- 0:00welcome to this pre-study presentation
- 0:02prior to the nodefco nato logistic
- 0:04training
- 0:06this presentation is one of five short
- 0:08presentations that all are mandatory
- 0:11before applying to the notific online
- 0:14digital training
- 0:15those of you who has completed the
- 0:17online digital training may apply to the
- 0:20one week practical and function oriented
- 0:23nato logistic training at noodific in
- 0:26oslo norway
- 0:28please find more information at our
- 0:30webpage
- 0:32after this introduction you should be
- 0:34able to recall nato's command and
- 0:37control definition of log com
- 0:40lines of support
- 0:42classes of supply
- 0:44push and pull principles
- 0:47perception staging onward movement
- 0:50and some process
- 0:52and generic theater sustainment
- 0:56system joint logistics support group and
- 1:00joint logistics support network
- 1:03national support elements
- 1:05and nato support and procurement agency
- 1:09without going into details the picture
- 1:12shows the most common command and
- 1:14control functions in nato
- 1:16long-con is nato commander control
- 1:19definition that describes the authority
- 1:22granted to innate the commander over
- 1:25assigned logistics units and
- 1:26organizations in the joint operation
- 1:29area
- 1:30included national support elements
- 1:34logcon
- 1:35empowers the commander to synchronize
- 1:37prioritize and integrate their
- 1:41logistic functions and activities to
- 1:43accomplish the joint theatre mission
- 1:47globcon do not cover any classes of
- 1:49supply only logistic personnel and
- 1:52equipment if supplies are involved it
- 1:56will be established an agreement
- 1:58containing both what kind of supplies
- 2:00and how these supplies will be
- 2:02reimbursed
- 2:05experience
- 2:06has shown that few member nations agree
- 2:09to be under lock-on in a nato operation
- 2:13member nation
- 2:14have a strong desire to control national
- 2:17logistic resources
- 2:19these are those kept under national
- 2:21command and control
- 2:22and agreements are established on what
- 2:24each member state should or can
- 2:27contribute
- 2:28in terms of logistic resources for joint
- 2:31nato use
- 2:33the picture shows the different steps in
- 2:35a deployment process
- 2:37let's break it down step by step
- 2:40the red dotted frame is the joint
- 2:43operation area
- 2:44this is the area of warzone where the
- 2:47conflict is and where we will deploy to
- 2:49solve our mission
- 2:51the forces are today in the home base
- 2:53and will end up in the assembly area or
- 2:56find the destination
- 2:58on the home base personnel are
- 3:00transferred to the airport and flown
- 3:02down to a joint operation
- 3:05via
- 3:06airport of embarkation
- 3:08and airport of debarkation
- 3:11equipment and materials
- 3:13are moved to a port
- 3:15and transported down to the joint
- 3:17operation area
- 3:18via the seaport or embarkation and the
- 3:21seaport of ebucation
- 3:25after arrival at the joint operation
- 3:27area
- 3:28the forces and the personnel
- 3:31gathered in the holding area
- 3:33while equipment is assembled in the
- 3:36marshalling area
- 3:39the forces the personnel and equipment
- 3:43and the material are moved and will meet
- 3:45in the staging area
- 3:49after the necessary preparations here
- 3:52the force with equipment material moves
- 3:54down to the final destination
- 3:57if long distances the force will spend a
- 4:00night in the planned convoy support
- 4:02center
- 4:06the first part of the transfer from the
- 4:08home base to the portal and vacation in
- 4:10the home country is a national
- 4:13responsibility
