CDC 2g071 - Logistics Plans Craftsman - Vol 1. Expeditionary Logistics Planning

If the collection of documents is left until the redeployment order is received, it could cause major delays in the redeployment process. This means that if the necessary documents are not collected in advance, it could result in significant delays in the process of redeploying resources.

When FAACs (Fire Arms and Ammunition Controllers) are assigned to their position, they receive training. This implies that the training is specific to the duties and responsibilities of their position, and it is provided to them once they are assigned to that particular role. The training may cover various aspects such as handling firearms and ammunition, safety protocols, inventory management, and other relevant skills and knowledge required for their job.

The logistics planner is working in the Support Agreements management section when reviewing and maintaining a master file of MOUs. This section is responsible for managing support agreements, which are formal agreements between military units or organizations that outline the support and resources provided to each other. The logistics planner's role in this section involves ensuring that the master file of MOUs is up to date and accurate, and coordinating with other units or organizations to establish and maintain these agreements.

The PERSCO team usually operates the RPU and accounts for all arriving and departing personnel. The PERSCO team establishes strength accountability for everyone they are responsible for, regardless of location and update the information in the accountability system. The kind of information updated in the accountability system are arrival dates and force gains.
The PERSCO team establishes reception procedures and meets personnel when they arrive on station. The team obtains one copy of contingency, exercise, and deployment (CED) orders and completes an AF Form 245, Employment Locator and Processing Checklist, on each individual.
However, if a PERSCO team is not available, the troop commander appoints a person to maintain accountability until a PERSCO team arrives.

Logistics planners assigned as the WRMNCO spend most of their time on the Installation WRM review board. This suggests that their main focus is on reviewing and coordinating the logistics plans and requirements at the installation level. They are likely responsible for ensuring that the installation has the necessary resources and capabilities to support wartime operations. This could involve assessing and coordinating the procurement, storage, and distribution of war reserve materials and equipment. They may also be involved in coordinating with other units and organizations within the installation to ensure readiness and preparedness for potential wartime scenarios.

During the first quarter of the annual review of the information in the BaS&E Planning Tool, steps 1-8 are accomplished. This means that the review process includes activities such as gathering and analyzing data, identifying key issues and challenges, setting objectives and goals, and developing strategies and action plans. These initial steps lay the foundation for the rest of the review process and help to ensure that the planning tool is effectively utilized to make informed decisions and drive organizational success.

UTCs are collected or grouped together at locations in the United States or overseas that are designated as an aggregation point. War planners try to aggregate most UTCs to a location where airlift will arrive to take the cargo and/or personnel to the aerial port of debarkation (APOD).

The correct answer is d. assigned according to the function and skill level of the loggie. This means that the 7-level logistics craftsman assigns work based on the specific function or job role, as well as the skill level of the individual. This ensures that tasks are assigned to personnel who have the necessary expertise and qualifications to successfully complete the work.

If a 3 skill level logistics planner has been task certified by the trainer/supervisor, it means that they have demonstrated the necessary skills and knowledge to perform their tasks effectively. This certification indicates that they are capable of performing their duties without direct supervision. Therefore, the correct answer is b. can perform tasks unsupervised.

WRM assets are identified by category. This means that they are classified and grouped based on their specific type or category. This helps in organizing and managing the assets more effectively. By categorizing the assets, it becomes easier to track and locate them when needed. It also allows for better planning and allocation of resources. By identifying WRM assets by category, it ensures that they can be easily identified and accessed when required for military operations or other purposes.

Inconsistencies in these UTCs could impact combat readiness. In particular, these errors could lead to under-equipping a deploying unit or overstating requests for strategic lift. (page 2-4)

If the storing unit does not provide the transportation section with the outload requirements, the transportation section will not be able to create a load plan for the WRM outload.

