Potential Limiting Factors

d. Logistical Supportability: (1) Deployability: required resources (less is better), (2) Infrastructure Needs: in-country evaluation of runways, road, bridges and other permanent structures which are required for combat operations (more is better), (3) Supportability: evaluation of required classes of supply and combat support personnel (less is better)

2. Facts: Regardless of the type of military operation, HR support must focus on the performance of critical wartime tasks of personnel readiness management, personnel accountability, strength reporting, and personnel information management. A key note to remember is that military operations will change and the S-1 must be prepared to provide HR support regardless of the type of military operation. Failure to properly plan for HR support can have a serious impact not only on the commander’s ability to make military decisions based on personnel, but can also impact the readiness and

Communicate with XVIII Corps, and subordinate Commands on food service issues, conducts Staff Assistance Visits and Command Inspections for subordinate units, support deployment and redeployment food service operations.

Services that directly impact the ability of the DLIS to meet its operational exigencies such as DOD Readiness Command, DOD Joint Military Combat Operations Task Force Support, international or national coordinated activities are considered mission critical. While other services, although important, must be made available in a

11. prior to deployment, one of the responsibilities of the unit leaders to assist the fst is to reinforce command emphasis regarding which of the following requirements?

You are the brigade S4 and are planning operations that commence in 48 hours. You are coordinating with the brigade S3 during your planning process to ensure you fully understand the tactical requirements of the operations. Which two principles of sustainment are you applying?

The BLST Team continues to interact with customers assisting them in increasing readiness. This week we were invited to attended 1/1 SBCT Major OPD which covered CMDP, FLIPL and SSA Operations. This OPD offered us the opportunity to brief key leaders on what we do and how we can support the war fighter.

Through their PCCs that all equipment necessary for the mission is on hand. You, the platoon

The ground tactics force is not the only aspect of this effort; their primary mission should be the security of the engineering and construction force and surveillance of the borders such similar to the efforts of Operation Jump Start (Greenhill. 2006 / pg25). The overall major focus of this

Army sustainment is based on an integrated process (people, systems, materiel, health services, and other support) indivisibly linking sustainment to operations. The concept focuses on building a combat ready Army, delivering it to the combatant commander (CCDR) as part of the joint force, and sustaining its combat power across the depth of the operational area and with unrelenting endurance (ADRP 4-0, Chap. 1, Intro.) Sustainment maintenance is off-system component repair and/or end item repair and return to the supply system or by exception to the owning unit, performed by national level maintenance providers. National level maintenance providers include the Army

After five deployments including trips to Afghanistan and Iraq, I have seen the full spectrum of the deployment process. I have seen the process for conventional and special forces and how they differ. Over the years, I have experienced how the Army sustains the force and how it has made changes to the process. Sustainment in Army operations is not always smooth and effective.

Sustainment is defined by the Army as “the provision of logistics, personnel services, and health service support necessary to maintain operations until successful mission completion.” The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines sustain as “to provide what is needed for (something or someone) to exist, continue, etc.; to give support or relief to.”

Force Sustainment Sustainment has a crucial role in the Army’s ability to project combat power across the globe. Over the past fourteen years of war, the Army has sustained prolonged combat operations through a system of synchronizations. After numerous deployments, the Army has developed its doctrine to ensure the product gets from the factory to the foxhole. The purpose of this paper is to outline the relationship between the three levels of sustainment and explain how the principle of continuity assures confidence in sustainment allowing your commander freedom of action, operational reach, and endurance. Levels of Sustainment

Many systems and elements must work together to the mission, as well as scientific and crew activity on the surface base. Systems vary as the mission varies, but a solid infrastructure is needed to support the base at the
