ABSTRACT
A key functionality in army logistics is the concept of focused logistics to provide asset visibility, rapid response, and advanced agility tailored to the continued support of forces at all levels: strategic, operational, and tactical. Solutions lie in new technology that enhance and improve logistical processes and functions in order to meet the needs of the ever transforming global force. The future army will demand near-real-time global, in-transit visibility and total asset visibility of materials, equipment, personnel, and vital supplies. A reliable, versatile, mobile, integrated wireless network is essential to attaining the desired result of total asset visibility.