The most common method for disseminating classified information to affected units is through classified briefings. This involves a designated individual or group providing a detailed and confidential presentation to the units that need to be informed. This method ensures that the information is communicated securely and allows for any necessary clarification or questions to be addressed. Published orders, scrambled phone calls, and messages/couriers may also be used in certain situations, but classified briefings are generally the preferred method.

New UTCs are requested when a desired capability does not exist. This means that if there is a specific capability or function that is needed but not currently available, a request can be made for a new UTC to be created. This allows for the development and implementation of the necessary capability to meet the requirements of the installation or organization.

When new equipment types enter the inventory, new UTCs (Unit Type Codes) must be developed. UTCs are unique codes that identify specific types of equipment and their associated capabilities. Developing new UTCs allows for proper tracking, maintenance, and allocation of resources for the new equipment. It also ensures that the equipment is properly integrated into the inventory management system.

It is a coordinated effort between the pilot and nonpilot units to accurately manage and report on UTCs. (page 2-4)

The correct answer is b. Costs for conferences not in direct support of WRM. This is an example of an unauthorized WRM expenditure because it involves spending money on conferences that do not directly support the War Reserve Material (WRM) program. WRM expenditures should only be used for activities and resources that directly contribute to the readiness and sustainability of WRM assets.

The WRMNCO is responsible for ensuring that WRM (War Reserve Material) authorizations are loaded in the SBSS (Standard Base Supply System) and the CAS (Consolidated Asset Support System). This means that they are in charge of managing and maintaining the inventory of WRM, ensuring that the correct authorizations are in place, and coordinating with other personnel and systems to ensure accurate and up-to-date records. The installation commander and support group commander may have oversight and decision-making authority, but the WRMNCO is specifically tasked with this responsibility.

Deployment is movement of forces and their sustainment from their point of origin to a specific operational area to conduct joint operations. Reception, staging, on-ward movement, and integration (RSO&I) is the final stage of deployment. It is important to remember that RSO&I functions are applicable to both the deployment and redeployment phases of military operations. RSO&I is the essential process that transitions deploying forces—consisting of personnel, equipment, and materiel arriving in theater—into forces capable of meeting the CCDR’s operational requirements.

Redeployment encompasses the transfer of a unit, an individual, or supplies deployed in one area to another area, to another location within the area, or to home station. Redeployment is not the same as “deployment in reverse.” Redeploying may, for military, political, or diplomatic reasons, be far more rapid than the deployment phase. Similar to deployment, redeployment operations encompass four phases:
• Redeployment planning.
• Pre-redeployment activities.
• Movement.
• Joint reception, staging, onward movement, and integration (JRSOI).

Transfers under ACSA authorities reduce the US "logistics tail" by allowing procurement of needed items from a host nation. This means that instead of shipping items from the US to where they are needed, the US can acquire them from a host nation. This reduces the logistical burden of transporting items and allows for a more efficient and cost-effective supply chain.

When part I of the IGESP is unclassified, it is marked as "For Official Use Only." This means that although the information is not classified, it is intended only for official use and should not be disclosed to the public or unauthorized individuals.

The correct answer is d. assisting the President and the SecDef in providing strategic direction to the armed forces. This answer is supported by the information given in the question, which states that under the JSPS (Joint Strategic Planning System), the CJCS (Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) is responsible for assisting the President and the SecDef (Secretary of Defense) in providing strategic direction to the armed forces. The other options (a, b, and c) are not mentioned in the question and are therefore not supported as correct answers.

Redeployment refers to the process of moving resources or personnel from one location or task to another. It is stated that redeployment happens more rapidly than a deployment, indicating that the process of moving resources or personnel during redeployment is faster compared to the initial deployment. This suggests that redeployment is characterized by a quicker turnaround time and a more efficient relocation of resources.

During a surveillance visit, the WRMNCO is accompanied by the WRMM. The WRMM, or Wing Resource Management Monitor, is responsible for monitoring and managing the resources within the wing. They assist the WRMNCO in conducting the surveillance visit and ensuring that resources are being utilized effectively and efficiently. The WRMM's expertise in resource management makes them the appropriate choice to accompany the WRMNCO during the visit.

