The Multi-Domain will not allow for Silos. They are going to have to coordinate and cooperate and to the best of their ability limit redundancy and waste. Joint operations and Combined Arms require thinking with one brain. A revolution is going on in Supply, Procurement, Sustainment, Acquisition and Logistics inside Defense Department. You can see how extraordinary the DPA money was to the goofy little company eMagin and the need to protect the company as a Critical Supplier, they are very much a part of this. This Intel stuff looks like an attempt to consolidate and streamline the overall effort

The supply chain for joint operations serves a joint force. However, military services, geographic combatant commanders, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), and other combat support agencies make independent decisions about the purchase and positioning of spares and ordnance.

Distribution is not, however, the area of greatest concern when we discuss defense-related supply chains. The Department of Defense has begun assessing the physical vulnerability of supply chains and is taking effort to mitigate the problems. However, the larger problem is that the nation’s industrial base has shifted in ways that make resupply of some key components highly questionable during periods of crisis and heightened operational tempo, with war being the most radical of these conditions.
