The complexities of large-scale combat operations will test the DoD's ability to manage materiel constraints and mitigate delivery chokepoints. What novel approaches to logistics will enable mobilization, surge, and sustainment of the Joint Force in large, contested areas of responsibility? How can the DoD develop advanced tools to simulate and develop courses of action for the seamless integration of global stocks, in-transit materiel, and procurement delivery schedules with "burn rate" models? What specific objectives, policies, data requirements, and capabilities must be developed to support future forces in this context? How can emerging technologies, concepts, or models be leveraged to overcome domestic and global challenges while enhancing overall operational readiness? Could the establishment of a Manufacturing Security Program, similar to the Tanker Security Program and Maritime Security Program, provide the DoD with a more robust defense industrial base capable of surging the production of critical items during a crisis, armed conflict, or national emergency? Lastly, how does medical support need to change to become more resilient in the face of a peer or near-peer threat?
