Logistics missions

Mission. To perform research, design development, engineering, integrated logistic support, maintenance support, procurement, fabrication, and product assurance of assigned materiel Major Functions. 

Logistics Section Chief The logistics section chief has a mission to ensure that all resources and support required by the other sections are readily available. Responsibilities include maintenance of the environment and procurement of supplies, equipment, and food. Logistics ensures that the operations staff can focus on delivering services. 

While there are significant differences between what is required to drill a well on land and in a marine or offshore environment, the basic mission is very similar. The differences in location conditions, design criteria, logistical considerations and related cost are enormous, hi deepwater, the process can approach the most sophisticated technical operations known to man and an individual well can cost in excess of sixty million dollars, often to be paid early in the project life well before surety of the results of the effort is known. 

Readiness of the logistics system to meet mission requirements under a chemical or biological attack should also be made a priority. The CNO s Deputy Chief of Naval Operations (Logistics) (N4), and the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) should continue to assess biological and chemical threats to their logistics chain and take action to defend essential support as well as to mitigate the consequences in case of an attack. 

Donations, subscriptions, and industry partnerships mainly serve to fund development missions, transitional programs between emergency and development missions, logistic material not otherwise covered by the institutional sponsors, and the operations of the association. 

All organizations must be trained in NBC detection and identification procedures, particularly units with an inherent reconnaissance mission. First aid, and casualty handling, including mass casualty handling, must also be an integrated part of training. NBC contamination, medical, operational, and logistical problems should be evaluated and responded to realistically at all command and staff levels. 

Liquid propulsion is characterized by its high state of development, relatively complicated systems design, capability for repeated operation, long firing times, and of course the propellants employed. Their use has been based on a number of selection criteria, such as the operational mission, performance required, reliability, minimum weight, logistics, economics, availability, maintainability, mobility, and others. 

Logistics is a cross-cutting, multi-disciplinary function covering, according to the AFNOR reference model, no less than 25 trades and 600 activities spread along the value chain. It plays a primary role from day-to-day business to major corporate projects. Its field of operation has widened, its missions have diversified - becoming more complex than before - and its competencies have developed, just as the range of its methods has become more elaborate. This transformation has occurred over the last 15 years and has not yet ended. 

Defense and warfare value networks. The combination of the armed services, government programs, A D, logistics providers, and discrete manufacturers to provide goods and services for the deployment of effective missions. 

Any operational system in order to successfully accomplish its intended mission must rely on effective logistic support that will be available when required. When logistic activity is narrowed down to the supply activity, we can say that the basic elements are focused on providing the necessary supplies (especially spare parts) and services on the proper time for the right money to provide the means to obtain a set of operational requirements. 

Chapter 22 identified two missions for process improvement (1) process evaluation and (2) process redesign. This chapter describes industry-developed process tools that support the first mission, evaluating supply chain processes. The two tools have assembled best practices in SCM. They are products from two SCM business associations, the Supply-Chain Council and the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP), formerly the Council of Logistics Management (CLM). The CSCMP, in the cited quotation, supplies the reason for describing these models. 

To serve as an effective retaliatory deterrent, a chemical stockpile must be able to threaten the vital elements in an enemy s force structure. These include front-line, second and third echelon troops command, control and communications centres airfields logistics facilities and transportation nodes. The deterrent should be flexible, enabling commanders to choose from an array of retaliatory options. It should facilitate chemical strikes with the agent and weapon systems which are appropriate to particular targets and accord with the mission...
