32
Q

How is Supply from the 6 Functional Areas of Tactical Logistics defined?

A

A cyclic process of acquiring and issuing material to supported units. This material may be consumable or durable material, components, and end items.

33
Q

How is Maintenance from the 6 Functional Areas of Tactical Logistics defined?

A

Actions taken to keep material in serviceable conditions and actions required to return material to serviceable conditions.

34
Q

How is Transportation from the 6 Functional Areas of Tactical Logistics defined?

A

Moving from one location to another. The transportation system includes the means and the controls for managing means of transportation.

35
Q

How is General Engineering from the 6 Functional Areas of Tactical Logistics defined?

A

Distinct from Combat Engineering:

36
Q

How is General Engineering from the 6 Functional Areas of Tactical Logistics defined?

A

Distinct from Combat Engineering:
-General Engineering = LCE function
-Combat Engineering = Combat Support Function

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.

37
Q

How is Health Services Support from the 6 Functional Areas of Tactical Logistics defined?

A

Seeks to minimize the effect that wounds, injuries, and disease have on unit effectiveness, readiness, and morale.

HSS is accompanied by a Preventative Medicine program that initially safeguards personnel against potential health risks and by the establishment of a system that provides medical support from the point of wounding, injury, or illness.

38
Q

How is Services from the 6 Functional Areas of Tactical Logistics defined?

A

Provides for the effective administration, management, and employment of military organizations.

Services sub functions are essentially administrative in nature and can include postal, disbursing, information systems, exchange, legal, and graves registration services. These are categorized as either command services, which are services provided to Marines by their individual commands, or LCE services, which are services provided by a LCE unit.

39
Q

What is the acronym for the 7 Principles of Logistics Support?

A

FEARSSS

40
Q

How are the 7 Principles of Logistics Support defined?

A

F - Feasability
E - Economy
A - Attainability
R - Responsiveness
S - Sustainability
S - Survivability
S - Simplicity

41
Q

How is Flexibility defined in the 7 Principles of Logistics Support?

A

Flexibility is the ability to adapt logistics structure and procedures to changing situations, missions, and concepts of operation. Logistics plans and operation 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 operation.

42
Q

How is Economy defined in the 7 Principles of Logistics Support?

A

Providing sufficient support at the least 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.

43
Q

How is Attainability defined in the 7 Principles of Logistics Support?

A

The ability to provide the minimum essential supplies and services required to begin combat operations.

44
Q

How is Responsiveness defined in the 7 Principles of Logistics Support?

A

The right support in the right place at the right time.

Among the logistics principles, responsiveness is the keystone. All other principles become irrelevant if logistics support does not support the commander’s concept of operations.

45
Q

How is Simplicity defined in the 7 Principles of Logistics Support?

A

Simplicity fosters efficiency in both the planning and execution of logistics operation.

Establishment of priorities and pre-allocation of supplies and services by the supported unit can simplify logistics support operations.

46
Q

How is Sustainability defined in the 7 Principles of Logistics Support?

A

The ability to maintain logistics support to all users throughout the area of operation for the duration of the operation.

Sustainability focuses the commander’s attention on long-term objectives and capabilities of the force.

47
Q

How is Survivability defined in the 7 Principles of Logistics Support?

A

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.

48
Q

What is the duration of self supply for a MEU?

A

15 days

49
Q

What is the duration of self supply for a MEB?

A

30 days

50
Q

What is the duration of self supply for a MEF?

A

60 days

51
Q

How is War Reserve Material (WRM) defined?

A

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 response to spectrum regional contingencies, while minimizing investment in resources.

52
Q

How is a Maritime Prepositioning Force defined?

A

Reflects brigade-sized unit deployment/MEF employment utilizing Military Sealift Command (MSC) 13 chartered ships to preposition necessary supplies and equipment.

53
Q

How is a MPSRON defined?

A

Several MSC chartered ships of various capabilities deploy to form a single maritime prepositioning ship squadron (MPSRON)

54
Q

What determines the equipment and supplies administratively embarked in each MPSRON?

A

Equipment and supplies administratively embarked in each MPSRON are based on the T/E, individual materiel readiness lists, and/or the tables of allowances for units assigned to the MPF’s geographical responsibility.

55
Q

How long is an MPRON designed to sustain on MEF?

A

Each MPSRON is designed to sustain one MEF (MEB)-sized unit for 30 days in most classes of supply.
