What is the core component of combat logistics support?

The logistics planning function.

What three areas (two plans and one concept) do logistics planners support by integrating Air Force functional planning?

What are the five logistics planner core competencies?

Readying the force, preparing the battlespace, positioning the force, employing and sustaining the force, and recovering the force.




What type of “readying the force” activity is a logistics planner involved in when he or she is


managing and planning the deployment of fighters to a large-scale exercise?



Integrating logistics inputs to exercises and wargames.

What are examples of data that logistics planners manipulate and present to commanders to show


readiness of forces?



ART reports, training reports, and deployment exercise after action reports.

What are the impacts of right-sized UTCs?

What are the five areas of expertise that make up the core competency “Positioning the Force?”

Deploying personnel and materiel, RSOI of personnel and materiel, accounting for personnel and materiel, deploying enroute support, and creating initial operating capability.




What does sustainment ensure?

Why is redeployment not simply deployment in reverse?

It requires the same effort in planning and execution as deployment does.
