Abstract
The Joint Chiefs of Staff are concerned about the military's ability to deter
enemy action and counter enemy forces. In an effort to assess capabilities and have a
basis for apportioning necessary items, the Unified Commands were asked to identify
critical items. This paper looks at the various methods the Navy uses to determine
critical items with the objective of finding a consistent method for critical item
determination. Based on the results of research, the validity of existing programs used
in critical item identification could improve if there was more communication between
the Fleet Commander in Chief and his Type Commanders and Navy Supply Systems
Command. Better communication would also make model results available to all for
use in planning.
