Enablers to Ensure a Successful Force Centric Logistics Enterprise

Abstract

There is an ongoing logistics management revolution in the Department of Defense that is taking weapons systems life-cycle support from the shadow of acquisition into the daylight of a highly focused success oriented enterprise. Although there are many laudable attributes in this enterprise such as Force-Centric Future Logistics and Performance Based Logistics, the surety of achieving success in the logistics revolution will be a certainty by addressing and correcting certain structural weaknesses that have compromised excellent logistics performance for decades. It is the intention of the author to highlight those weaknesses and recommend corrective actions.
