博客來Military and political savvy professionals understand that logistics contributes to the successful execution of military operations. Publications include numerous cases of logistics failures, and more often, logistics failures appear more than logistics successes. Though the dynamics of today’s battlefield have evolved from Napoleonic attrition style warfare, responsive and effective logistics remains critical. The United States’ unwavering commitment to combat global terrorism required the United States military to envision a lean, agile fighting force supported by an equally lean and agile support force. Transforming the military requires eliminating inefficient processes and adopting best business practices. Modernization of maneuvering forces and logistics allows the United States to impart proportionate lethality in a timely manner. Logistics modernization (LOGMOD) is paramount so that logistics equips US military forces with the resources necessary to overwhelm its enemies. The United States Marine Corps (USMC) promulgated pioneering LOGMOD initiatives so that units achieved a decisive advantage during military operations. Following the USMC’ prominent roles in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom, LOGMOD is becoming institutionalized at all echelons within the USMC. The Materiel Distribution Center incorporated modern information technology and integrated supply and transportation operations under a single process owner to provide impervious logistics support to the warfighter.
