Logistics and Global Terrorism
Each SLP assignment consists of two activities. See SLP 1 for a complete description of each.
Activity 1 (Assessment Phase)
Refer to the organization nominated in SLP 1. Discuss the major operational threats the organization's logistical functions face as a result of global terrorism.
Activity 2 (Improvement Phase)
What might the organization do better, to mitigate the terrorist threats to its logistics operations?
Armed forces personnel who cannot address these questions owing to security concerns should examine a larger question. What logistical threats does the nation face, and how can these risks be reduced?
SLP Assignment Expectations
Demonstrate an understanding of how domestic and global terrorism threaten the logistics of the nominated organization. Discuss how these risks may be mitigated. Creatively synthesize current and past course material to devise solutions that balance security with efficiency and effectiveness.
