Set Combatant Commander Expectations for the INDO-PACIFIC Region for the Supporting Logistics and Transportation Enterprise

摘要

MG David Wilson, USA, Commander, 8th Theater Sustainment Command, provided an overview of the Indo-Pacific region and described the difficulty created by the time and distance required to get to certain locations within the region. "Ensuring that we're operating at the speed of war is critical to forces out in the Pacific. Our sustainment community uses the same transportation architecture and global air routes as the civilian or commercial enterprises. And since we have enterprise partners west and east of the International Date Line, we have to account for the tyranny of distance that will impact how we operate and sustain the forces out here in the Pacific," said Wilson.
