UNCLASS Purpose/ Agenda Purpose Logistics Readiness Center –Purpose/Intent of LRC –Current LRC Construct Intermediate Supply Reach- back –OEF SMU Reach-back Concept –Using Unit to Reach-back relationship –Theater Execution Supply Functions –Efficiencies Lessons Learned Way Ahead To present for consideration 1st MLG’s use of the LRC and Intermediate Supply Reach-back capability in OEF and future application Agenda 2 of 14 This brief contains 14 slides

3. UNCLASS Logistics Readiness Center (LRC) 3 of 14

4. UNCLASS Logistics Readiness Center A coordinating center, located in CLR 15 S-3 to: –Synchronize intermediate supply and maintenance –Prioritize resources and effort Serves as single C2 node for MAGTF for intermediate logistics support –Command and Control logistics “fires” Optimizes intermediate support capabilities with operational requirements Evaluates and prioritizes intermediate support capabilities and posture IOT ensure alignment with MAGTF demand Integrates intermediate maintenance and supply with transportation and distribution Purpose and intent 4 of 14

5. UNCLASS LRC Construct (current/future) As efforts are underway to move to retain Supply and Maintenance as functional Battalions, now is the ideal time to align these line numbers with this structure ASST LRC OFF CAPT 3002 LRC CHF MSGT 3529 LRC OFF MAJ 0402/3002 ENG EQUIP NCO SGT 1345 TRANS COORD NCO CPL 3531 TRANS COORD NCO CPL 1345/3531 MAINT MGMT CHF SSGT 0411 MAINT OPS CHF GYSGT 21xx SUPPLY OPS CHF GYSGT 3043 CL II RQMTS CHF SGT 3043 CLASS III RQMTS NCO SGT 1391 CL III RQMTS CHF SSGT 1391 CL V RQMTS CHF SGT 2311 MAINT MGMT SPEC SGT 0411 CL IX RQMTS CHF SSGT 3043 CL IX RQMTS NCO CPL 3043 MOS OFF CWO MAINT TSE OFF 1STLT 0402 TRANS COORD CHF MSGT 3537 SOS OFF CWO 3010 WOLPH SPEC LCPL 0411 MOBILITY OFFICER CWO EMBARK MOBILITY Chief SSgt EMBARK MOBILITY Clerk Cpl EMBARK MOBILITY Clerk LCpl EMBARK 5 of 14 *Billets in Red represent line numbers that do not currently exist (SOS/MOS/WOLPH) or need to be transferred within current structure (Mobility) Current LRC C2 Enablers are: GCSS-MC (Sup/Maint) CLC2S/TCPT (MSTs) Sharepoint (TEEP)

7. UNCLASS Intermediate Supply Reach-back Given advances in information technology, 1st MLG has expanded the concept of SMU Reach-back to incorporate those functions which can be executed in CONUS to support global operations Functions which were once executed forward and have now transitioned to CONUS include: –Processing Unit Warfighter Support –Posts reports daily –Stock replenishment –Stock control –Validation of financial transactions The Reach-back process has undergone a proof-of-concept in OEF Purpose and intent 7 of 14

This concept has been successfully transitioned and executed by both I and II MEF without degrading support to FWD units throughout the RC(SW) AO. To date both I and II MEF have leveraged technology and supply expertise in order to meet all FWD multi-class sustainment requirements (78) Total LNK Personnel Physical Transfer Physical Transfer / Action Required Date Transfer / Request Physical Transfer Physical Transfer / Action Required Date Transfer / Request 8 of 14

Fill or pass to Source of Supply Using unit customer service supply assistance embedded in reach-back Reach-back posts reports daily Forward stock replenishment buys conducted by reach-back Stock Control reports management ISO Fwd inventory conducted by reach-back Validate financial transactions for all forward deployed Marine units 9 of 14

10. UNCLASS In-Theater Supply Function Execution Theater Supply Plt. Functions 1.Provide walk-thrus to support immediate customer demands 2.Using unit supply assistance 3.Courier collect for processing at CONUS Reachback 1.Pick using unit requisitions processed at the Reachback 2.Stowing incoming inventory purchased by Reachback 3.Cyclical weekly inventories 1.Distribute materiel to all RCSW forces 2.Receive all inbound cargo (air and ground) 3.Limited P3 capability (personal effects) 12.2 Supply Plt.

