Field Resource Management

Summary

Operational guidance for managing limited resources during deployment while preserving the ability to complete the assigned objective.

Purpose

Resources available during an operation are finite. LOG therefore prioritises mission completion, operational continuity and flexibility over unnecessary accumulation.

Resource Priority

Management Principle

"Possession does not equal utility." Personnel should periodically reassess available resources rather than carrying everything simply because it is available. A resource that prevents the completion of the primary objective should not be prioritised over the objective itself.

Logistics Review

At the conclusion of a deployment, personnel should review: - resources consumed - resources retained - equipment that proved unnecessary - equipment that was unavailable when required - preparation issues encountered before deployment This information may be used to improve future deployment configurations.
