining facility management, subsistence procurement and storage, food preparation, field feeding and nutrition awareness. • Water Operations: The ability to produce, test, store and distribute bulk and packaged water in support of expeditionary operations. • Basecamp Services: The ability to provide shelter, billeting management, waste management and common user life support management to a deployed force. • Operational Contracting: The ability to obtain goods and services and minor construction from commercial sources via contracting means in support of contingency operations. (J.P. 4-10 draft) (previously aligned under Log Services. As a result of findings from the Joint Log Test Case, this JCA has been determined to be sufficient in scope to be a distinct portfolio and Tier II JCA) • Contract Support: The ability to ensure supplies and services are delivered in accordance with conditions and standards expressed in a DoD contract. Contract support includes government oversight development and award of a contract through close-out, property administration and quality assurance. • Contractor Management: The Ability to plan for, manage and integrate contracted support and contracted personnel into military operations. Contract Management includes deployment, re-deployment and government responsibilities for accountability, life and other support.
