“TWV: Fixing the current fleet while preparing for the future” TACTICAL WHEELED VEHICLE CONFERENCE 2 FEBRUARY 2004 “TWV: Fixing the current fleet while preparing for the future” LTG C. V. Christianson United States Army Deputy Chief of Staff, G-4

AGENDA Experiences in OIF The future battlefield - a distribution based environment The current state of the TWV fleet Bridging the gap Way ahead

EXPERIENCES IN OIF Examples of Success Exceptional individual soldier performance An average of 2,000 trucks haul supplies every day over a hazardous 876 mile supply route from Kuwait to Iraq Military trucks have been driven 40-50 million miles since the beginning of operations During the combat phase, US logisticians used an average of 1,200 tankers to deliver 1.5 million gallons of bulk fuel per day

EXPERIENCES IN OIF Examples of Problems Bottlenecks at distribution nodes Minimal in-transit visibility No time-definite delivery schedule Ineffective control of truck movements across the battlefield No single manager of theater distribution Insufficient communications, force protection and battlefield awareness capability for drivers

REASONS FOR CHANGE Tactical and operational environments have changed The battle space is non-contiguous, rapidly reorganizing, and Joint and Combined The Future Force concept – “simultaneously deploy, employ, sustain”- demands innovation in support processes New technologies and capabilities continuously emerge

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR US? Logistics systems must be able to: See requirements in real time Non Line-of-Sight capability On demand, 24/7 Include Logistics, Personnel, Medical, Engineers Respond to requirements with speed and precision Single owner Flexible structure 100% visibility Rapidly establish forward sustainment capabilities in support of expeditionary operations Modular structure Strategic communications Force reception

CHARACTERISTICS OF “SPEED AND PRECISION” Responsive to Commander / Warfighter needs Flexible, versatile structure to meet changing situations An integral part of the strategic distribution system (DPO) Gain / maintain 100% visibility over entire distribution system  Integrated IT Infrastructure Single ownership of the system Modular, design, enabling rapid expansion Integration of theater / forward distribution centers  Management Centers  Mode Operators  Movement Controllers

IMPACT ON OUR FLEET? Unit design change More trucks required Multi-capable trans units Changed mission From receipt, store, issue… …to supply / distribution center operations Sustainment center of gravity has changed From mass… …to throughput TWV fleet is critical to mission success

HOW DO WE PROCEED? Share a common view of theater distribution Establish a Depot-Industry partnership Use industry experience and data to develop a framework for a cyclic refurbishment program What is a good cyclic interval? What would you want your providers to do? “We have purchased trucks that we didn’t really want, but were exactly what we asked for.”

Delivering materiel readiness… …we can’t do it without YOU!
