Regardless of the industry, good maintenance extends operability and creates huge cost savings, sometimes in human lives and also in capital. While it's a little easier to justify a robust maintenance culture in a military context (remember the first year of the Russian campaign in Ukraine when their logistics failed and a huge amount of equipment was NMC?), it's a cost center you neglect to the peril of operational efficiency. Yet, many corporations try to save cost by maintaining a mediocre and often minimal maintenance program, let alone policy (if they even have a maintenance policy). Maintenance should always be a top priority in any area of operation where machines or equipment play a crucial role in mission execution or bringing in revenue. A healthy logistics culture where maintenance is codified and promoted fosters creative solutions from the lowest level, where often truth is discovered from living reality in the trenches. The young mechanic was the very essence of a "strategic corporal" who saw an issue due to great foundational training. Well trained, he could spot the root issue. He was equipped with manuals and enough time to perform systematic analysis to ascertain trends and measure against critical risk. Finally, his leadership empowered him with enough understanding of the big picture, so he was able to correlate the value of his observations with second and third order effects across the fleet, and make strategic recommendations from a tactical level. Someday, this Corporal will make an incredible maintenance warrant officer whose expertise will shape the entire Marine Corps and even the Armed Forces by impacting joint operations across the services. Regardless of the field, maintenance is critical. Good training, a healthy logistics culture that welcomes innovation, and rigorous application of analysis before execution all contribute to more dollars earned and many more dollars saved. #maintenance #culture #logistics #strategiccorporal #USMC #analysisbeforeexecution

Bryan Clark Yeah. So, the Navy is taking these operations out of hide right now. So, the argument would be, well, these ships would be on deployment anyway. We’re essentially just using them for these missions as opposed to doing training or exercises, or whatever they would have done otherwise. But we’re starting to see ships stay on deployment longer than they were intended. We’re seeing ships get deployed earlier. So as a result, we’re burning up a lot of money in terms of just ship operations. And then, like I said, on the back end, what happens is when you’re trying to schedule maintenance, our ship repair capacity is pretty constrained...These ships are going to come back. They’re going to need extra maintenance. That’s going to increase costs. It’s going to bump the next ship down the line to later, which means rescheduling and replanning. That creates more costs. So, we’re creating costs across basically every link of the readiness chain we’ve got ships on deployment longer, needing more repairs, creating scheduling complexity creating more costs for, adaptation on the on the maintenance repair side. And then we’re creating a whole set of new needs in terms of training... Eric White You keep on providing me perfect segues, because I wanted to touch on the manpower issue. And, you know, recruitment. We’ve heard from armed services leaders that recruitment has been tricky nowadays. And when people are seeing action, it can sometimes give a little bit of boost to recruitment in the first part. But then as things stretch on, that kind of has an effect on it. Is that what the Navy is seeing right now? Is it in a similar situation as other branches of the military? Bryan Clark Yeah. So, we just actually did an event with the Marine Corps assistant commandant, and he made the point that the Marines made their recruitment cut quotas. And that’s largely because people believe in the mission. They believe in the culture of the Marines and they’re joining for that reason. So, like you said, in some ways, the current operations are going to be, make it more attractive to join the Navy because you’ll actually go feel like you’re doing something and making a difference. And, you know, in this case, protecting shipping in the Middle East, for example. But you’re right, the stress of know long deployments, you know, going on deployment more frequently, coming home and basically turning right into maintenance as opposed to getting a sort of stand down. Those things are going to really wear on the fleet. And when new recruits are talking to recruiters or talking to people in the Navy, they’re going to get that feedback and that’s going to hurt recruiting. https://lnkd.in/gYh_ZpRz
How exactly is a stretched-thin Navy doing anyhow?

