CUSTOM SOLUTIONS

Today’s armed services and defense agencies are faced

with continued and globally dispersed operations. The

necessity for materiel readiness and reliable logistics

support are critical to maintaining the effectiveness and

safety of our Armed Forces.

Across the Logistics community the challenge exists to

sustain forward operating Commands and Organizations

with limited resources. Policy leaders are working diligently

to create strategies that address the warfighter’s needs and

tasking Defense Support Agencies to do more with less.

Logistics has evolved significantly since initial operations

began in Iraq and Afghanistan. Efficient use of resources

and process improvement technologies are no longer

simply prudent, but necessary for continued sustainment.

Everything from the precise mobility of personnel and

materiel to extended asset tracking at forward bases must

be leveraged to meet the needs of the Department.
