Joint Experimental Deployment and Support (JxDS)

The Joint Experimental Deployment and Support (JxDS) concept is a family of organizational options designed to enhance the coordination, integration, and synchronization of operational logistics that serve to increase force employment opportunities and alternatives.

It is a building block, scalable approach that allows the combatant commander to tailor his/her organization and includes the required authority, appropriate personnel, and necessary equipment, and technology to effectively manage and execute operational level logistics.

JxDS outlines the proposed authorities, structures, and technologies that collectively provide four operational capabilities:
• Joint Logistics Command and Control
• Operations/Logistics Integration
• Joint Logistics Planning and Analysis
• Joint Logistics Execution Tracking

JxDS initiatives for logistics command and control constructs are currently being worked with regional combatant command customers including: U.S. Pacific Command, U.S. Central Command, U.S. Southern Command, U.S. Special Operations Command, and U.S. European Command.