11. UNCLASS Reach-Back Efficiencies Sustained transparent level of support to the MAGTF Fill rate remains ~ 68% Readiness 95% Decreased Theater Footprint Assists FML Deployed personnel cost savings Enterprise adaptable MCEITS Transition between MEF’s 11 of 14 With the exception of storage, if SMU Reach-back is adopted in its entirety the SMU will never require forward-deployment

12. UNCLASS Lessons Learned Logistics Readiness Center –Synchronization and unified focus –Up and out focus enables better analysis and coordination –Provides an intermediate supply advocate within CLR HQ Intermediate Supply Reach-back –Proof-of-concept successful for OEF MAGTF –SASSY vs GCSS-MC Intra theater asset visibility Document Management 12 of 14

13. UNCLASS Way Ahead Logistics Readiness Center –Continue to analyze efficiency data including fill rates/repair cycle time –Incorporate into future exercises and deployments –Seek to apply this concept to future deploying MAGTFs –Incorporate into CLR-X5 restructuring efforts/formal incorporation into the structure Intermediate Supply Reach-back –Incorporate into exercises and deployed operations –Seek to apply this concept to future deploying MAGTFs –Continue to integrate with GCSS-MC –Codify into USMC concepts and logistics doctrine 13 of 14

16. OEF 12 Logistics Readiness Center (LRC) Roles and Responsibilities: Maintain cognizance of Intermediate Field-level supply/maintenance and distribution requirements Evaluate ISAF-MAGTF LCE force-posture IOT properly align LCE force laydown Integrate supply and transportation (ground and air) to ensure optimal distribution Provide SME oversight for forward positioned Class I, II, III, V, IX supplies Provide SME input to LCE Plans and Future Operations Officers Provide SME to identify and mitigate maintenance trends LRC OIC Maint Ops Supply Ops UMCCMobilityLSAir G/S-3 5 of 15 During OEF-12, the 1st MLG instituted the above LRC construct, initially under the G-3 and then the S-3 as the LCE transitioned from 1st MLG to CLR-15

17. UNCLASS Total T/O Reduction: ~200 Issues: –Several sections are too top heavy; requires grade reductions –All 3381 Food Service billets were removed and replaced with regular supply Marines. Rations platoon needs at least (5) 3381s for their technical knowledge –Cuts to 3043s and 3051s were significant (~25%) but manageable ~10 BICs still need deconfliction with Maint Bns and CLCs Supply Battalion

18. UNCLASS Total T/O reduction: ~300 Numerous billets should have rank or billet changes Critical Issues: –0111: (2) SSgts on T/O; convert (1) SSgt to GySgt to support 1500+ man battalion –0681: (0) on T/O; convert (2) 0699 MSgt to 0681 SSgt and place in Maint Bn for RIP EKMS –1302: (0) on T/O; convert (1) 2102 to (1) 1302 for EMC Company Commander –1310: (0) on T/O; currently have (1) W4, (2) W3, (2) W2. Add or convert (3) 1310s for RMC, EMC XO, and MEP Plt Cmdr –2171: (0) GySgt, (6) SSgt on T/O; currently have (2) GySgt and (5) SSgt. Convert (1) SSgt to GySgt, critical as the EO Maintenance Chief for OMC –2802: (2) captains on T/O; currently have (1) major & (1) captain. Convert (1) captain to major to be the RMC company commander –2891: (2) MSgt on T/O; currently have (1) MGySgt, (1) MSgt. Convert (1) MSgt to MGySgt for RMC Operation Chief –3043/3051: Determining required quantity of each for the RIP –8999: (4) 1stSgt on T/O; currently have 6 on T/O but (1) (OMC) is never staffed. Add or convert (1) 8999 to ensure one per company –~10 BICs need deconfliction with Supply Bn and CLCs Maintenance Battalion

19. UNCLASS Potential annual personnel cost savings of >$1M –Rank decrease savings:$ 2,740K –Rank increase costs: -$ 248K NET manpower cost savings:$ 2,492K *Based on base pay and BAH only for Camp Pendleton – savings would increase if total compensation (e.g. medical, retirement, etc.) were included *All ranks assumed to be married with dependents – savings would increase if we assumed barracks occupancy for junior Marines Potential Cost Savings
