Q

Explain in writing the sustainment pipeline concept.

A

A logistics pipeline begins with the supplier and ends with the customer. In between, there are materials to be managed, inventory to be controlled, customers to be served, and products to be transported. Each logistics pipeline is connected to other pipelines to form a network. Sustainment is the provision of personnel, logistics, and other support required to maintain and prolong operations or combat to the successful accomplishment of or revision to the mission or the national objective. It is made up of assets deployed as accompanying supplies and follow-on supplies as required by the Joint Force Commander’s concept operations. Sustainment moves via theatre distribution and intra-theatre lift.
