Logistics Readiness CenterLogistics Readiness Center
• A coordinating center, located in CLR 15 S-3 to:– Synchronize intermediate supply and maintenance– Prioritize resources and effort
• Serves as single C2 node for MAGTF for intermediate logistics support– Command and Control logistics “fires”
• Optimizes intermediate support capabilities with operational requirements
• Evaluates and prioritizes intermediate support capabilities and posture IOT ensure alignment with MAGTF demand
• Integrates intermediate maintenance and supply with transportation and distribution

• Given advances in information technology, 1st MLG has expanded the concept of SMU Reach-back to incorporate those functions which can be executed in CONUS to support global operations
• Functions which were once executed forward and have now transitioned to CONUS include:– Processing Unit Warfighter Support– Posts reports daily– Stock replenishment– Stock control– Validation of financial transactions
• The Reach-back process has undergone a proof-of-concept in OEF

Since August 2012, the Supply Management Unit (SMU) FWD has delivered seamless intermediate supply support (capacity & production management) using reach-back operations. This concept has been
successfully transitioned and executed by both I and II MEF without degrading support to FWD units throughout the RC(SW) AO. To date both I and II MEF have leveraged technology and supply expertise
in order to meet all FWD multi-class sustainment requirements

Using Unit to Reach-back Using Unit to Reach-back RelationshipRelationship
Using Unit Supply CONUS Reach-back
• Using unit supply requisitions CL II, IIIP, IV, IX
• Using unit supply procedural assistance
• Supply using unit management reports
• Processes using unit requisition against SMU (Fwd) stock. Fill or pass to Source of Supply
• Using unit customer service supply assistance embedded in reach-back
• Reach-back posts reports daily
• Forward stock replenishment buys conducted by reach-back
• Stock Control reports management ISO Fwd inventory conducted by reach-back
•Validate financial transactions for all forward deployed Marine units

In-Theater Supply Function Execution
Theater Supply Plt. Functions
1. Provide walk-thrus to support immediate customer demands
2. Using unit supply assistance3. Courier collect for processing at
CONUS Reachback
1. Pick using unit requisitions processed at the Reachback
2. Stowing incoming inventory purchased by Reachback
3. Cyclical weekly inventories
1. Distribute materiel to all RCSW forces
2. Receive all inbound cargo (air and ground)
3. Limited P3 capability (personal effects)

Reach-Back EfficienciesReach-Back Efficiencies
• Sustained transparent level of support to the MAGTF• Fill rate remains ~ 68%• Readiness 95%
• Decreased Theater Footprint• Assists FML• Deployed personnel cost savings
• Enterprise adaptable• MCEITS• Transition between MEF’s

With the exception of storage, if SMU Reach-back is adopted in its entirety the SMU will never
require forward-deployment
UNCLASS
Lessons LearnedLessons Learned
• Logistics Readiness Center– Synchronization and unified focus– Up and out focus enables better analysis and
coordination– Provides an intermediate supply advocate within CLR
HQ
• Intermediate Supply Reach-back– Proof-of-concept successful for OEF MAGTF– SASSY vs GCSS-MC
• Intra theater asset visibility• Document Management
12 of 14
UNCLASS
Way AheadWay Ahead
• Logistics Readiness Center– Continue to analyze efficiency data including fill rates/repair cycle time– Incorporate into future exercises and deployments– Seek to apply this concept to future deploying MAGTFs– Incorporate into CLR-X5 restructuring efforts/formal incorporation into
the structure
• Intermediate Supply Reach-back – Incorporate into exercises and deployed operations– Seek to apply this concept to future deploying MAGTFs– Continue to integrate with GCSS-MC– Codify into USMC concepts and logistics doctrine

• Total T/O Reduction: ~200• Issues:
– Several sections are too top heavy; requires grade reductions
– All 3381 Food Service billets were removed and replaced with regular supply Marines. Rations platoon needs at least (5) 3381s for their technical knowledge
– Cuts to 3043s and 3051s were significant (~25%) but manageable
• ~10 BICs still need deconfliction with Maint Bns and CLCs

• Potential annual personnel cost savings of >$1M– Rank decrease savings: $ 2,740K– Rank increase costs: - $ 248K
NET manpower cost savings: $ 2,492K
• *Based on base pay and BAH only for Camp Pendleton – savings would increase if total compensation (e.g. medical, retirement, etc.) were included
• *All ranks assumed to be married with dependents – savings would increase if we assumed barracks occupancy for junior Marines
