The key to ensuring materiel readiness in a contested logistics environment will be expanding the scope of how and when logistics is considered, planned and executed, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told senior logisticians Sept. 12.
"We want to fight with an unfair advantage," Air Force Gen. CQ Brown, Jr., said during his keynote address at the Worldwide Logistics Symposium. "We have to act like there is a crisis without the crisis … to make the changes needed now."
Brown joined Defense Logistics Agency Director Army Lt. Gen. Mark Simerly, Defense Department logistics leaders, military logisticians from other nations, and industry partners from across the globe to brainstorm solutions to strengthen the global network of sustainment. The event was held Sept. 12-13 at DLA Headquarters.
Brown said the solution to contested logistics challenges is to establish a globally connected, resilient defense ecosystem through collaborative regional sustainment strategies that leverage the strengths of allies, partners and the defense industry base.
