Q

What is the definition of the Strategic level of logistic support?

[128.5]

A

Strategic: The level of war at which a nation often as a member of a group of nations determines national or multinational (alliance or coalition) security objectives and guidance, and develops and uses national resources to accomplish those specific objectives. Some examples of activities at this level would be: national and multinational military objectives, sequence initiatives, defined limits and risks assessments for the use of military and other instruments of national power, the development of global plans or theater war plans which aid in achieving these objectives, and military forces provided in accordance with strategic plans.

Q

What is the definition of the Operational level of logistic support?

[128.5]

A

Operational: The level of war at which campaigns and major operations are planned, conducted, and sustained to accomplish strategic objectives within the theater or areas of operations. Activities at this level link tactics and strategy by establishing objectives needed to accomplish sequencing events that achieve the operational objectives. These activities differ from tactics because they provide a broader dimension of time and or space to ensure the logistic and administrative support of tactical forces is successfully met.

Q

How is the Transportation functional area of tactical logistics defined?

[128.6]

A

Transportation: Moving from one location to another. The transportation system includes the means and the controls for managing means of transportation. The transportation sub-functions are generally applicable to all levels of support, although the mean, methods, controls, and management procedures employed at each level will vary. Although transportation is discussed as a logistic function, at the tactical level, transportation is a combat support function. Combat organizations use organic, attached, and supporting transportation assets for tactical movements.

Q

How is the General Engineering functional area of tactical logistics defined?

[128.6]

A

General Engineering: Distinct from Combat Engineering. General Engineering is typically considered a LCE function (i.e., Engineer support Battalion), while combat engineering is considered a combat support function (i.e., Combat Engineer Battalion). General engineering assets at the tactical level may be used to reinforce or augment combat engineer organizations in specific situations for mobility, counter mobility, or survivability tasks. These assets are normally in general support of the MAGTF for a wide range of tasks. These tasks often involve more detailed planning and preparation and higher standards of design and construction than typical combat engineer tasks.

A

43
Q

How is FLEXIBILITY in FEARSSS defined?

[128.7]

A

Flexibility: Flexibility is the ability to adapt logistics structure and procedures to changing situations, missions, and concepts of operation. Logistics plans and operations must be flexible to achieve both responsiveness and economy. The principle of flexibility also includes the concepts of alternative planning, anticipation, reserve assets, redundancy, forward support of phased logistics, and centralized control with decentralized operations.

44
Q

How is ECONOMY in FEARSSS defined?

[128.7]

A

Economy: Economy is providing sufficient support at the leaset cost without impairing mission accomplishment or jeopardizing lives. At some level and to some degree, resources are always limited. A commander applies economy by prioritizing limited resources and allocating them sufficiently to achieve success without imbalance or inordinate excess.

45
Q

How is ATTAINABILITY in FEARSSS defined?

[128.7]

A

Attainability: Attainability (or adequacy) is the ability to provide the minimum, essential supplies and services required to begin combat operations. The commander’s logistics staff developed the concept of logistics support, completes the logistics estimate, and initiates resource identification on the basis of the supported commanders requirements, priorities and apportionment. An operation should not beginn until minimum essential levels of support are on hand.

46
Q

How is RESPONSIVENESS in FEARSSS defined?

[128.7]

A

Responsiveness: Responsiveness is the right support in the right place at the right time. Among the logistics principles, RESPONSIVENESS IS KEYSTONE. All other principles become irrelevant if logistics support does not support the commander’s concept of operations.

47
Q

How is SIMPLICITY in FEARSSS defined?

[128.7]

A

Simplicity: Simplicity fosters efficiency in both the planning and execution of logistics operations. Mission-type orders and standardized procedures contribute to simplicity. Establishment of priorities and pre-allocation of supplies and services by the support unit can simplify logistics support operations.

48
Q

How is SUSTAINABILITY in FEARSSS defined?

[128.7]

A

Sustainability: Sustainability is the ability to maintain logistics support to all users throughout the area of operations for the duration of the operation. Sustainability focuses the commander’s attention on long-term objectives and capabilities of the force. Long-term support is the greatest challenge for the logistician, who must not only attain the minimum essential materiel levels to initiate combat operations (readiness), but also must maintain those levels for the duration to sustain operations.

49
Q

How is SURVIVABILITY in FEARSSS defined?
[128.7]

A

Survivability: Survivability is the capacity of the organization to protect its forces and resources. Logistics units and installations are high-value targets that must be guarded to avoid presenting the enemy with a critical vulnerability. Since the physical environment typically degrades logistics capabilities rather than destroying them, it must be considered when planning. Survivability may dictate dispersion and decentralization at the expense of economy.

50
Q

What does WRM stand for?

[128.8]

A

War Reserve Materiel (WRM)

51
Q

How is WRM defined?

[128.8]

A

WRM: Mission-essential principal end items, secondary items, and munitions required to attain operational objectives in the scenarios authorized for sustainability planning and other stockade objectives approved for programming in the Defense Planning Guidance. WRM INVENTORIES ARE ACQUIRED DURING PEACETIME. These inventories are flexible, and they provide an expansion capability that can respond to spectrum regional contingencies, while minimizing investment in resources.