I just wrapped up my latest #airforce deployment and it’s good to be back! About midway through the trip, I was approached to move from my bread and butter - aircraft generation - to leading the support section. I was hesitant to take on the role as I knew almost nothing about the 27 programs managed by the squadron. In the end, it was a great opportunity to grow as a leader and exercise my civilian program management chops. Together the section was able to: ➡ Pass 3/3 hazardous materials inspections (0/2 before I joined) ➡ Gain accountability on 50 vehicles (almost none before) ➡ Build up two short-notice forward deployment kits ➡ Self-help by networking and bring online a new facility (shout out to Justin Bise, I was able to recall some of our old chats!) ➡ Generate dozens of new electronic devices to replace critical broken eTools ➡ Retool our rag program when contractor base access became limited Our success was driven by several factors I consistently communicated to the team: setting priorities, clarifying expectations & goals, delegating, conducting frequent check ins, and perhaps most importantly, making all work visible via a #kanban board. All in all, I was able to add additional layers to my military profession while growing a young team and empowering them to take ownership. Not bad! A little snipped of our work below 👇

Hard work pays off
If you would've told me at any point in my life that I would be conducting a training at the Pentagon, I would've looked at you like you were crazy. The thing is, crazy doesn't mean impossible. I'm super thankful for the opportunity and pray this is just the beginning.

The Army's initiative to streamline its inventory and shed excess gear is one of those moves that, when you've been in the thick of it, you can't help but think, "Well, it's about time!" Speaking from personal experience, managing a company's property book, especially during my stint as a headquarters platoon sergeant in Kuwait and Iraq, was like trying to keep afloat in a sea of bureaucratic red tape, all while surrounded by a flotilla of obsolete equipment. Reading about the Rapid Removal of Excess Pilot Program, I couldn't help but nod along, remembering the countless hours spent accounting for gear that had seen better days or, frankly, no action at all. This gear wasn't just gathering dust; it was eating into precious time that could have been spent on training, maintenance of essential equipment, or even just giving the troops a breather. The shift towards a leaner, more agile force is not just a logistical or administrative change; it's a strategic one. As the Army focuses on readiness for conventional warfare, the weight of unnecessary gear, both literally and figuratively, can't be underestimated. The pilot program's approach, especially the part about cutting through the red tape to expedite the removal process, is a breath of fresh air. It's fascinating, and frankly, a bit relieving to see the Army taking such a proactive stance on something that, at the ground level, often felt like shouting into the wind. The acknowledgement from the top brass that time spent on inventorying and maintaining unused gear is time wasted signals a significant shift in priorities. For those of us who've had to lug around or account for gear that felt more like museum pieces than functional equipment, this move is more than just administrative; it's a morale booster. It's a recognition of the practicalities and pressures at the unit level and a move towards valuing efficiency and effectiveness over sheer quantity. Reflecting on the days of navigating property books that felt more like encyclopedias, the initiative to lighten the load, both literally and bureaucratically, is a step in the right direction. It's about making the Army not just a fighting force, but a smarter, more focused one. Here's hoping the program's success leads to a permanent change in how the Army views and handles its gear. After all, it's not just about having equipment; it's about having the right equipment ready at the right time. https://lnkd.in/egrdDPEw

The United States Department of Defense is creating regional partnerships to better sustain military equipment and capabilities forward in operational theaters, starting with the Indo-Pacific region. The Pentagon's new approach aims to move away from the traditional reliance on hauling equipment back to the United States for repairs. Instead, it seeks to leverage the existing maintenance, repair, and overhaul capabilities of U.S. allies and partners in various regions, reducing the need for long, over-ocean transportation. During the Talisman Sabre exercise in Australia, a damaged vehicle was repaired locally using Australian parts, demonstrating the potential of regional sustainment efforts. This strategy is critical for future conflicts, particularly with China, as it enhances the ability to fix gear close to the fight and reduces reliance on vulnerable supply lines. It also introduces uncertainty for adversaries, potentially strengthening deterrence. #Pentagon #Military #Logistics #Sustainment #RegionalPartnerships #IndoPacific #FutureBattlespace

Synchronize, Train, Certify – Elevating Sustainment Success Ensuring sustainment success requires continuous synchronization and proper training at all echelons. Company supply teams must be certified, much like the Integrated Weapons Training Strategy (IWTS), to manage responsibilities effectively. Investing in supply team certification fosters a common understanding of standards, enhances supply chain proficiency, and prepares units for future modernization efforts. By prioritizing synchronized training, we can elevate the effectiveness and readiness of our sustainment teams. ✍️: Maj. Mikhail Jackson #ReadMore ⬇️
