Welcome to Joint EUCOM / AFRICOM Deployment and Distribution Conference 2018. We hope your stay and participation is

enjoyable and productive. EUCOM and AFRICOM, along with NCSI, are here to support you during your conference.

This year’s theme “Optimizing Transportation Partnerships” represents the future of logistics in the upcoming years. The “new

normal” for logistics support operations will require us to adapt to the challenges of diverse constraints while adapting to the

ever-changing geopolitical environment. In order to be successful, we need to synchronize and harmonize our enterprise

efforts spanning the many fronts of joint, interagency, partner and host nations, non-governmental organizations, and

commercial industry. Our program represents an exciting combination of senior leader events, information panels, and working

groups oriented to our theme. It includes senior-level speakers from

EUCOM, AFRICOM, SDDC and Industry providing insight into their

strategic vision.

There are also new initiatives from EUCOM, AFRICOM, U.S.

TRANSCOM and focus areas on the agenda, deployment and

distribution to further expand our view and enterprise perspectives

regarding current best practices, innovative technologies, and

forward, adaptive thinking that will help us improve and overcome

the challenges and changes.

Combined together, this year’s agenda should add the right texture

to the professional discussions, ideas, and networking needed

to strengthen our logistics team supporting Europe and Africa,

enhance our situational awareness, and build the integrated,

resilient adaptive networks needed to ensure success.

As we know, it is the professional discussions and working groups

throughout the week where the real value of this conference is

realized. We believe your investment of time and contributions will

be well rewarded during this inspiring week. We look forward to

meeting each of you - Thank you for your time and interest.

Adapting to Challenge and Change…that’s our focus this week and

the year to come!

This year’s JEADDC is focused on increasing and improving both relationships and information flow across the European and African distribution enterprise. Spanning both continents across all stakeholders we hope to better understand stakeholder operations models, define our shared deployment and distribution opportunities, and to collaboratively seek improved collaboration between DoD, industry and interagency.

The agenda will facilitate this by focusing on:

• Stakeholderinformationflowanddialogue

• Deploymentanddistributiondiscussions tofurtherexpandourenterpriseperspective

• Innovativetechnologiesandbestpractices

• Forward,adaptivethinkingthatwillhelpus improveandovercomethechallengesand changesthroughouttheregion.

USEUCOM IS ENGAGED, POSTURED, AND READY

WITH FORWARD DEPLOYED U.S. FORCES. WE WILL

ENABLE AND EXECUTE A FULL RANGE OF MILITARY MISSIONS IN CONCERT

WITH OUR INDISPENSABLE EUROPEAN ALLIES AND

PARTNERS TO SECURE U.S. NATIONAL INTERESTS AND

SUPPORT A EUROPE WHOLE, FREE, AND AT PEACE.

The U.S. European Command (EUCOM) was established 1 August 1952 to provide “unified command and authority” over all U.S. forces in Europe. For several years after World War II, the services

maintained separate commands in Europe that reported directly to the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

America’s rapid post-war demobilization, followed by the end of the occupation of Germany in 1949, led many to question the U.S. commitment to the defense of Western Europe against the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Providing for the common defense was a great concern, especially after the Berlin Crisis of 1948-49 when the Soviet Union blocked access to the divided city. The U.S. and United Kingdom responded with an unprecedented airlift. In 1949 the allies established the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), but did little else to meet their new commitments.

In June 1950 the United States and its allies were jolted into action by the surprise attack on South Korea by Communist North Korea. Early in 1951 NATO established Allied Command Europe and the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE). General Dwight D.

Eisenhower was called from retirement to become the first Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR).

The U.S. continued to defend Korea, but simultaneously sent massive reinforcements to Europe to deter the USSR from similar aggression there. Between 1950 and 1953, U.S. military manning in Europe grew from 120,000 to over 400,000. U.S. Air Forces in Europe grew from three groups, with 35,000 personnel, to eleven wings with 136,000 personnel. The Sixth Fleet in the MEDITERRANEAN doubled to more than forty warships. U.S. Army Europe grew from one infantry division and three constabulary regiments to two corps with five divisions (including two mobilized National Guard divisions). In November 1950 the Army activated a new field army, Seventh Army, at Patch Barracks in Stuttgart Germany. The Army activated the 10th Special Forces Group at Fort Bragg in 1952 and deployed it to Bad Töltz in November 1953 for unconventional warfare missions behind the Iron Curtain.

To provide for national command within NATO, command within NATO, and to help control this build-up of forces, General Eisenhower proposed a separate command for all U.S. forces in Europe. Because the

PARTNERSHIPS, AND COUNTERS TRANSNATIONAL

THREATS IN ORDER TO PROTECT AND DEFEND THE

UNITED STATES.

senior U.S. commander would continue as Supreme Allied Commander Europe, Eisenhower recommended giving “a maximum of delegated authority” to a four-star deputy.

