From Structure in Peace to Ready for War: A Vision for Movement Control

摘要

Ask logisticians if movement control works, and many will say it does not. Ask how it works, and you'll get many different answers. The Army's support of contingency operations from forward operating bases using contracted assets has altered how we think about movement control. As the Army shifts toward large-scale combat operations (LSCO), it must ensure the force is optimally designed and structured to manage distribution networks to be ready for war. The risk associated with "figuring it out" on the battlefield against peer threats will be high. The Army must optimize this critical capability now.
