What is Logistics?
Let’s first examine a civilian definition—then one unique to the military
6
Supply Chain
• Supply chain — The linked activities associated with providing materiel from a raw materiel stage to an end user as a finished product.

Business Definition“Logistics is that part of supply chain management
– . . .that plans, creates and monitors
– . . .the efficient, cost-effective flow– . . .and storage of goods, semi-finished items and
manufactured products
– . . .as well as related information between the
– point of origin and the point of consumption
– . . .in order to meet customers‘ requirements…”

Logistics –A military perspective
“The science of planning and carrying out the movement and maintenance of forces.”
10
OPERATION BARBAROSSA (WWII German Invasion of Russia)
ONE REASON FOR FAILURE: Germans forces could not be moved or maintained
12
What are some of the differences between the military and a civilian company ?
Because of these differences, what else should the military definition of “logistics” include?
14
Possible Answers
- Broader scope of mission (for example: military operates hospitals as well as vehicle maintenance)
- End goal is different – Measure “Readiness”, not profit
15
Military Logistics“In its most comprehensive sense, those aspects
of military operations which deal with:
a. Design and development (procurement)b. Storagec. Movementd. Distribution e. Maintenancef. Disposition of materielg. Evacuation, and hospitalization of personnelh. Construction, maintenance, operation, of facilitiesi. procurement or furnishing of services . . . . ”

Logistics provides the foundation of combat power and can be described as a bridge connecting a nation’s economy to its warfighting forces.

Logistics Solutions critical to Operations in Afghanistan

Normandy – World War II Logistics critical to the invasion of Europe
21
Supplying War – Normandy Beaches
22
Dien Bien Phu French Logistics shortages led to defeat
“Good logistics alone can't win a war. Bad logistics alone can lose it.”
23
Logistics effects in the Iran-Iraq War(Saddām's Qādisiyyah )
Iranian inability to resupply fighting forces decreased effectiveness and changed operational tactics.
24
GROUP QUESTIONS
1. At the start, it appeared the Iraqi Air Force was no match for the Iranian Air Force. Over time why was Iran unable to use their air force to give them a big advantage in the conflict?
2. How were Iranian tactics changed due to the impact of logistics
3. How did logistics help…or hurt Iraq during this conflict?
25
The following logistic principles are not a checklist, but a guide for analytical thinking and prudent planning:
PRINCIPLES OF LOGISTICS
Attainability
Responsiveness
SurvivabilitySustainability
Economy
Flexibility
Simplicity
Principles of Logistics
26
• Responsiveness– Right support in the right place at the right time – Keystone of the logistic principles, for all else
becomes irrelevant if the logistic system cannot support the concept of operations of the supported commander
– EXAMPLE: Logistics Support to the Iranian Military was unresponsive during the Iraq-Iran war
Principles of Logistics
27
Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami(RESPONSIVENESS)
28
• Attainability– Ability to provide the minimum essential supplies
and services required to begin combat operations• EXAMPLE: Logistics Build-Up prior to landing on
Normandy beaches during WWII
Principles of Logistics
29
• Simplicity– Avoidance of complexity and enhancement of
efficiency in both the planning and execution of logistic operations
• As the different models, types, and configurations of vehicles is increased, logistics becomes more complex and expensive
Principles of Logistics
30
• Flexibility– Ability to adapt logistic structures and procedures
to changing situations, missions, and concepts of operations
• Logistics plans and operations must be flexible to achieve both responsiveness and economy
• The US efforts to provide logistics to units in Afghanistan are hampered by a lack of good roads making extensive airdrops necessary
Principles of Logistics
31
• Economy– Provision of support at the least cost– EXAMPLE: It is important to return assets for
repair if it is more cost effective than simply throwing the asset away and purchasing a replacement.
Principles of Logistics
32
• Sustainability– Ability to maintain and continue logistic
support to all users throughout the area of operations for the duration of the mission
• Considered the most difficult task because it entails resupplying the combat forces throughout the entire area of operations
• EXAMPLE: The French were defeated at Dien Bien Phu because they could not sustain their operations
Principles of Logistics
34
• Survivability– Capacity of the organization to prevail in the face
of potential destruction • Must include a plan for defense of logistic installations
with provisions for reinforcement and fire support• EXAMPLE: The US is developing a northern supply
route into Afghanistan to avoid the dangers of convoying through Taliban controlled areas of Pakistan
Principles of Logistics
35

Route 4
Route 3
36
“Responsiveness” is the primary principle
The five “rights” - - - the simplest definition of “logistics”
• Supply the right product at the right place at the right time in the right condition for the right cost to the customer.
37
CASE STUDIES
38
Iran-Iraq War• Iran had problems
resupplying parts• Tanks requiring only
minor repair were abandoned
• Possessed tanks were poorly suited to operating conditions – created even more logistics requirements
CASE STUDY 1Principles of Logistics
39
Iran-Iraq War
• Iraq seems carefully considered the logistic implications of a war with Iraq well before the fighting actually started.
• The Iraqis also did their best to maintain a logistic pipeline.
CASE STUDY 2
43
NATO Operations in Afghanistan
Airdrop of Afghan Supplies– Not “economic”– Not “simple”
CASE STUDY 3
Why is this method an option?

Military Logistics(Review)
“….. those aspects of military operations which deal with:a. Design and development (procurement)b. Storagec. Movementd. Distribution e. Maintenance f. Disposition of materielg. Evacuation, and hospitalization of personnelh. Construction, maintenance, operation, of facilitiesi. Procurement or furnishing of services . . . . ”
45
The Four Logistics Processes
Logistics
Procurement
Disposition
Sustainment
Distribution
46
Introduction to Procurement
• Affordable – Consider more than
purchase price
• Effective – Operates when and
where needed
• Reliable – How often is it ready vs.
broke?
• Maintainable – If broken how hard is it
to fix?
• Supportable – Required parts, support
equipment, training
• Interoperable – Will it work with other
systems?
Goal is to purchase systems that are:
47
Purchase Cost vs. Operations and Support Cost
• Purchase Price: Approximately 22.8B IQD
• Operations and Support Cost Estimate: Approximately 1.1B IQD …each year

Introduction to “Distribution” “Process of the logistics system to deliver the right
things to the right place and right time.” Key
Elements
•People•Material•Facilities•Transportatio
n Modes•Information
51
What does “Distribution” contribute to the fight?
Logistics may not be as glamorous as operations….a slow moving convoy of trucks may not seem as exciting as a charging tank column…….
…….However, “Logistics” is an important and inseparable part of military operations. Distribution facilitates movement, fire and sustaining of the combat forces along time and space.

53
Introduction to “Sustainment”• “Provision of logistics required to maintain and
prolong operations until successful mission accomplishment.”
• Ensure the force is ready to fight; keep the force in the field (endurance)– Maintenance– Supply– Logistics Services
54
Sustainment—Planning Factors• Level and duration• Capable of expansion• Surge• Deploy• Robustness
56
Introduction to “Disposition”
The challenge—conserve the greatest amount of value for the Iraq Security Forces for items no longer required because of damage, wear out, or obsolescence
57
Disposition—Options for Surplus Items
• Convert to other use• Store for future use• Sell to allied customers• Sell to general public• Scrap• “Demilitarization” Required in
some cases

used as outer casing for GBU-28• Sales to other countries
