<H2>TODAY'S FOCUS</H2>
<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Sustaining the Force</B> <BR><BR><B>What is it?</B> Our success in future
campaigns relies on a a joint-capable logistics community that maintains
domain-wide visibility over requirements, resources, and priorities; that
anticipates and delivers capability with speed and precision to meet operational
needs of the joint force commander; and that acts with unity of effort to plan
and execute logistics across the joint operations area.<BR><BR><B>What has the
Army done?</B> Critical to the success of our <A
href="http://www.hqda.army.mil/logweb/Army_Logistics_Vision.pdf"
target=_blank>Army Logistics Vision</A> is the transformation of our Combat
Service Support organizations to ones that are flexible, tailorable, and
scalable. The Army has developed a new Joint-capable <A
href="http://www.hqda.army.mil/logweb/concept_of_support.html"
target=_blank>Concept of Support</A> that will sustain our expeditionary and
campaign-quality Army across the full spectrum of operations. It enables support
to a non-linear, asymmetric, and non-contiguous battlefield. The Army has made
huge strides in equipping and training our Soldiers so that every Solider can
survive and support. Finally, we are fully prepared to operate seamlessly in a
joint, interagency, and multinational environment. Not yet complete, but
certainly under way, we continue to transform our logistics business by
blueprinting our future processes to commercial best practices as part of the <A
href="http://www.hqda.army.mil/logweb/integrated_logistics_environment.pdf"
target=_blank>Single Army Logistics Enterprise.</A> We are fielding <A
href="http://www.hqda.army.mil/logweb/cl_whitepaper_update.pdf"
target=_blank>logistics information technology and connectivity solutions,</A>
aligned with the Army's Integrated Logistics Architecture, that will give us
end-to-end visibility, accountability, and capability to better anticipate
operational needs. <BR><BR><B>What efforts does the Army plan to continue in the
future?</B> The Army will implement several critical initiatives in the next
years, all focused on maintaining <A
href="http://www.hqda.army.mil/logweb/Logistics_Readiness.pdf"
target?_blank?>360° view of logistics readiness.</A> Critical to equipping our
modular Army is our ability to know what we have, know where it is, and know
what condition it's in. Modernizing our logistics automation systems will give
us the tools to manage equipment through the entire Army--active and reserve
components. The Army will continue to execute a logistics enterprise solution
that connects our logisticians to <A
href="http://www.hqda.army.mil/logweb/Improve_Visibility.pdf"
target=_blank>further improve visibility over requirements, resources and
priorities.</A> We will enhance the readiness of the Operational Force through
<A href="http://www.hqda.army.mil/logweb/logistics_initiatives.pdf"
target=_blank>anticipating and delivering capability to meet operational
needs.</A> To better support a modular force, we will develop and implement an
aggressive <A
href="http://www.hqda.army.mil/logweb/Logistics_Automated_Governance_Plan.pdf"
target=_blank>Logistics Automation Governance Plan</A> that enhances logistics
warfighting and business operations architecture and that retires outdated
legacy systems. The Army will program and equip a balanced Combat Service
Support (CSS) force structure to execute our streamlined, modular concept of
support. We will synchronize Army Modular Force stationing decisions with Base
Realignment and Closure (BRAC) results and global stationing requirements. Our
new tactical wheeled vehicle strategy will modernize our fleets and reduce
operating costs. The Army will continue to develop a professional logistics work
force trained to anticipate and deliver logistics readiness for current and
future operations. <BR><BR>* To continue reading this topic on Sustaining the
