Air Force weapon system sustainment has functioned under a variety of con-cepts and organizations, yet the system has repeatedly met national and global threats, largely because of the dedication of the men and women responsible for the detailed tasks of sustainment. Sustainment activities require significant coordination and communication across a myriad of functions and organizations. At present, this process is largely facilitated by interpersonal relationships rather than clear, concise lines of authority and modern enterprise reporting and planning tools, which results in escalating costs and inefficiencies.

The Concept for Future Joint Operations (CFJO) expands the new operational concepts contained in Joint Vision 2010--Dominant Maneuver, Precision Engagement, Full-Dimensional Protection, and Focused Logistics--to provide a more detailed foundation for follow-on capabilities assessments. The CFJO represents an important step toward the objective of achieving the right capabilities for the challenges the U.S. military will face in the 21st century. The development of this concept--the first phase of a comprehensive implementation process--should eventually transform the Joint Vision 2010 ideas into actual joint force capabilities that will give the U.S. military Full Spectrum Dominance. This document is the intellectual foundation for changes, and is intended to be a living document that will provide the initial basis for a variety of assessment activities.

The monograph examines the assumptions and conclusions of the ALB-F operational concept and its implications for a proposed tactical force structure. These conclusions are concentrated with alternative views of future war and battle conditions developed by other military analysts. The alternatives are used to gauge the possible range of conditions our future force structure must accommodate. A cardinal element in our future force design is a desire to increase agility through reduction in force size and complexity. The paper examines the nature of agility and the impact of proposed force structure modifications on a unit's combat power and endurance. The Wass de Czege combat Power Model is used to analyze the systemic impact of proposed changes to U.S. force structure by comparing and contrasting alternative potential unit structures. Finally, the monograph concludes that our uncertain view of the future requires greater caution and flexibility in the force structure we select. It points out that our lack of understanding of the physical trait of agility has led to the flawed methodology used to develop the proposed ALB-F unit structures. The paper recommends a more systemic evaluation for the measurement of potential combat power, unit agility, and the contribution of logistics assets to these traits.

The aim of this study was to (1) use a headform perimeter to evaluate contenderarmy helmets for visual interference; and (2) determine the effectiveness and validity of using the headform perimeter to measure visual interference compared to using human subjects. A headform was made in-house to be used with a standard Goldmann perimeter. The head form perimeter was used to evaluate the six contender helmets for visual obstructions, by measuring loss of field of view (FOV). In a separate study, human subjects FOV measurements were obtained with the same Goldmann perimeter. Subjects' loss of FOV while wearing various helmets were measured. The results showed that: (1) all brimmed helmets caused significant reductions of FOV when compared with baseline measurements (no helmet); (2) brimless helmets (British and Israeli) did not cause any significant reduction of FOV; and (3) the headform FOV data were consistent with subjects' FOV measurements, for three of the six test helmets.

Military Standard Transportation and Movement Procedures (MILSTAMP) is published by direction of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Acquisition and Logistics). This publication contains procedures and Transportation Account Codes (TACs) for use in accounting for transportation funding of Service/Agency shipments within the Defense Transportation System (DTS). The Transportation Operating Agencies (TOAs) bill authorized users of the DTS for services rendered. The information is derived from the Transportation Control and Movement Data (TCMD). To preclude erroneous billing and facilitate Service/Agency disbursements, it is imperative that TACs and other pertinent information contained in the TCMD be complete and accurate. The substantial reformatting and changes incorporated into this publication necessitate careful review prior to use. The implementation date of this regulation is 15 Feb 87.

The purpose of this study is to investigate mechanisms of disequilibrium and imbalance in veterans of Operation Enduring Freedom / Operation Iraqi Freedom who have experienced traumatic brain injury (TBI). The mechanism of chronic dizziness and imbalance after TBI is not known. The hypothesis for this study is that TBI leads to an impairment in the vestibular reflexes that compensate for linear movements of the head and body during standing and walking. The experimental protocol has two parts. First, we use an infrared motion-tracking system to record the movements of the body during balance and walking tasks. Then, we use eye movement recordings during linear and rotational motion to perform a comprehensive assessment of the vestibular reflexes. Data recorded in veterans with a history of TBI are compared to those from neurologically normal control subjects who report no balance problems. To date, we have studied six veterans with TBI and five control subjects, and recruitment is ongoing. Preliminary data have confirmed objective balance and gait data in TBI subjects, but it is not yet clear whether these abnormalities will correlate with specific vestibular deficits.
