The mission of the United States Army is to fight and win our nation's wars by providing prompt, sustained land dominance across the full range of military operations and spectrum of conflict in support of combatant commanders. Accomplishing this mission rests on the ability of the Army to equip and move its forces to the battle and sustain them while they are engaged. Logistics provides the backbone for Army combat operations. Without fuel, ammunition, rations, and other supplies, the Army would grind to a halt. The U.S. military must be prepared to fight anywhere on the globe and, in an era of coalition warfare, to logistically support its allies. While aircraft can move large amounts of supplies, the vast majority must be carried on ocean going vessels and unloaded at ports that may be at a great distance from the battlefield. As the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have shown, the costs of convoying vast quantities of supplies is tallied not only in economic terms but also in terms of lives lost in the movement of the materiel. As the ability of potential enemies to interdict movement to the battlefield and interdict movements in the battlespace increases, the challenge of logistics grows even larger. No matter how the nature of battle develops, logistics will remain a key factor. Force Multiplying Technologies for Logistics Support to Military Operations explores Army logistics in a global, complex environment that includes the increasing use of antiaccess and area-denial tactics and technologies by potential adversaries. This report describes new technologies and systems that would reduce the demand for logistics and meet the demand at the point of need, make maintenance more efficient, improve inter- and intratheater mobility, and improve near-real-time, in-transit visibility. Force Multiplying Technologies also explores options for the Army to operate with the other services and improve its support of Special Operations Forces. This report provides a logistics-centric research and development investment strategy and illustrative examples of how improved logistics could look in the future.
"Abstract: This report documents policy considerations for Response, Emergency Staging and Communications, Uniform Management, and Evacuation (R.E.S.C.U.M.E.). R.E.S.C.U.M.E. comprises a "bundle" of mobility applications that use existing and new connected vehicle data sets and other data to provide first-responders, emergency management centers, and read crews with enhanced information, allowing them to respond faster and more effectively to incidents and emergencies than they can today. The policy team has documented four potential policy issues for R.E.S.C.U.M.E.: 1. Multi-Agency Coordination for Information Broker Function: Because the Information Broker functions in R.E.S.C.U.M.E. will, in many cases, be distributed among multiple entities it will be important for participating agencies to determine roles and responsibilities when implementing R.E.S.C.U.M.E. 1. Compliance with HIPAA Privacy Requirements: R.E.S.C.U.M.E. applications - in particular, EVAC - may handle personal health information (PHI), and must be certain to be consistent with the privacy requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). 3. Data and Message Standards for Emergency Communication: The RESP-STG application must be able to integrate data from multiple sources and immediately disseminate appropriate messages and warning to multiple agencies. The EVAC application will need to integrate medical records and other data from a variety of sources. Consequently, the need for data and messaging standards to facilitate inter-agency and inter-jurisdictional emergency information sharing is apparent. 4. INC-ZONE Implementation: The INC-ZONE application will require small but important changes to the procedures that response crews follow when they arrive at incident scenes, and also may have implications for incident/work zone signage design standards. Recommendations for addressing these policy issues include development of guidance materials for state and local agencies, and completion of planned cost-benefit studies and privacy impact assessments."--Technical report documentation page.
