1 Sense and Respond Logistics Forum Sense and Respond Logistics: The Compelling Need to Transform LTG C.V. Christianson Director, Logistics (J-4) Joint Staff 21 September 2006

2 Agenda  Joint Logistics - Our Future?  Our Environment  Strategic Framework  Strategic Relationships  Road Ahead

3 Joint Logistics The deliberate or improvised sharing of Service logistics resources to enhance synergy and reduce both redundancies and costs. What is it? Why do we need it? Because (especially during initial expeditionary activity) the Services, by themselves, seldom have sufficient capability to independently support the JFC.

4 Joint Logistics: Sense & Respond

5 “The future is not a result of choices among alternative paths offered by the present, but a place that is created... First in the mind, and then in the will... Next in activity. The future is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating...” - John Schaar, Futurist Our Future

6 Joint Logistics – Our Mandate “Just as U.S. forces are becoming more agile and capable of rapid action and are exploiting information advantages to increase operational effectiveness,... processes that support them need to develop similar attributes.” - Quadrennial Defense Review, 2006
