AJP-4(A), ALLIED JOINT LOGISTIC DOCTRINE (DEC 2003)

AJP-4(A), ALLIED JOINT LOGISTIC DOCTRINE (DEC 2003)., AJP-4 is emergent NATO Logistics Doctrine emphasising Multinational Support. IFOR brought a ground swell within the Policy and Logistics communities to develop joint and combined logistic doctrine for NATO, expanding beyond simply national self-support policies. With all the nations having downsized their Combat Service Support (CSS), NATO would have to accept some level of multinational logistics in order to support Art 5 and non-Art 5 operations. To encourage a sense of ownership, nations and subordinate commands participated in developing the outline and all three formal AJP-4 draft publications distributed in the past 18 months. We are extremely grateful for your contributions and insights that have allowed us to expeditiously produce AJP-4.