Eisenhower returned to the United States just as the new command was established. The first Commander-in-Chief Europe (CINCEUR) was General Matthew B. Ridgway, USA, former commander of Eighth Army and the Far East Command during the Korean War. His deputy was General Thomas T. Handy, USA, former Army deputy chief of staff under General George C. Marshall, USA, and commander of U.S. Army, Europe.

Headquarters EUCOM initially shared the I.G. Farben Building in Frankfurt, Germany, with Headquarters U.S. Army, Europe. In 1954 the headquarters moved to Camp des Loges, a French Army base west of Paris and a short distance from SHAPE. There, EUCOM prepared plans for the defense of Western Europe within the NATO framework against the Soviet Union and other Warsaw Pact countries.

EUCOM used the Military Assistance Program to help its NATO partners build their military capabilities, including the German Bundeswehr after 1955. In 1955 EUCOM established a Support Operations Command Europe, soon renamed Support Operations Task Force Europe

(currently title: SOCEUR) for special operations missions. EUCOM also assumed responsibility for command

and control of U.S. nuclear forces. In 1961 EUCOM began operating an airborne command post, Operation SILK PURSE.

During the Cold War period (1946-1991), EUCOM focused on the USSR, but did not deny support to out-of-sector operations; in 1958 it supported a major contingency operation to Lebanon. But the USSR once again became a flashpoint when in 1961 the USSR erected the Berlin wall to stop the hemorrhage of people fleeing Communist rule.

Sharp policy disagreements emerged within NATO in the early 1960s. In 1966 France demanded the removal of all U.S. and NATO headquarters and forces from French soil. The following year, SHAPE moved to Mons, Belgium, while Headquarters EUCOM moved to Patch Barracks. Headquarters Seventh Army, which had been located at Patch Barracks, moved to Heidelberg where it merged with Headquarters U.S. Army, Europe. At Patch Barracks, EUCOM renovated the buildings, built a new operations center, modernized communications infrastructure and improved the airfield.

Cold War crises continued, including the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia by Warsaw Pact countries. The readiness of U.S. forces in Europe slowly declined due

10


to the Vietnam War and balance of payment problems. Troop strength in Europe fell from over 400,000 in 1953 to 286,708 in 1970. In the 1970s, the Cold War appeared to mellow into an era of détente and negotiations, but tensions remained high as both sides modernized their conventional and nuclear forces; the USSR deployed SS-20 intermediate-range ballistic missiles into Eastern Europe and in 1979 invaded Afghanistan. NATO responded with a “two-track” decision to step up negotiations while deploying U.S. intermediate-range Pershing II missiles and ground-launched cruise missiles to counter the Soviet threat. In addition, force protection concerns in Europe grew as terrorist groups such as the Red Army Faction and the Red Brigades targeted U.S. facilities and personnel with bombings, kidnappings, and assassinations. Palestinian groups brazenly conducted terror operations in Europe, including the kidnapping and subsequent deaths of 11 Israeli athletes during the 1972 Munich Olympic Games.

After the end of the Vietnam War in 1975, U.S. forces in Europe grew to over 350,000. In 1980, the Department of the Navy added a U.S. Marine Corps command in Europe. Initially called Fleet Marine Force Europe, the command became Commander, Marine Forces Europe (MARFOREUR) in 1983. The 1983 Unified Command Plan (UCP) transferred responsibility for the Middle East from EUCOM to a new combatant command, U.S. Central Command, but left responsibility for the “confrontation states” of Israel, Lebanon and Syria to EUCOM. The plan also formally assigned EUCOM responsibility of Africa, south of the Sahara. The Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986,

together with a powerful Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Colin L. Powell, USA, further strengthened the role of combatant commanders. This Act also established the U.S. Special Operations Command, which led to the activation of a new sub-unified command, Special Operations Command, Europe. The USSR began its first steps towards dissolution in 1985 when Mikahil Gorbachev succeeded Konstantin Chernenko as General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party. A mere six years later, on 25 December 1991, the Russian ensign replaced the Soviet Union’s infamous hammer and sickle. The timing of events proved fortuitous since the Department of Defense’s operational focus had shifted to the USCENTCOM area of responsibility (AOR); USEUCOM was a supporting command in DESERT STORM. The 2002 UCP assigned responsibility for Russia to EUCOM, but this had not always been the case. The Joint Staff maintained AOR-control over the USSR during the Cold War and did so more than a decade after the USSR’s dissolution in 1991.