ACSA activities reports are produced annually, meaning they are created once a year. This suggests that the reports cover a year's worth of activities and provide a comprehensive overview of the organization's actions and progress. Producing reports on an annual basis allows for a thorough analysis and evaluation of the organization's performance and helps in making informed decisions for future planning and improvement.

If there are significant changes to the unit's support posture, the correct action required is for the units to update or rewrite their IGESP/ESPs. This means that the units need to make necessary changes and modifications to their Integrated Global Support and Execution Plan or Expeditionary Support Plan to reflect the new support posture. This ensures that the plans accurately reflect the current situation and are aligned with the unit's capabilities and resources.

A right-sized UTC is one that provides a generic building block capability. This provides greater flexibility to planners and enables optimal support to the warfighting combatant commander (CCDR) or component. When integrated with other right-sized UTCs, it provides greater mission capability needed to support an air expeditionary group (AEG), air expeditionary wing (AEW), or air and space expeditionary task force (AETF).

Before WRM can be used for indirect mission support, the request must be forwarded by the WRMO/NCO through the WRMPM to the next approval level. This implies that there is a specific process in place for requesting and approving the use of WRM for indirect mission support, and it involves multiple levels of approval. The approval of the base commander, WRMO, and IDO are not explicitly mentioned as necessary steps in the process, indicating that the request must go through the WRMPM and the next approval level before it can be granted.

Manpower coordinates with the FM (Facilities Management) office to determine cost factor development in areas involving labor. The FM office is responsible for managing and maintaining the facilities and infrastructure, including labor costs. They have the necessary expertise and information to provide accurate cost factors related to labor, which helps in budgeting and planning for manpower requirements.

The correct answer is a. WMP-2 part 2 is written in support of WMP-2, part 1. This means that WMP-2 is divided into multiple parts, with part 2 specifically being written to support and complement the plans listed in part 1.

As a 7-level Craftsman, it is important that you understand the MAJCOM and base level purpose and responsibilities for logistics plans, including the role of the Air Force (Air Staff and MAJCOM interface) in the overall planning process. A logistics planner integrates Air Force functional planning in support of operational war plans directed by the Joint Strategic Capabilities Plan (JSCP) and USAF War and Mobilization Plan (WMP) as well as operations under the Air and Space Expeditionary Force (AEF) concept.

UTCs should be developed to allow tasking from a single organization. This means that a single organization should have the authority and responsibility to assign tasks to the UTCs. This ensures clear lines of communication and accountability within the organization. It also allows for efficient coordination and decision-making, as tasks can be assigned and executed without the need for multiple organizations to be involved. This approach streamlines the process and enables quicker response times and more effective execution of tasks.

The CCDR directs subordinate commands and forces as necessary to carry out missions assigned to the command, including authoritative direction over all aspects of military operations, joint training, and logistics within the area of responsibility (AOR). Any force assigned to a CCDR may be transferred from that command only as directed by the SecDef and under procedures prescribed by the SecDef and approved by the President.

The SAM (System Administrator Manager) provides the support requests to the FAACs. The SAM is responsible for managing and maintaining the FAACs, including handling support requests and ensuring that the systems are functioning properly. They act as the point of contact for any issues or assistance needed with the FAACs, and are responsible for coordinating and resolving any technical problems that may arise.

The receiver is required to give the supplier a minimum of 180 days notice if they decide to terminate the support agreement. This allows the supplier sufficient time to make any necessary arrangements or adjustments to their operations. It also ensures that both parties have ample time to negotiate and potentially find alternative solutions before the termination takes effect.

• In the event of limited materiel handling equipment (MHE), locate the pallet build-up area and the aircraft silhouette as near to aircraft load sites as possible to help reduce MHE requirements. (pg 2-15)

The correct answer is b. The storing command. The storing command is responsible for reconstituting WRM (War Reserve Material) that is coded for direct mission support. This means that the storing command is in charge of ensuring that the necessary WRM is available and ready to be used for direct mission support when needed.

