NDIA / USMC War Game 2006 “Adapting to Change” Cell 2 Outbrief

D. O. Sustainment Strong Points (What & Why) Reduces Log footprint ashore (Sustainment is going closer to end user and reduces stockpiling at higher levels. It may not reduce overall footprint due to distribution systems required.)

D. O. Sustainment Weak Points (What & Why) Assets required to sustain No Defined CONOPS Distances Increase Increased C2 inefficiencies (inadequate number and types of radios/additional nodes in the C2 system) Increased Distribution challenges/capability gaps

D. O. Sustainment Weak Points (What & Why) (Cont) TO&E footprint Increase of Square & Cube (all Lift & Delivery assets) Determining Log Requirements for DO Teams (Push or Pull) Tailoring Log Packages

D. O. Sustainment (Cont) Capability Shortfalls (See Weaknesses)

D. O. Sustainment (Cont) Recommendations Examine a water production capability at small unit level Reconsider the “every Marine has a seat” concept Examine packaging and delivery of supplies to DO squads

D. O. Sustainment (Cont) Recommendations (Cont) Need a coordinated effort between MARCORSYSCOM and other commands on Expeditionary Logistics to ensure that knowledge is being distributed (reduce double work)

Logistics Modernization Strong Points (What & Why) Not Reviewed Weak Points (What & Why)

Logistics Modernization (Cont) Capability Shortfalls Not Reviewed

Logistics Modernization (Cont) Recommendations Not Reviewed

Humanitarian Assistance / Disaster Relief Strong Points (What & Why) Air Lift/Transportation Rapid Response Man Power Planning and Organizing Self Contained/Sustaining Force Command and Control Life Sustaining Logistics Capability Air Lift/Transportation Rapid Response Man Power Planning and Organizing Self Contained/Sustaining Force Command and Control Communication Infrastructure Limited Air Traffic Control Life Sustaining Logistics Capability Water Making Capability (ROWPU) Electrical Generation Temporary Shelter/Tentage Medical Care

Humanitarian Assistance / Disaster Relief Weak Points (What & Why) Limited by available resources (Sea Based or Land Based) Degradation of Warfighting Capability Manage Expectations Limited by available resources (Sea Based or Land Based) C2 Interoperability (limited by the military radios that you have) Manage Expectations Use of CMO Cells and LNOs Articulation of USMC task & mission set Sensitivity to Posse Comitatus Degradation of Warfighting Capability Load on ESG MEU/SOC for a full HA/DR Package (Declining number of available ships and space is at a premium. If HA/DR Packages are increased for possible contingencies it will tax assets. Possible PREPO of HA/DR packages that can be flowed to ESG for execution of CONPLAN.) Budget for HA/DR Contingencies and reconstitution after execution

Humanitarian Assistance / Disaster Relief(Cont) Capability Shortfalls (See Weaknesses)

Humanitarian Assistance / Disaster Relief(Cont) Recommendations Recognize that Budget is a factor Better Manage Expectations Limited by available resources (Sea Based or Land Based) Manage Expectations Degradation of Warfighting Capability
