The shift in U.S. defense strategy and the transformation of the
Army must be matched by a similar transformation in logistics. The
Service-centric, hierarchical logistical organizations that relied
upon requisitions and historical consumption rates was ill-suited
to supply or support strategically deploying forces in simultaneous
actions across the breadth and depth of the battlespace. The new
way of warfare requires a logistics system with the same
characteristics as the tactical forces: speed, maneuver- in-depth,
adaptability, agility, flexibility and battlespace situational
awareness. It must be responsive in a timely manner to the needs of
far-flung forces and do so without creating new "Iron Mountains" or
establishing a large footprint that may be vulnerable to attack and
will certainly be expensive. What the Army is doing for itself must
eventually evolve into a fully joint logistics system. This
monograph evaluates Army Logistics Transformation vis-a-vis Army
Transformation. History serves as the stage setter to establish a
framework that supports and establishes the importance and
significance of logistics transformation. At issue is the changing
nature of logistics structures and concepts of support that were
developed for a Cold War Army and that continue to evolve to meet
support requirements within an asymmetric warfare environment.