Before inputting IGESP part 1 requirements to BaS&E via NIPRNET, the step of reviewing IGESP part 1 and 2 chapter reports is completed. This step ensures that all the necessary information from the reports is reviewed and understood before inputting the requirements into the BaS&E Planning Tool. It helps in ensuring that the inputted data is accurate and aligned with the requirements mentioned in the reports.

The key to successful expeditionary site planning is the IGESPC. This acronym stands for the Installation Geospatial Expeditionary Site Planning Capability, which is a tool used to assist in the planning and execution of expeditionary site operations. It provides a comprehensive approach to site selection, assessment, and planning, ensuring that all necessary factors are considered and addressed. This tool helps to streamline the planning process and ensure that all necessary resources and support are in place for a successful expeditionary operation.

A JSCP tasking to develop humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, peacekeeping, or counter-drug operations would result in the development of a FUNCPLAN. A FUNCPLAN, or Functional Plan, is a type of plan that focuses on a specific function or mission, such as humanitarian assistance or peacekeeping. It outlines the objectives, tasks, and resources needed to accomplish the mission effectively. In this case, the JSCP tasking is specifically related to these types of operations, so a FUNCPLAN would be the appropriate plan to develop.

Before the storing unit provides the outload requirements to the transportation section, the WRMO/NCO coordinates a meeting with the storing unit and the transportation function. This meeting serves as a platform for discussing and coordinating the specific requirements for the outload, ensuring that all parties are on the same page and any necessary arrangements or preparations can be made. This coordination is crucial in ensuring a smooth and efficient outload process.

The purpose of the WRM Review Board is to initiate, accomplish, and direct actions necessary to ensure that the WRM program provides the capability to perform the wartime mission. This board is responsible for reviewing and evaluating the WRM program to ensure it meets the needs and requirements of the wartime mission. They assess the readiness and effectiveness of the program and make recommendations for improvements or changes as necessary. The WRM Review Board plays a critical role in ensuring that the WRM program is properly managed and maintained to support the military's wartime operations.

The correct answer is JCD. The question is asking for the product derived from the process of identifying capabilities important to the joint warfighter and how to evaluate future systems ability to deliver those capabilities through the FAA and FNA of a CBA. JCD stands for Joint Capabilities Document, which is a document that identifies the required capabilities for a joint military operation and provides a framework for evaluating and acquiring future systems. It is used to guide the development and acquisition of military systems to ensure they meet the needs of the joint warfighter.

Assets in the Air Force inventory are identified according to how they are used using a use code. This code helps to categorize and track assets based on their specific purpose or function within the Air Force. It allows for efficient management and organization of assets, making it easier to locate and utilize them when needed. A use code provides valuable information about the asset's intended use and helps to ensure that it is properly assigned and accounted for within the inventory system.

The CWRMO/NCO participates in WRM surveillance visits with the CWRMM. This suggests that the CWRMO/NCO plays a role in monitoring and assessing the effectiveness of the WRM program. The other options, such as the installation commander, support agreement manager, and WRMM, may have other responsibilities related to WRM but are not specifically mentioned in the context of surveillance visits.

In the first step of interpreting the WCDO, the WRMO/NCO assembles the WRMMs to review the document. This step is crucial as it involves gathering the relevant individuals who will be responsible for analyzing and understanding the content of the WCDO. By bringing together the WRMMs, the WRMO/NCO ensures that all the necessary perspectives and expertise are present to effectively interpret the document.

In step 3 of interpreting the WCDO, the WCDO quantities required day-by-day are compared to the sortie information for the WAAR. This step involves analyzing the daily requirements of the WCDO and comparing them with the actual sorties flown during the WAAR. This comparison helps in determining if the WCDO quantities are sufficient or if any adjustments need to be made.
