Synchronizing Logistics

Understanding how all support assets work together will ensure the success of any operation you plan — no matter how big or small.

Below are some simple sync matrixes you can use to ensure you got all your bases covered next time you execute. These can be applied to several different levels. The higher the level, the more logistical detail it will require. The smaller the unit, the better you can focus on the more finite time based details.

These can be easily broken down into your slots or half days, depending on the operational tempo. This is a great introduction for young NCOs to start learning how the big picture comes together. Phase lines and tactical control measures can also be included to paint a better operational picture.
