Description: This report examines measures of effectiveness in naval logistics. Logistics is a warfare      support function and it is most desirable to be able to relate resources committed for logistics      capabilities to warfare outcomes. In general this cannot be done. Examples of the sorts of      measures of effectiveness used in acquisition logistics and in in-service support are given.      Battle group logistics, a part of operational logistics, is examined not so much from the      viewpoint of measures of effectiveness as from the viewpoint of tactically meaningful      measures of logistics resources. Keywords: Sustainability, Planning models, Replenishment      time, Time off station, Minimum levels. (KR)