- 4:15the transfer from a portland vacation in
- 4:18the home country to ports of debacations
- 4:22in joint operation area is a strategic
- 4:25deployment
- 4:27on ports of the applications and down to
- 4:29the final destination
- 4:31is operational and tactical transfer
- 4:36the transfer
- 4:38within the joint operation area is
- 4:40called airsome
- 4:42reception staging and onward movement
- 4:46when the military units withdraw from
- 4:48the mission and deploys back home this
- 4:52phase is called rmsd
- 4:54reward movement staging and dispatch
- 4:58the rmsd phase is similar to the
- 5:01sum phase but of course the opposite
- 5:04direction
- 5:06from the mission
- 5:07of the and back to each member states
- 5:11country
- 5:12there is a close connection between the
- 5:14levels of operation and the supply lines
- 5:17in the sustainment phase of an operation
- 5:20while the first describes the level at
- 5:23which the operation is controlled the
- 5:25last indicates where the supplies are
- 5:28grouped stored within the military
- 5:30command structure the lines of support
- 5:33are where the supplies are physically
- 5:35stored
- 5:36in a nato operation we often talk about
- 5:39having 30 days security of supplies
- 5:43this means that we must have stored 30
- 5:45days of necessary supplies ammunition
- 5:48etc
- 5:49one day's consumption
- 5:51of supplies for a tactical unit is
- 5:54called
- 5:55dos
- 5:56days of supply
- 5:58how many days of supply and operation
- 6:00should have stored and at what level
- 6:04may vary from operation to operation
- 6:07first line of support support
- 6:09capabilities
- 6:10that are organic or
- 6:13allocated to a ship a unit or a squadron
- 6:17second line of support
- 6:19support capabilities that are organic or
- 6:23allocated to a formation
- 6:26logistic unit that supports the tactical
- 6:29unit
- 6:30for the land unit these will be the
- 6:32brigade logistic units
- 6:35third line of support
- 6:37support capabilities
- 6:40provided to a military force within the
- 6:42theater operations
- 6:44or at the installations established
- 6:47along the strategic line of
- 6:49communication
- 6:50often this will be a tea at the logistic
- 6:53base
- 6:55here
- 6:56there should be stored stocks for
- 6:59normally 50
- 7:00of the approved days of supply numbers
- 7:04port line of support means stocks held
- 7:07at the national logistic home base
- 7:08including supplies at civilian
- 7:11contracted and industrial level
- 7:14or in the so-called stole pipe these are
- 7:17supplies that are on the way down to the
- 7:20operation area either by boat train or
- 7:23by plane
- 7:24but not yet
- 7:26arrived the joint operation area
- 7:30nato classes of supply are established
- 7:32in the five-class system of
- 7:35identification as shown
- 7:37it should be noted however that some
- 7:40nation uses different supply
- 7:42classification systems standard 2961
- 7:46shows the alternative systems used by
- 7:49specific nato nations
- 7:52supply classes are both practical and
- 7:55important for the logistics of a
- 7:58military system
- 8:00it simplifies the responsibility
- 8:03for the individual supply items
- 8:06both in terms of who has the staff
- 8:08responsibility within the j4 functions
- 8:12and how the supplies
- 8:14items are stored and transported
- 8:18class 1
- 8:20items of
- 8:21substance food and forage
- 8:25which are consumed by personnel or
- 8:27animals at almost uniform speed
- 8:30regardless of the local changes in the
- 8:32combat or terrain conditions
- 8:36water do not belong to any of the supply
- 8:38classes but for all practical reasons
- 8:42water is often connected to class 1.
