Expanding Logistics Capacity

摘要

The no-notice deployment last year of the 407th Brigade Support Battalion (BSB), 2d Brigade Combat Team (BCT), 82d Airborne Division, as the global response force to Operation Unified Response in Haiti was an example of how the Army as an expeditionary force deploys to places that have little to no initial logistics infrastructure. As the initial support force on the ground, the 407th BSB had to establish the support architecture while supporting its organic units and other units operating within the joint theater of operations.
