Logistics for the 21st Century: Deployment Distribution Operations Center, Quick Fix or Long Term Solution?

摘要

February 11, 2002 was a cold night in Baghram, Afghanistan as Lieutenant Colonel Ken Rozelsky recalls. He had just stepped off an Air Force C-130 cargo plane with his eight-man advance team from the 682nd Air Support Operations Squadron (ASOS), which he commanded. Lieutenant Colonel Rozelsky's squadron, a combat communications support unit, had been requested by the 10th Mountain Division and 3rd Army in support of the Joint Task Force (JTF) Headquarters for Operation Enduring Freedom. His flight into Baghram was the end of a 7 hour flight and the last leg of a long journey which had started several days earlier at Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina. For most, this would mark the end of a journey and the start of combat operations, but for Lieutenant Colonel Rozelsky it was just the beginning of many challenges with the Joint military logistics system.