- 8:45plus 2 supplies belonging to the
- 8:48nation's equipment and supplies
- 8:50table of equipment
- 8:52both spare parts and replacement
- 8:54equipment
- 8:56examples are clothing spare parts
- 8:59weapons or vehicles
- 9:02class 3
- 9:03fuel oils and lubricants for all
- 9:06purposes
- 9:08plus four supplies that do not normally
- 9:11fall into class 2 or any of the units
- 9:14authorized material again the table of
- 9:17equipment
- 9:18constructions and building material
- 9:21barbed wire standbacks etc
- 9:25plus five
- 9:26ammunition explosives
- 9:30of all kinds
- 9:32other supplies not belonging to any of
- 9:35these five classes
- 9:37medical supplies
- 9:39any materials necessary to ensure
- 9:41medical support
- 9:44the terms push and pull are often used
- 9:46in military logistics to describe the
- 9:49strategic of how the logistics flow is
- 9:52managed
- 9:54push
- 9:56means supplies items are shipped in an
- 9:58agreed quantity
- 10:01delivery locations and delivery interval
- 10:04a push based supply strategy is usually
- 10:07used for products with low demand
- 10:10uncertainty as consumption tables will
- 10:13give a good indication of what to
- 10:16deliver and store this strategy is used
- 10:19for products with a large rate of
- 10:22economies of scale to reduce costs
- 10:25example water
- 10:28provisions
- 10:29of fuel ammunition for brigade or
- 10:32battalion
- 10:33based on our average consumption rates
- 10:35per day
- 10:36base of supply
- 10:38supplies come regularly tactical units
- 10:41do not need to do anything do not need
- 10:44to order
- 10:45pull
- 10:48their tactical units order their
- 10:50supplies he or she needs
- 10:53it's a pull-based supply chain strategy
- 10:56that is usually used for products with
- 10:58high demands uncertainty
- 11:01and with lower
- 11:02significant or volume we can say that
- 11:05the supply chain is managed based on the
- 11:08real supply demand
- 11:10this picture shows a generic description
- 11:13of how the supplies are
- 11:15distributed from the third line down to
- 11:18the first line
- 11:20third line logistics as mentioned
- 11:22earlier
- 11:23the t at the logistic base
- 11:26sometimes it may be necessary to
- 11:28establish several logistic bases
- 11:31for example based on a geographical
- 11:34distances
- 11:35in the joint operation area
- 11:37it will often be referred to as the
- 11:40forward theater logistic base
- 11:43the theos the logistic base is
- 11:45responsible for resupply down to the
- 11:47second line
- 11:49which are the different logistic units
- 11:51depending on which branch we are talking
- 11:53about
- 11:54land maritime or air it can therefore be
- 11:58multiple
- 11:59forward logistic sites or deployed
- 12:02operation bases in an operation area
- 12:06each brigade
- 12:08will have its own logistics support area
- 12:10called brigade support area
- 12:13which is operated by the brigades
- 12:16combat service support battalion
- 12:20normally theatologist bays use only the
- 12:22push principle down to the second line
- 12:26land and air units will use both push
- 12:29and pull of supplies from the second
- 12:31line and down to the first line
- 12:34for maritime forces or vessels
- 12:37it is natural to use only pull
- 12:40often martin vessels will be resupplied
- 12:43out at the sea
- 12:45via a logistic vessel instead of
- 12:47entering a port where the forward
- 12:49logistics site is located this is called
- 12:53a rs
- 12:55replenishment at sea
- 12:57either horizontal
- 12:59from vessel to vessel
- 13:01or vertical from helicopter to west
- 13:05logistics at the tactical level depends
- 13:07on the operational logistics in the
- 13:09theater
- 13:10and conditions that are identified
- 13:12through planning and coordinating
- 13:16at the operational level
- 13:18utilizing theatre logistics allow the
- 13:20tactical level to use its capacity
- 13:23in the right way
- 13:25and the ability to maintain operational
- 13:28efficiency over time and have endurance
- 13:32sustainment over time
- 13:35joint logistics support group called
- 13:37jlsg
- 13:38is a joint
- 13:39force-generated deployable logistic
- 13:42capacity that provides common
- 13:45that provides command and control of
- 13:47assigned logistical forces
- 13:49from the theater to a tactical level in
- 13:52support of a joint task force made up of
- 13:56nato members partners and non-nato
- 13:58members
- 14:01joint logistics support group supports
- 14:03the component commands by providing
- 14:05common services and support
