Supporting Distributed Operations From The Company Level

The current operating environment justifies the need for distributed operations. As the long term and short term situation evolve, operational and logistical techniques must also evolve to prevent forces from reaching their culminating point at the most critical time in an operation. The combat logistics capability to sustain distributed operations (DO) should reside with the company commander conducting DO because supporting DO in a complex environment requires the appropriate perspective; proper task organization; and effective logistics tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).
