  1. Logistics Planning

  2. Outline • The Different phases of Logistics • Planning for movement • How to work together to complete a plan

  3. LOGISTICS At the end of this period of instruction you should be able: • Know the stages of planning. • To explain the importance of planning Logistics. • Working together to develop a plan • Using past experience to complete a plan

  4. FULL SPECTRUM OPERATIONS • Without logistics, military units cannot be raised or equipped. Without logistics, forces cannot reach the battlefield. Without logistics, weapons go without ammunition, vehicles go without fuel, equipment breaks and stands idle, the sick and wounded go untreated, troops go without food, shelter, and clothing. Thus, logistics establishes limits on what is operationally possible.

  5. Logistics • Phases of Logistic planning • Step 1. Receipt of Mission • Step 2. Mission Analysis • Step 3. Course of Action Development • Step 4. Course of Action Analysis • Step 5. Course of Action Comparison • Step 6. Course of Action Approval • Step 7. Orders Production

  6. PHASES • Receipt of mission • This is when you find out what the mission / exercise is and who is doing it. This will give you the ability to know what you need and why. This phase is where the truly fundamental judgments are made, and the commander, the most experienced person in the organization, should be at the heart of this¾and not merely as the approver of somebody else’s ideas, but as a creative, directing force. At this stage in the process, we see the commander as the chief planner. In small headquarters organizations (such as at the company level), the commander may perform these functions alone. At all echelons, we often see the commander relying on a small group of his most experienced and trusted advisors for input into this process. Even in organizations with large staffs, this type of activity is best performed in small groups.

  7. PHASES • Mission Analysis • By “analyze” we mean evaluating the COA as to feasibility, identifying requirements and potential problems, and working through the implications of the concept. Typical questions to be answered by analysis include: • · Is the COA logistically supportable? • · What are the lift/surveillance/fire support/etc. requirements, and are sufficient assets available? • · Will the successful execution of the COA meet the requirements of the mission?

  8. PHASES • Phase 2 Mission Analysis Continued • · By “operationalize” we mean decomposing the broad concept into executable tasks that can be assigned to subordinates for action, and establishing necessary coordination measures between those separate tasks. Operationalizing includes: • - Devising missions (to include intent) for subordinates. • - Allocating forces and assets to those subordinates. • - Establishing command and support relationships. • - Establishing intermediate objectives and other control measures. • - Working out sequencing and other timing issues. • - Developing supporting functional plans for intelligence collection, logistics, fire • support, etc.

  9. PHASES • Course of Action Development • This is section where you figure out what action you want to take to complete the mission. • This is where everyone in the planning stages has to take their knowledge of logistics into effect.

  10. PHASES • Course of Action Analysis • This is where you go over your plans to make sure they will work properly. This is where war games and prior scenarios come into play. You can take knowledge from prior situations to make a decision.

  11. PHASES • Course of Action Comparison • This phase is where you compare different courses of action. This is where you examine the outcome of the COA. • You take into consideration all aspects and thoughts about your COA to make the best decision you can.

  12. PHASES • Course of Action Approval • This is the phase where all of the planning is finalized. Where you present your COA to the commanding officer for his approval.

  13. PHASES • Orders Production • This phase is the final one. Where you have gone over all possibilities and came to a conclusion of the best COA. This is where all the planning becomes a order and type of action.

  14. Overview • What are the stages of planning? • How would you make the best plan? • Why do you need to have the best plan?
