Description
The Joint Chiefs of Staff J4 Logistics office carries out its mission to enhance joint force readiness by providing vision and shaping an adaptive Joint Logistics Environment to maximize the Joint Force Commander's freedom of action. J4 goals include providing a comprehensive and coherent joint logistics strategy to drive unity of effort across the Joint Logistics Environment; deliver a predictive joint logistics environment that enhances joint force readiness; diver integrated joint logistics capabilities to the Joint Force Commander; deliver joint logistics common situational awareness through a knowledge-based logistics architecture; develop people, manage knowledge, and create a J4 learning organization; and provide recognized leadership for the Joint Logistics Environment. A major tool for joint logistics relies on implementation of RFID/UID Enablers. The Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics signed a memorandum outlining policy for the use of RFID within the Department of Defense (DoD). The strategy calls for taking maximum advantage of the inherent life-cycle asset management efficiencies that can be realized with integration of RFID throughout DoD. Leveraging this technology to improve our ability to get the customer the right materiel, at the right time, and in the right condition is a critical part of our End-to-End Warfighter Support initiative.
