Chapter II
(3) In large mobilization scenarios, the Navy may establish naval advanced logistic
support sites (NALSSs) to serve as the primary shore-based reception and transshipment
points for personnel, equipment, and materiel. Based on the number of carrier strike groups,
amphibious ready groups, other Navy units ashore in the Naval component commander
AOR, and level of joint tasking, the NALSS may be staffed and equipped to perform both
Navy reception, staging, onward movement, and integration and limited JRSOI duties.
(4) A naval forward logistic site (NFLS) is the forward-most land-based
transshipment point that provides the bridge between the NALSS and forward operating
units. An NFLS is typically established at an airfield or seaport close to the main battle area.
Like the NALSS, the NFLS is task organized, staffed with whole or modular components of
advanced base functional components, and enables Navy and JRSOI operations.
(5) The size and composition of NALSSs and NFLSs are dependent upon the
support required and are tailored by Navy logistic planners for the specific operation or
contingency. In lesser mobilization scenarios, the Navy component commander may
designate an established naval activity to act in this capacity. In either scenario, the Navy
component commander coordinates and monitors personnel deployment activities for units
and individuals.
d. US Air Force (USAF). Some Air Force mobility and SOF have a limited selfdeployment
capability. However, the Air Force and Air Force SOF rely on common-user
transportation to move support forces and sustainment cargo. Within the Air Force forces
component, the logistics directorate is the principal coordinator of Air Force logistics. When
required, the director of logistics provides centralized direction and control of deployment,
reception, integration, employment, and redeployment of logistic and support assets. The
USAF inserts all force deployments within a TPFDD using the Deliberate and Crisis Action
Planning and Execution Segments (DCAPES) as its primary automated data processing
system for operations, logistics, manpower, and personnel. The Air Force Weather Agency
(AFWA) produces strategic weather products, including climatological studies, and data to
support planning for deployment of US forces. CCDR-focused strategic and operational
weather products are provided as outlined in JP 3-59, Meteorological and Oceanographic
Operations.
e. Defense Logistics Agency. DLA is a CSA and is controlled and directed by the
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics. DLA provides
worldwide logistic support to the Services, CCMDs, other DOD components, USG
departments and agencies, foreign governments, and international organizations (through
foreign military sales). AV initiatives enable DLA responsibilities such as those listed in
Figure II-1. AV provides users with timely and accurate information on the location,
movement, status, and identity of units, personnel, equipment, and supplies during force
projection operations. DLA manages more than 80 percent of the items and nearly all of the
fuel and petroleum products for military usage. During deployment of the joint force, DLA
requires common-user transportation to move, stage, and recover its logistic resources in
support of joint force operations. Supported CCMD planners are responsible for validating
DLA movement requirements entered in the TPFDD for scheduling by USTRANSCOM.
DLA has the following logistic responsibilities: integrate materiel management and supply