In the 1990’s, USEUCOM reached out to the emerging democracies through programs such as the Joint Contact Team Program, NATO Partnership for Peace, and the National Guard Bureau State Partnership Program. It was also active in peace and stability operations in the Balkans, including Bosnia, Macedonia and Kosovo. But it had to conduct these new missions with fewer assigned forces as its strength fell below 120,000.

Immediately after the terrorist attacks against New York and Washington on 11 September 2001, USEUCOM

11


provided major forces for operations in Afghanistan and Iraq and stepped up its efforts to protect U.S. interests in Europe and Africa. Subsequent terrorist attacks in the EUCOM Theater in Casablanca, Madrid, London, and Algiers made it clear that terrorism demanded a collective response. To cope with the complex composition of the terrorist threat, the headquarters stood up the USEUCOM Plans and Operations Center (EPOC) in 2003, a fusion center of intelligence, logistics, planning, and manpower functions.

Between 2007-2008, USEUCOM and its components also worked to build partner-capacity for peacekeeping operations and launched Operation Enduring Freedom-Trans Sahara (OEF-TS) in 2007 while continuing to provide rotational forces to Afghanistan and Iraq. USEUCOM also conducted or supported operations such a NOMAD SHADOW, BURNT FROST, NOBLE ENDEAVOR, and ASSURED DELIVERY, the latter a sustainment air bridge to support humanitarian assistance operation following Russia’s 2008 attack on Georgia.

In 2006, the Joint Staff tasked USEUCOM with taking the lead in standing up a new unified command that would assume control of Africa. Prior to reaching full operational capability, the unit was titled USAFRICOM, a subordinate unified command of USEUCOM. On 1 October 2008, U.S. Africa Command

(USAFRICOM) stood up, as directed by the 2008 UCP. In 2011, when the Libyan Civil War erupted, USEUCOM was the supporting command to USAFRICOM as it led Operation ODYSSEY DAWN. However, since USAFRICOM did not have its own component commands, USEUCOM, US. Air Forces Europe; U.S. Army Europe, and U.S. Marine Forces Europe provided manpower augmentation, contingency planning, communications connectivity and infrastructure, logistical support from bases within USEUCOM’s AOR, and basing/ overflight rights.

For more than half a century USEUCOM, as either an element of the Joint Staff or of NATO, has helped keep the peace in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. As it transforms for the future, it will continue to meet new challenges.

united StAteS AfricA commAnd

The United States Africa Command, also known as U.S. AFRICOM, is one of nine Unified Combatant Commands of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). As one of six that are regionally focused,

it is devoted solely to Africa. AFRICOM is responsible to the Secretary of Defense for U.S. military relations with 54 African countries. AFRICOM better enables the Department of Defense to work with other elements of the U.S. government and others to achieve a more stable environment where political and economic growth can take place. AFRICOM is committed to supporting U.S. government objectives through the delivery and sustainment of effective security cooperation programs that assist African nations build their security capacity to enable them to better provide for their own defense. The command was created by presidential order in 2007 and was officially activated October 1, 2007. It became fully operational 1 October 2008, with General William E. “Kip” Ward serving as its first commander. U.S. Army General Carter F. Ham became the second commander of U.S. AFRICOM on 9 March 2011.

COMManDer’S Intent Our purpose is twofold: 1) to protect the U.S. homeland, American citizens abroad, and our national interests from transnational threats emanating from Africa; and 2) through sustained engagement, to enable our African partners to create a security environment that promotes stability, improved governance, and continued development. Should preventive or enabling efforts fail, we must always be prepared to prevail against any individual or organization that poses a threat to the United States, our national interests, or our allies and partners.

AFRICOM’s activities, plans, and operations are centered on two guiding principles:

• A safe, secure, and stable Africa is in our national interest.

• Over the long run, it will be Africans who will best be able to address African security challenges and that AFRICOM most effectively advances U.S. security interests through focused security engagement with our African partners.

Our most important military tasks are:

• Deter or defeat al-Qaida and other violent extremist organizations operating in Africa and deny them safe haven.

• Strengthen the defense capabilities of key African states and regional partners. Through enduring and tailored engagement, help them build defense institutions and military forces that are capable, sustainable, subordinate to civilian authority, respectful of the rule of law, and committed to the well-being of their fellow citizens. Increase the capacity of key states to contribute to regional and international military activities aimed at preserving peace and combating transnational threats to security.

• Ensure U.S. access to and through Africa in support of global requirements.

• Be prepared, as part of a whole of government approach, to help protect Africans from mass atrocities. The most effective way in which we do this is through our sustained engagement with African militaries.

