摘要

Commanders routinely undervalue logistics, despite the fact that logistics is arguably nine-tenths of the formula for winning. For the United States, this reality has significant consequences since every war beginning with the Spanish-American War in 1898 to the latest Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) conflict has relied on moving U.S. forces over extended distances. Indeed, despite the importance of logistics in an expeditionary age, the U.S. military has not settled on a standard deployment practice to move its forces. In the early 1990s, the United States adopted Time-Phased Force Deployment Data (TPFDD) as the method to plan out and execute large-scale deployments. First tested in Operation Desert Storm, the TPFDD remained the principle vehicle through the 1990s to schedule movement of forces. However, a decade later, the TPFDD was abandoned in favor of a Request for Forces (RFF) procedure in the latest OIF contingency in an attempt to build force packages more expeditiously as the campaign unfolded. This monograph provides an in-depth historical comparison of the TPFDD and RFF processes to determine which process best prepares the nation to move its forces to meet future threats on distant battlefields. A comparison of TPFDD and RFF using FM 3-0's strategic responsiveness criteria shows many similarities and only a few subtle differences between the two deployment practices. Similarly, the criterion of time necessary to move the forces only minimally differentiates the two practices. In total, both deployment practices have advantages and disadvantages that suggest no clear conclusions on the best deployment model. Yet since both deployment practices are far from perfect, the Department of Defense is spurring a new initiative known as adaptive planning to mitigate the commonly experienced problems of deployment. Adaptive planning seeks to use new tools, educated people, and responsive products to effectively simplify the deployment process.
