 TRANSCOM Head Envisions Increased Intra-Theater Lift Demand

The Joint Warfighting Concept will "envision much smaller force elements that are inherently reliant on very rapid mobility" within a theater, says TRANSCOM head Gen. Stephen Lyons.

WASHINGTON: America’s new way of war, soon to be articulated in the Joint Warfighting Concept, will require more and different intra-theater lift capabilities, says the outgoing head of Transportation Command.

“What we see, as we look to the future, is actually some increasing demands on the logistics enterprise, and specifically with regard to intra-theater transport, whether that be surface oriented with more shallow-draft kinds of vessels or air mobility,” Gen. Stephen Lyons told the Hudson Institute.

“That’s an area we’re still exploring, because many of the concepts in the force design work are still in development,” he added. “The logistics aspects of that — the mathematical aspects or the calculus — that will follow based on the concept and based on the force design work that comes out of that, but we certainly see increasing demands.”
