“Adapting to Change”
Cell 2 Outbrief

2. 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.)

3. 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

4. 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

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

6. 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

7. 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)

12. 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
