Publisher's Synopsis
The relative combat power that military forces can generate against an adversary is constrained by a nation's capability to plan for, gain access to, and deliver forces and materiel to required points of application. The joint logistics enterprise (JLEnt) projects and sustains a logistically ready joint force by leveraging Department of Defense (DOD), interagency, nongovernmental agencies, multinational, and industrial resources. The identification of established coordination frameworks, agreements, and other connections creates an efficient and effective logistic network to support the mission. Operations are distributed and conducted rapidly and simultaneously across multiple joint operations areas (JOAs), within a single theater, or across boundaries of more than one geographic combatant commander (GCC). These operations can involve a variety of military forces, other governmental organizations, and multinational forces. The joint logistics environment is the sum of conditions and circumstances that affect logistics.
