Integration of Contractor Logistics Support with U.S. Military Operations

One of the primary differentiators that separate CSMI from its competitors is CSMI’s extensive US Military background and tactical experience. All CSMI contractor logistics support personnel are former US military members with extensive field operations experience. This experience provides a realistic perspective when planning and executing the deployment and sustainment of security technologies for OEM’s and/or the deployed US warfighter.

All CSMI field managers have previous operations management experience from careers with the US MIlitary which include the US Army Special Operations community. Experience operating in dynamic and fast paced environments directly translates into deliberate and efficient deployment of technology systems that are designed to meet the US Military Commander’s intent for Physical Security and Force Protection. Having a clear and thorough understanding of US Military security requirements and technology capabilities, CSMI contractor logistics support teams quickly integrate with the US Military infrastructure at all levels from regional unit commanders to the Soldier/Marine system operator in the field. CSMI Field Managers work closely with US Military counterparts to ensure that technology applications and sustainment keep pace with the rapidly changing operational, and often hostile, environment.

CSMI’s significant experience planning, executing, and supporting field operations in remote OCONUS regions with minimal support, provides our customers with a unique and realistic perspective when planning for service and support of technologies in difficult to support locations. All CSMI managers have developed and executed primary and contingency plans when planning sustainment operations. Some of the factors to be considered are:

• Multiple means of logistical support and redundancy for:
• Transportation
• Communications
• Supply chain – US Military, commercial, local or combination
• Parts support (local economy or neighboring country if required)
• Life support for field personnel
• Technical augmentation if required
• Contingency planning for emergencies
• Forward based support personnel and spare parts
• Integration of support personnel with ground units
• Frequent communication and coordination with US Military Command structure
