Overview
"The Air Force is embarking on a new method of force projection, that of the Expeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF). Like any new operational application, logistics plays a significant role in its success or failure. So the adaptation of agile logistics concepts is a crucial part of the EAF. The shortage of strategic airlift and the limited time allowed to deploy an EAF lead to the necessity of cutting the logistics tail and/or saving pipeline time during a deployment. Prepositioning of cargo may be one solution to saving time and cutting some of the logistics tail. The question is what to preposition and where--in theater at a fighter base, at a depot, at a regional contingency center, or at a strategic aerial port in the continental United States (CONUS) or in theater. The focus of this paper will be on determining if prepositioning is a viable option and if so, what common items can be prepositioned and where."
