Dick Couch, the commander of a SEAL platoon in Vietnam, has written his best book yet on the training of elite warriors with this stepby-step walk through of the tough selection process and then the brutal mental and physical strainer each Soldier struggles through to become a Special Forces Soldier.

According to Niels Biamon, Deputy for Current Operations, G-3, at AMC headquarters The immediate benefits of JLAT are obvious: knowing how much of an item will be needed, when it will be needed, and whether we have enough to support an operation; but it's the second and third order effects that will pay dividends during the deployment. In addition to adjustments made based on user testing and feedback, JLAT 2.0 will * Improve user interface and functionality. * Include remaining ASORTS and high-priority non-ASORTS systems in the class IX forecast. * Develop frequent feeds from enterprise databases to update JLAT federated database tables. * Integrate JLAT output into TRANSCOM's distribution planning models. * Expand JLAT's forecasting ability to include all supply items except class VIII (medical materiel) items. * Create report templates that provide planners with the information they see as most critical.

Logistics Status Reports and the Logistics Common Operating Picture

From:ProQuest LLC

Document Overview:

["Battle rhythm" refers to a deliberate daily cycle of command, staff, and unit activities intended to synchronize current and future operations.] However, just as Department of the Army Form 5988-E, Equipment Inspection Maintenance Worksheet, is the starting point of the entire maintenance support process, the LOGSTAT report is the feeder for the visibility, forecasting, and execution of the sustainment mission. [...] the absence of accurate and timely reporting by supported units often creates the need to choose between two courses of action: either pushing supplies based on incomplete data and thereby risking the need to move inordinate amounts of backhaul (planned or unplanned loads carried back with a transporter to the point of origin); or delaying the planning process until accurate information is gathered and thereby risking the need to make an emergency resupply to a unit that is dangerously low on a commodity like fuel, water, or ammunition.
