The Army Command and General Staff College's New Solution to an Old Planning Problem

摘要

In the March-April 2011 issue of Army Sustainment, Maj. Gen. James L. Hodge stated, "Sustaining the future force in an era of persistent conflict, under conditions of uncertainty and complexity, requires an adaptive and versatile sustainment framework that is capable of maintaining the force's freedom of action." This statement, which described Hodge's vision of the Army's Functional Concept for Sustainment, reflects the Army's current sustainment challenge. This challenge requires logistics, adjutant general, and medical service officers attending Intermediate Level Education (ILE) to excel with agility and versatility in a highly complex, ill-defined environment.
