[4] of cover. 520 $a The ability to rapidly deploy forces into austere locations is essential to the global power projection concept of operation. Much of the materiel used by such expeditionary forces does not deploy with the unit. It is instead sourced from a global network of prepositioning storage locations to reduce the transportation requirements associated with the movement of such materiel. Current storage concepts for prepositioned materiel are based on planning assumptions from the Cold War era: that deployment scenarios and their associated support requirements could be fairly well identified in advance and the necessary materiel prepositioned at anticipated deployment sites. This monograph examines alternative approaches to storing combat support materiel to see if they would provide better support to deploying forces in an expeditionary environment that more closely resembles the current Department of Defense (DoD) planning guidance: frequent force projections, of varying sizes and of unknown durations, to wide-ranging locations. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (p. 139-141) 650 0 $a Air bases, American. 610 10 $a United States. $b Air Force $x Operational readiness. 610 10 $a United States. $b Air Force $x Supplies and stores. 651 0 $a United States $x Supplies and stores. $x Supplies and stores. 610 10 $a United States. $b Air Force $x Foreign service. 650 0 $a Logistics. 700 1 $a McGarvey, Ronald G. 710 2 $a Rand Corporation. 710 2 $a Project Air Force (U.S.) 830 0 $a Rand Corporation monograph series. 856 41 $z Electronic Version: Publisher's web page for this book, including scanned depiction of full text and images: $u http://rand.org/pubs/monographs/2010/RAND_MG902.pdf 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180105022231.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825053803.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F085C32E56D811DFB46C8AF9A7D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
