  1. CJSL UPDATE To the NDIA Logistics Committee LTG C.V. Christianson (USA, Ret) Director, Center for Joint and Strategic Logistics 15 Oct 2010

  2. Agenda • Background • Why we’re here… • What We’re Learning • Learning is changing • Way Forward • JPME I (Log) • JPME II (Log) • Pedagogy • Curriculum

  3. Why We’re Here (1/2) The Center for Joint & Strategic Logistics (CJSL) exists to shape the developmentof logisticians proficient in applying logistics support across the national security enterprise. Shape…no directive authority over Service or Joint programs Development…includes training, education, experience, coaching, mentoring and reflection

  4. Why We’re Here (2/2) • Recent Survey Results* • Less than 28% of joint logisticians feel they have received adequate education • Less than 30% of logisticians feel they have adequate skills to conduct logistics operations with MN and/or IA partners • Supervisors reported that only 11% of log action officers have received adequate joint log education/training * JLETE Survey, August 2009

  5. Our Approach - Strategic Goals KNOWLEDGE; Create a useful body of knowledge serving the profession of logistics as the foundation from which effective development grows LEARNING; Influence the logistics learning continuum to produce logisticians that have the best opportunity for success in both contemporary and emerging environments LEADERSHIP; Enable logistics leaders to effectively plan, organize and control logistics capabilities across the national security enterprise ORGANIZATIONS; Influence the effectiveness of organizations to achieve unity of effort in the delivery of logistics outcomes

  6. What We’re Learning (1/2) • Customer-defined learning outcomes unclear • Not sure we know what those “hiring” logisticians are looking for… • Not sure we have established effective feedback mechanisms to keep curricula linked to supported community needs… • Agreement on learning requirements does not exist • Determine what logisticians/non-logisticians need to “know” about joint logistics… • Determine when they need to “know”… • Learning is changing • Social networking is part of the learning environment… • Students value peer evaluations over that of instructors… • Blended environment offers opportunity

  7. What We’re Learning (2/2) • JPME I (Log) – The Operational Art • Limited ability to synthesize planning for joint and MN force sustainment operations – repeated weakness • JPME II (Log) – Strategic Leadership • Limited understanding of the strategic logistics processes, organizations and resources that enable the Nation to project and sustain military power • …the nexus of resources, readiness and operational requirements at the strategic level. • Pedagogy • Limited, to no, use of simulations, case studies, exercises and “gaming” in current learning environment… • Limited investment in faculty development…

  8. Where We Want to Go (1/4) A PME-based Joint Logistics Learning Framework • JPME I (Log)… • Focus on knowledge requirements for joint force J4s and their team – What is critical to success? • Joint logistics environment • Joint logistics planning • Joint logistics management/control • Case Study… • Use the force reception process to build an understanding of Joint Operations and the Joint Operational Planning Process • Delivery: • Two, 90-minute sessions, with large plenary and small group break-outs • Instructors use presentation materials with hard-copy hand-outs. • Tested at Naval War College, Sept 2010; results pending…

  9. Where We Want to Go (2/4) A PME-based Joint Logistics Learning Framework • JPME II (Log)… • Focus on the intersection of strategic resourcing, life cycle readiness and operational outcomes • Linking the NSS to resources • Aligning resources, readiness and operational outcomes • Supply Chain Management Concentration… • Curriculum enhancements include lessons on resourcing national security • Possible ICAF Elective…”Resourcing National Readiness” • The “business” of logistics – analyzing costs, revenues and operating results (working capital fund management) • Financial practices and principles to support readiness outcomes • Outcome = effective resource decisions in an environment of constrained resources

  10. Where We Want to Go (3/4) A PME-based Joint Logistics Learning Framework • Pedagogy… • Develop case studies to drive the learning outcomes we desire • MRAP, Working Capital Funds, Supply Chain Management, Industrial Base…Your ideas/help needed here! • Interagency, coalition operations… • Create blended learning environments to enhance learning • Establish gaming as a component of logistics learning • Explore on-line learning as part of the learning environment • Invest in faculty as the most critical element to creating effective learning • Explore summer/sabbatical programs for logistics faculty • Establish logistics faculty seminar opportunities

  11. Where We Want to Go (4/4) A PME-based Joint Logistics Learning Framework • Curriculum… • Forge a learning consensus across defense logistics leadership… • Develop a curriculum guide for faculty… • Incorporate joint logistics learning requirements into school fabric • Not just more added to the plate • Influence the OPMEP… • Present joint logistics learning outcomes to J7 for inclusion in policy document • Create a joint curriculum accreditation capability

  12. NDIA and CJSL • Industry involvement in “developmental” activities essential… • Speaking/participating at schools like ICAF • Helping to build stronger operational partnerships • Mentorship and candid counsel • Sharing best practices / experience • Industry voice – continual improvement to the defense supply chain • Legislative efforts – what’s best for the community • Educational component of industry forums • Contribute to the body of knowledge – work in progress

  13. Summary • Continue to define and validate joint logistics learning requirements… • Engagements lead to findings • Develop case studies to support JPME curriculum • Develop courses to meet learning outcomes • Introduce serious gaming into the logistics learning environment • Recommend curriculum changes through the OPMEP and directly with appropriate school faculty • Develop a knowledge management–based website to link logisticians & their knowledge across the enterprise
