MAKING 3,000 LOOK LIKE 30,000

The 10RSG TAC had the authority to reposition any personnel, supplies, or equipment without consulting the MCPs to flatten the command-and-control structure and increase its effectiveness. 10RSG engineered each logistics task force (LTF) separately to support the unique mission at the base camps. Before the lead-up to the mission, the LTF led conducted site surveys, attended every joint exercise life cycle ( JELC), prepared and presented every significant product for the event, and conducted all rehearsals. The 10RSG command team was involved at every level, from receiving the mission analysis brief, participating in course-of-action development and selection, and ultimately approving the mission. 10RSG dedicated a significant amount of time and energy to wargaming and analyzing every step of the operation to ensure mission success. [...]several truisms can be transferred to a larger audience to reduce sustainment manning and increase the effectiveness of support operations: * Choosing the right leader and maintaining command engagement through every step of the operation. * Conducting mission analysis and wargaming.
