Logistics Automation Support of Joint Vision 2020 and Army Transformation

摘要

This strategy research project analyzes the logistics automation initiatives planned by the Army and provides an assessment of their ability to support Joint Vision 2020 and Army transformation efforts. Department of Defense Reform Initiative Directive (DRID) 54 - Logistics Transformation Plans provides the central guidance necessary to direct required changes in logistics automation. DRID 54 directs the services to develop a total asset visibility capability and field a web-based shared data environment for logistics data by FY 2004. Developing these capabilities faces notable management, funding, communication and contractor challenges.
