Publisher's Synopsis
This paper describes a framework for the Department of Defense (DoD) logistics system that is intended as a primer for logistics education. The framework functions as a tool providing a broad overarching structure that describes DoD logistics and its influence on military operations. It provides the reader with meaningful insights that may shape planning and facilitate more informed decision making. The intended audience is field grade officers or DoD civilian equivalents enrolled in joint professional military education institutions. The framework considers four areas to help the reader think differently about logistics -- integrated systems, core components, levels of operation, and structure.
