Joint Logistics Of A Joint Operations Enterprise Wide ( Jle Wide ) Visibility, And Managing Tasks

During arduous combat operations coinciding with a high OPTEMPO unit cohesion may flux toward a detriment of mission success. This report will focus on the 56TH Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT) in order to address the critical leadership problem. In addition, focus will center on relevant facts and assumptions that led to the critical leadership problem and rectify the issues. Furthermore, a new ABCT vision will be published in order to restructure the organizational culture toward a unified purpose and an increase in esprit de corps.

The Naval Aviation Command Logistics Information Management Information System (NALCOMIS) Optimized Organizational Maintenance Activity (OOMA) is the Navy and Marine Corps’ primary aviation maintenance documentation system. Introduced to the fleet in 2007 by the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWARSYSCOM), it provided significant capability improvements such as the creation of the Auto Log-Sets, thus allowing the Naval Aviation Enterprise to track the repair history, Technical Directives, etc... for individual repairable components throughout its life. The developers failed to ensure integrity of the Automated Log Set by not limiting the amount of times a component with the same part and serial number could be created.

Joint Planning Process is a seven step, analytical process providing an orderly approach to planning at any organizational level and at a point before and during joint operations. The focus of JOPP is on the interaction between a military commander, staff, and commanders and staffs of the next higher and lower commands. The ultimate goal of JOPP is the completion of an operational plan or order, the process is ongoing as a unit must continually plan and produce operational plans, orders and fragmentary orders for future operations and to make adjustments to current operations.

The command structure in United States Military is vital to the success of missions carried out in or outside the country. The Department of Defense is responsible for overseeing the establishment of command hierarchies that work for specific units. The commands, guidelines, and orders are passed from the highest-ranking personnel to lowest ranking officers who must perform the directive or pass it to subordinates with the same instructions. The principles that establish the command structure in the military evaluates the performance of each command and the officers involved in the various missions. The key principles that affected the execution of Operation Anaconda resulting in mission deficiencies are organizational structure, decision-making, and collaboration.

Logistics at the strategic level of U.S. operations is important in posturing and maintaining the Army to accomplish combined arms maneuver and wide area security. Transportation and maintenance contractors are vital to U.S. missions and provide valuable

JFSOCC’s delay caused issues in the development of the command structure. Furthermore, the mission requirements changed by the time the CFLCC and JFSOCC took control of their respected requirements, unity of command was still developing. External to the JFOCC structure, additional SOF units were operating across Afghanistan conducting their own individual missions with no JFOCC over sight. When SOF units request air support, it was send directly to CFACC and then forwarded to the CAOC dislocated from the ground force headquarters.

Served as the Levant analyst on the Joint Operation Center (JOC) Current Intelligence Team (CIT) during the Iraq crisis. Tasked with standing up a 24 hour intelligence section on the watch floor to provide intelligence support to the JOC watch staff and joint planning group (JPG). My daily duties were to provide the most up to date information for the daily intelligence summary, commanders read book, and preparation of the daily situational awareness brief for directorate and CG. As a trusted analyst I individually managed, addressed, and answered five requests for information directly from the 2-star Commanding General (CG) without requiring follow ups. Additionally, I supported the joint planning efforts by answering 12 additional requests

The theory of mission command is the command philosophy, which the U.S. Army employs at all levels of command. While term mission command is a relatively modern term, the model is not. The concept of Mission Command first appeared in the Field Service Regulation in 1905 and therefore represents a philosophical evolution spanning the past 110 years of U.S. Army history. Strong principles of leadership, which have prevailed for greater than a century, form the basis for the philosophy of Mission Command.

Unity of command means that a single commander directs and coordinates the actions of all forces toward a common objective (United States, 2011). The US and Japan both had a single commander directing all forces toward their

A JTF may be established in a geographical area when the mission is specific and does not require centralized control of logistics (George L. Sumrall, 1991). The mission assigned to a JTF should require implementation of responsibilities involving two or more military departments on a significant scale. A JTF is dissolved when the purpose for

The word logistics originated from the Greek word logistikos; meaning “skilled at calculating”. In military terms it can be defined as

The Army’s Strategic Goal is to provide the Joint Force Commander (JFC) with forces prepared to seize, retain, and exploit the initiative to gain and maintain a position of relative advantage in sustained land operations through simultaneous offensive, defensive, and stability or defense support of civil authorities operations in order to prevent or deter conflict, prevail in war, and create the conditions for favorable conflict resolution. (United States, 2014)

All operations require a shared understanding among the commander, staff, and subordinates. In order to develop a shared

Military doctrine defines logistics as ‘the science of planning and carrying out the movement and maintenance of forces’.1 Logistics is the applied art of moving armies and providing for the provision of support to keep that army moving or in location. It is a continuous and never ending operation. For the purposes of this paper it may be taken that a focus on the art of sustainment — that is, the actual process of maintaining an army during operations, with a smaller focus on the administrative side. Some parts of the administration side will not be looked at in this paper, these include record keeping, discipline and medical provision. In this paper, however, I shall be concentrating on what the major logistical issues confronting

3. The objective of logistics is to obtain efficiency of operations through the integration of all material acquisition, movement, and storage activities in the firm.
