Joint Logistics Department

The Joint Logistics Department (JLD) serves as the command’s rapid logistics concept and prototype development unit.

JLD personnel develop logistics concepts and support experimentation and prototype efforts. They work closely with the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, other combatant commands, the services and DoD agencies to develop solutions to global joint operational logistics issues.

The department supports the refinement of joint logistics rules, tools, processes, organizations, and information technology architecture by:

• Implementing the Joint Experimental Deployment and Support (JxDS) concept – JLD is investigating multiple JxDS capability prototypes: the Joint Force Support Component Command in U.S. Forces Korea, and an enhanced logistics staff in U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM), and an enabled J4 staff in U.S. Southern Command.
• Supporting U.S. Forces Korea as the current structure transforms into the Korea Command.
• Supporting U.S. Central Command and Multinational Force Iraq (MNF-I) operational logistics initiatives.
• Leading U.S. efforts in the logistics portion of Multinational Experiment 5 – The logistics portion of the experiment is designed to develop and refine a multinational logistics concept of operations that will allow multinational partners to establish support structures and processes for effective logistics information sharing in a coalition environment.
• Working with the Joint Staff and USPACOM to establish a quick reaction test to develop Global Combat Support System tactics, techniques, and procedures to allow joint warfighters to better use the system’s capabilities to improve joint logistics command and control and better sustain joint force logistics readiness.
• Working with the Joint Staff, the services, other combatant commands and DoD agencies to revise the Functional Concept for Joint Logistics, update joint publications in the 4.0 series and support the multifaceted evolution of the joint logistics portfolio.
