As the executive agent for ammunition, the Army manages the arsenals and plants that produce conventional ammunition for the Department of Defense, This industrial base must be able to manufacture a wide range of ammunition and ordnance items In peacetime, the Army tests new rounds, makes training rounds, and manufactures rounds or components for war reserves, stockpile maintenance and upgrades. The Army must also manage and maintain capacity to replenish ammunition consumed by major theater wars without expanding the industrial base, The combined organic and inorganic industrial base can meet current requirements, but parts are becoming obsolete, and are expensive to operate To improve efficiency and reduce per-unit costs while maintaining strategic control of this key defense capability, the Army is seeking to reconfigure facilities, and stabilize production rates, The Army realizes that the industrial base structure has to change, This thesis provides a prototypic decision support model that captures the essence of their problem by optimizing transition actions while satisfying complicated long-term constraints on resources, management, and capacity, The model suggests yearly decisions for a planning horizon of a decade or more, and is demonstrated with 16 organic installations, structures located therein, and process centers housed in those structures,

The project determined if a data base existed that could be used in analysis of the organic Department of Defense (DOD) industrial base. This data base, although suitable for numerous analyses, did not contain all the data elements required for the, "Optimizing the Capacity and Operation of U.S. Army Ammunition Production Facilities" model, developed by Vedat Bayram at the Naval Postgraduate School. A new model would have to be developed or the current model changed to conduct an optimization study using the DOD data base presently available.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the defense industrial base capability to support small arms ammunition production for the current and future operations, as well as an increase in force structure. Improved production and supply chain efficiencies have led to a reduction in government owned, contractor operated facilities from twelve facilities in World War II to only one today. These reductions were driven by a reduction in small arms ammunition requirements due to force reduction and periods of peace. However, today's current operations have dramatically increased these requirements beyond the current government owned, contractor operated production facility's production capability. Additionally, this study describes the contractor's supply chain used in manufacturing small arms ammunition. Historical data from World War II, post-Cold War operations, and Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom were used as part of the research tool to develop the argument and determine the primary question. The research proves current production meets the current requirements with the additional sourcing through alternative sources. Additionally, it provides information that estimates requirements for total war in a conventional environment. Recommendations for future projects of this nature are made.

With its large industrial base of ammunition plants and arsenals, the Army has more ordnance manufacturing capacity than it needs. This study proposes a strategic vision for this capacity and explores four options for managing it: privatization, creation of a federal government corporation, consolidation, and recapitalization on multifunction posts. It weighs the options from different perspectives, including feasibility, economic viability, and risk posed to national interests. ISBN: 0-8330-3322-0 Price: $30.00 Page count: 350

The mission of the United States Army is to fight and win our nation's wars by providing prompt, sustained land dominance across the full range of military operations and spectrum of conflict in support of combatant commanders. Accomplishing this mission rests on the ability of the Army to equip and move its forces to the battle and sustain them while they are engaged. Logistics provides the backbone for Army combat operations. Without fuel, ammunition, rations, and other supplies, the Army would grind to a halt. The U.S. military must be prepared to fight anywhere on the globe and, in an era of coalition warfare, to logistically support its allies. While aircraft can move large amounts of supplies, the vast majority must be carried on ocean going vessels and unloaded at ports that may be at a great distance from the battlefield. As the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have shown, the costs of convoying vast quantities of supplies is tallied not only in economic terms but also in terms of lives lost in the movement of the materiel. As the ability of potential enemies to interdict movement to the battlefield and interdict movements in the battlespace increases, the challenge of logistics grows even larger. No matter how the nature of battle develops, logistics will remain a key factor. Force Multiplying Technologies for Logistics Support to Military Operations explores Army logistics in a global, complex environment that includes the increasing use of antiaccess and area-denial tactics and technologies by potential adversaries. This report describes new technologies and systems that would reduce the demand for logistics and meet the demand at the point of need, make maintenance more efficient, improve inter- and intratheater mobility, and improve near-real-time, in-transit visibility. Force Multiplying Technologies also explores options for the Army to operate with the other services and improve its support of Special Operations Forces. This report provides a logistics-centric research and development investment strategy and illustrative examples of how improved logistics could look in the future.
