The monograph advocates for the establishment of a Unified Combatant Command-level USLOGCOM within the Department of Defense (DoD) over a 10-20 year period. It proposes making the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) an operational subordinate command of U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) and suggests further organizational changes to enhance logistics efficiency. Citing extensive research from reputable organizations, it questions the lack of implementation of previous consolidation recommendations and offers four potential reasons for this inertia, highlighting issues of authority, decision-making, and resource allocation.
