EXPERTS DEPLOY, 'ALL STAR LOGISTICIANS' ORGANIZE ACTIONS SUPPORT DISTRIBUTION PROCESS OWNER INITIATIVES

摘要

Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld's September 16, 2003, memo designating USTRANSCOM as the DoD Distribution Process Owner (DPO) is a watershed in DoD logistics transformation. For the first time in history, authority and accountability for end-to-end DoD distribution is now consolidated under a single command, directed by a unified combatant commander. USTRANSCOM is responsible for supervising strategic distribution and synchronizing all processes in the end-to-end supply, transportation and distribution pipeline. The imperative is success.
