Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This monograph investigates historical examples of sustainment improvisation at the operational level to determine the role sustainment improvisation has played in the conduct of the operational art of war and the significance of improvisation for future operational sustainment planners. First, twentieth century improvisation examples are described with a general situation. The examples from World War II include the aerial Hump operation in the China-Burma-India Theater, the logistics-over-the-shore (LOTS) operations with the Normandy Beach landings, and the system of express highway routes to include the Red Ball Express. More recent examples from Vietnam include the civilian contracting of terminal services and a modern aerial Red Ball Express for high priority parts resupply. In each case appropriate detail is presented to create a broad picture of the effort, techniques, and procedures employed to create and operate the improvisation. Significant problems and costs associated with the operation are highlighted to illustrate some of the challenges that can be expected when improvising sustainment. Specific focus is placed on why sustainment improvisation was required operationally. Reaction time and duration are analyzed. The command and control aspects of the improvisation are explored to determine at what level the decision was made for initiating the action and who controlled the sustainment operation during its life span. The operational role and impact of the sustainment improvisation is analyzed to determine how the improvisation expanded the realm of the possible. Opinions are expressed for whether or not the improvisation was worth the cost. Findings, lessons learned, shared characteristics, and implications are presented to better prepare future sustainment improvisers when they are challenged to expand the realm of the possible. Some of the shared characteristics include the inevitability of the need to improvise, the large magnitude in time and resour.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This monograph discusses and analyzes command and control relationships for the divisional aircraft maintenance company to determine which relationship provides the most responsive support. First, a historical review and analysis is provided of Army divisional aviation support maintenance organizations and their command and control leading up to the Army of Excellence structure. This analysis explains the evolutionary and cyclical nature of the division's aviation support maintenance command and control structure to provide a perspective for determining the best structure for today. Next, the doctrinal mission and responsibilities of the aviation maintenance company are investigated along with AirLand Battle sustainment requirements to show the critical importance of responsive aircraft support maintenance. Experiences of aviation commanders and operators are reviewed and analyzed. Opinion surveys taken in 1967 and 1973 demonstrate the continuing controversy of the aviation maintenance company command and control issue. Finally, advantages and disadvantages of the current and alternative command and control structure within the division are identified and analyzed to recommend a structure that provides the most responsive support from the aviation maintenance company. This monograph concludes that the most responsive support is achieved with the command and control of the aviation maintenance company not under the division support command, but rather under its only customer--the combat aviation brigade. This recommended force structure improvement can be made at no cost in personnel spaces or equipment. The aviation maintenance company should be reassigned to the combat aviation brigade as soon as possible to regain the historically proven benefits of this most responsive support structure.