• When directed, provide military support to humanitarian assistance effort.

lIStenIng tO OUr PartnerS An important part of this approach is that we learn from our African partners what is important to them. We listen carefully to their concerns through hundreds of interactive activities, such as conferences, exercises, training, and familiarization programs. Our African partners have expressed four common, defense-oriented goals that are consistent with U.S. interests and AFRICOM objectives:

• That they have capable and accountable military forces that perform professionally and with integrity.

• That their forces are supported and sustained by effective, legitimate, and professional security institutions.

• That they have the capability to exercise the means nationally and regionally to dissuade, deter, and defeat transnational threats.

• That they have the capacity to increase their support to international peacekeeping efforts.

Inter-agenCy PerSOnnel USAFRICOM recognizes it is part of a diverse U.S. government interagency team that reflects the talents, expertise, and capabilities within the entire U.S. government. AFRICOM was the first regional command to integrate from its inception advisors and experts from other U.S. government agencies. As of December 2010, the command has four Senior Foreign Service (SFS) officers in key positions as well as more than 30 personnel

from 13 U.S. government departments and agencies serving in leadership, management, and staff positions. Some of the agencies represented are Departments of State, Treasury, and Commerce; U.S. Agency for International Development; and the U.S. Coast Guard. The most senior is a career State Department official who serves as the deputy to the commander for civil-military activities. Members of these agencies bring invaluable expertise to help the command ensure its plans and activities complement those of other U.S. government programs and fit within the context of U.S. foreign policy.

COMPOnentS, SUB-UnIfIeD COMManD, anD COMBIneD JOInt taSk fOrCe AFRICOM’s subordinate commands (listed below) set the conditions for success of our security cooperation programs and activities on the continent. They perform detailed planning, provide essential command and control, establish and sustain relationships with our partners, and provide timely assessments.

afrICOM PerSOnnel U.S. Africa Command completed fiscal year 2010 with approximately 2,000 assigned personnel, which includes military, civilian, contractor, and host nation employees. About 1,500 work at the command’s main headquarters in Stuttgart. Others are assigned to AFRICOM units at MacDill Air Force Base, FL, and RAF Molesworth, England, along with a small number of officers posted at U.S. embassies and diplomatic missions in Africa to coordinate Defense Department programs within the host nation.

SeCUrIty COOPeratIOn – the COrnerStOne Of OUr engageMent USAFRICOM’s Theater Security Cooperation programs remain the cornerstone of our sustained security engagement with African partners. A few of our programs and activities that address our three primary capacity building functions include building operational capacity, building institutional capacity, and developing human capital.

INFORMATION PAPERECJA

20 Oct 17 SUBJECT: Meetings with Industry

Purpose. DoD members are encouraged to engage with industry partners, subject to ethics rules. This paper details pre-meeting information gathering, pre-meeting coordination with other interested parties, and ethics guidelines related to meeting with industry personnel.

1. Pre-Meeting Information Gathering. Before the meeting, industry personnel should providethe DoD member with the following information:

a. The topic for discussion, including read-ahead materials.b. A list of current contracts, upcoming/ongoing competitive procurements, active proposals,

or litigation the company has pending before the DoD.c. Will the discussion involve a contract for which a solicitation has been released?d. Confirmation that the contractor is not a former senior DoD civilian or retired GO/FO who

departed the agency within the last year, or worked on or had supervisory responsibilities for the DoD on a particular matter that will be part of the discussion.

e. Confirmation that the contractor has not asked to receive any special treatment for protocol purposes (e.g. VIP visitor treatment).

f. Is the contractor requesting a private discussion without any other staff members present?

2. Pre-Meeting Coordination. Prior to meeting with industry personnel, consider the following:

a. What other directorate(s) should send a representative to attend this meeting? b. Should the meeting include or be referred to an action officer, a subject matter expert, or

a contracting officer’s representative?

3. General Guidelines. Throughout this process, keep the following in mind:

a. Before the meeting, determine an agenda that clearly identifies the topics/issues that are open or off-limits for discussion.

b. Ensure any release of information does not give a competitive advantage to a particular contractor. Do not release “inside information” that is not otherwise available to the public or relevant DoD contractors.

c. Decline meetings with contractors competing for a contract once a solicitation has been released.

d. If you are unwilling to meet with similarly situated contractors, decline this meeting. e. Generally avoid private, one-on-one discussions with contractors regarding their business

and relationship with the DoD. Have a member of your staff attend the meeting and take notes.f. Generally avoid asking contractors for follow-up information. The meeting should not be

the basis for further action and should not unintentionally solicit formal proposals. Do not make any commitments or promises that could bind the government. Do not offer assistance or advice, as these could be interpreted as requests to take action.

g. Do not participate in any official matter that will have a direct and predictable effect on your personal, family, or business financial interests, or will create an improper appearance.

h. Generally, avoid/decline gifts from contractors.
