1 SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT The Ground Pounder s Perspective That Last Tactical Mile is Really Tough Mr. Thomas Edwards thomas.j.edwards@hqda.army.mil Comm: FEB 07

2 A Well Integrated Supply Chain Will Efficiently Provide Good Readiness National supply management ICP CONUS Strategic Distribution Platforms Other Sources of Supply Stock positioned at scheduled nodes Configured loads no break bulk along the way Synchronized, scheduled distribution Vendor Vendor Contract Repair APOE APOD Scheduled theater Distribution High demand NMC items Service items Tactical SSA High demand Shoot-movecommunicate items Unit PLL Maintenance Depot CCP Adequate national inventory ASL/theater replenishment: Air: expensive, small, initially big bulky Surface: big, heavy Low density critical items Non-critical items Scheduled Air and sea channels SPOE SPOD Theater stockage Big, heavy ASL backup at surface replenishment depth Critical, expensive item ASL backup at air replenishment depth Source: RAND

3 Deploying the Army NAPA Store to Support Forward From a standing start to fully operational in days Organic to maintenance or supply companies. SSA vary in size based on lines stocked and workforce Largest carry 8,000 lines and have up to 40 personnel Normally deploy equipment & parts by sea and troops arrive in time to unload and move forward Normally Parts stored in mobility containers in permanent locations Many OIF SSAs directed to leave parts stocks behind Started war with new issues requiring location work and new computers Each manages business with automated tools Led by Lieutenants or Warrant Officers Normally follow combat forces by 1-2 days. Some elements may move early. Set up in buildings if available, but in OIF often in tents or in the open. Currently there are 25 Army SSAs in Iraq

4 The ASL Structure ASLs support 1,000 end items and 16 critical weapon systems (SORTS) Average size/value for Active Army ASL 1470 lines/$8 million dollars The length of the distribution pipeline directly impacts depth of stock Rapid deployment SSA ASLs normally limited in breadth and depth; constrained by mobility Centralized financial management - (Army Working Capital Fund AWCF) Active Army ASLs - 255; ARNG and USAR normally don t have ASLs DLA managed vs. Army managed 80%-20% stock ratio; value ratio reversed ASL stockage criteria based on cost, priority, essentiality and 24 months of demand data Current metric to measure performance is the ASL Fill Rate a product of Demand Accommodation (breadth) X Demand Satisfaction (depth)

5 What I Hope I Left You With Supply Chain Management in Support of Deployed Operations is Challenging Business - Integrating Numerous Channels into Military Distribution System - Widely Distributed, Fast-Moving, Rapidly Changing Demands - Unrelenting, High Volume, Continuous, Predictable Demands - Piles of Serviceable and Unserviceable Materiel Awaiting Processing - Bad Guys with IEDs and Weapons Solutions Aplenty - Tough Job Is Picking the Right Mix to Meet the Mission - Working Cooperatively and Collaboratively Is Not Easy

6 Battle Command Sustainment Support System (BCS3) Provides the Joint Commander a View of Current TAV / ITV BCS3 in use today by Army and USMC Deployment/Redeployment/RSOI Tracking through RFITV technology LOGSTAT Reporting Process simplified through an automated process from maneuver BN level Convoy Tracking through the use of satellite-based tracking devices (MTS, etc.) Commodity Management by querying any RIC/supply point Simplifying Report Process BCS3 by briefing directly from the system and the ability to share /interface with higher HQ

7 Providing Joint Battle Command information across the Spectrum of operations in any environment Theater BCS3 provides actionable logistics information to Joint commanders at all echelons Brigade and above CFLCC Command Center BCS3 Course of Action In-Transit Visibility Where are my parts? BCS3 has a simulation tool that allows the user to project supply consumption for a given COA by event or across time. This feature assists in training, planning, and execution. Can I logistically support this course of action? BCS3 provides a map-centric view of inbound vehicles/ cargo that are equipped with movement tracking devices. Tactical Logistics Reporting BCS3 gives the commander the latest available status of critical weapon systems, fuel, ammunition, and personnel. What can I put into the fight and when?
