PURPOSE

This publication contains guidelines for a standardised way of operating the JLSG, its headquarters (HQ) and subordinate units at the tactical level and it will support AJP-4.6. It will clarify the tactical tasks and responsibilities, regardless of whether the JLSG HQ is built upon a JLSG core staff element (CSE) from the NATO Command Structure (NCS) or NATO Force Structure (NFS). This publication will in addition, describe in more detail the coordination and execution of tactical level logistic sustainment including reception, staging and onward movement (RSOM) and rearward movement, staging and dispatch (RMSD). It aims to be usable for all possible JLSGs within the whole spectrum of Alliance Operations and Missions including collective defence.