- 14:08to meet their requirements using a
- 14:10combination of his assigned forces host
- 14:13nation support and civilian contractors
- 14:18the main purpose for the joint logistics
- 14:20support group is to enable greater
- 14:22cooperation in logistics
- 14:25across nato
- 14:26optimize the logistic footprint for any
- 14:29given nato operation
- 14:31and reduced overall expenses
- 14:34of logistics to nato and their
- 14:36contributing nations
- 14:40it is a sustainment brigade that
- 14:42supports army air and maritime
- 14:45components
- 14:47and serves as an
- 14:49intermediary between the nation support
- 14:52elements and the tactical forces
- 14:55assigned to the joint task force
- 14:59joint logistics support group
- 15:01main task is executing the awesome
- 15:03process reception staging onward
- 15:06movement
- 15:08and the
- 15:08rmsd process
- 15:10reward movement staging
- 15:13and dispatch
- 15:15and later the third line logistic during
- 15:18the sustainment phase
- 15:21ultimately the size and composition of
- 15:24the joint logistics support group
- 15:27in any operation
- 15:28is determined by the overall size of the
- 15:32joint logistic task force it supports
- 15:35planned during the operational planning
- 15:37process
- 15:39the joint linguistic support group
- 15:40headquarters will normally be co-located
- 15:44with the theater logistic base
- 15:48this slide describes a generic
- 15:50organization of a joint linguistic
- 15:52support group
- 15:55the main units within the joint
- 15:57logistics support group are responsible
- 15:59for operating the theatricistic base
- 16:03and the awesome process
- 16:05reception staging and onward movement
- 16:10theatre logistics base units
- 16:13consist of logistic units that are able
- 16:16to receive store and deliver all classes
- 16:19of supply
- 16:20included the transportation
- 16:23of these classes within the area of
- 16:25operation
- 16:28are some units
- 16:29included smaller units at all ports of
- 16:32the applications
- 16:33and converse support centers
- 16:35that are able to receive temporary store
- 16:38and transport both troops and equipment
- 16:41from ports of the vacations
- 16:43to the staging area
- 16:46military engineering units
- 16:49medical facilities world two or world
- 16:52three
- 16:54force protection units
- 16:56primary for the theatre logistic base
- 16:59and combat service support units for the
- 17:02first and second support of all joint
- 17:04touristic support groups
- 17:06own units
- 17:09due to common functions and in order to
- 17:11enhance
- 17:13command and control and coordination
- 17:15logistic assets needs to be linked
- 17:18across a joint logistics support network
- 17:21a joint logistics support network is a
- 17:23system of
- 17:25interconnecting logistic nodes
- 17:27activities
- 17:28organizations
- 17:30and sites
- 17:31and their multi-modal links in the joint
- 17:34operation area
- 17:37as reflected in this slide
- 17:39a typical joint logistics support
- 17:41network consists of points of the
- 17:43evocation and embarkation
- 17:46lines of communication
- 17:48theater logistic base
- 17:51converse support centers and staging
- 17:53areas
- 17:56the slide also includes national support
- 17:58elements even if the national support
- 18:00elements are a national responsibility
- 18:03and and have not and are not under the
- 18:05command and control of the joint
- 18:07logistics support group
- 18:09joint logistics support group will use
- 18:11movecon in all ports of debacation and
- 18:14nodes to control the movement of true
- 18:17police contributors in an outgoing
- 18:20troops and equipment
- 18:23task for the move con
- 18:25provide movement control within a
- 18:28defined part of the joint logistics
- 18:30support network
- 18:31support movement of units personnel and
- 18:34accompanying
- 18:35material and equipment
- 18:38from the ports of the application
- 18:40through the staging area
- 18:42to the final destination as part of the
- 18:45sub-process onward
- 18:47movement
- 18:48and
- 18:49from the final destination to the port
- 18:51of embarkation as a part of the
- 18:54sub-process real-world movement
- 18:58national support element is organized as
- 19:01dictated by the national authorities
- 19:04under under national command and control
- 19:07national support elements is normally
- 19:09located
- 19:11within the area of theater gusty base
- 19:14and responsible for provision of
- 19:16national logistic support
- 19:18coordinated with the joint logistics
