  1. NDIA / USMC War Game 2006 “Adapting to Change” Cell 2 Outbrief

  2. D. O. Sustainment • Strong Points (What & Why) • Reduces Log footprint ashore (Sustainment is going closer to end user and reduces stockpiling at higher levels. It may not reduce overall footprint due to distribution systems required.)

  3. D. O. Sustainment • Weak Points (What & Why) • Assets required to sustain • No Defined CONOPS • Distances Increase • Increased C2 inefficiencies (inadequate number and types of radios/additional nodes in the C2 system) • Increased Distribution challenges/capability gaps

  4. D. O. Sustainment • Weak Points (What & Why) (Cont) • TO&E footprint • Increase of Square & Cube (all Lift & Delivery assets) • Determining Log Requirements for DO Teams (Push or Pull) • Tailoring Log Packages

  5. D. O. Sustainment (Cont) • Capability Shortfalls • (See Weaknesses)

  6. D. O. Sustainment (Cont) • Recommendations • Examine a water production capability at small unit level • Reconsider the “every Marine has a seat” concept • Examine packaging and delivery of supplies to DO squads

  7. D. O. Sustainment (Cont) • Recommendations (Cont) • Need a coordinated effort between MARCORSYSCOM and other commands on Expeditionary Logistics to ensure that knowledge is being distributed (reduce double work)

  8. Logistics Modernization • Strong Points (What & Why) • Not Reviewed • Weak Points (What & Why) • Not Reviewed

  9. Logistics Modernization (Cont) • Capability Shortfalls • Not Reviewed

  10. Logistics Modernization (Cont) • Recommendations • Not Reviewed

  11. Humanitarian Assistance / Disaster Relief • Strong Points (What & Why) • Air Lift/Transportation • Rapid Response • Man Power • Planning and Organizing • Self Contained/Sustaining Force • Command and Control • Life Sustaining Logistics Capability

  12. Humanitarian Assistance / Disaster Relief • Weak Points (What & Why) • Limited by available resources (Sea Based or Land Based) • Degradation of Warfighting Capability • Manage Expectations

  13. Humanitarian Assistance / Disaster Relief(Cont) • Capability Shortfalls • (See Weaknesses)

  14. Humanitarian Assistance / Disaster Relief(Cont) • Recommendations • Recognize that Budget is a factor • Better Manage Expectations
