  area and the defense industrial base with relevant speed. Management of the abundance of
  sustainment data relies on a common data repository and automation to perform predictive analysis
  and near-real-time assessments. Exploiting information through robotics and other tools will drive
  anticipatory sustainment decisions, with commensurate authorities at echelon to act upon timely and
  relevant information.
  • Accessible, protected, and interoperable sustainment information systems: Army forces must
  integrate and synchronize sustainment information systems with those of joint Services, unified
  action partners, and allies to achieve better interoperability, visibility, and understanding of
  sustainment requirements. Critical sustainment information systems must be secure, protected,
  defensible within the Army communications network, and capable of withstanding or mitigating
  attacks and degradation. Future enterprise resource planning information, information management,
  and battle management systems must have the ability to connect to and be interoperable with the
  other Services as part of the overall joint logistics enterprise, along with unified action partners and
  allies through the mission partner environment.
  • Informed command and control: Leaders base timely decisions on accurate and actionable
  information. Future Army forces achieve sustainment decision advantage on the battlefield by
  increasing the speed of the decision cycle for commanders at all echelons. Sustainment information
  (for example, location, consumption, quantity, current capacity, projected capacity, and availability)
  must be integrated and governed by command relationships, authorities, and regulations at echelon
  to enable decisions.

  1-49. Army sustainment enables operations by providing the support required to keep the Army and its
  unified action partners engaged in operations across the strategic and operational frameworks. The strategic
  framework accounts for factors in the strategic environment and the connection of strategic capabilities to
  operational and tactical-level operations. The strategic framework includes four areas: strategic support area,
  joint security area, extended deep area, and assigned operational area. The sustainment warfighting function
  enables the freedom of action, extended operational reach, and prolonged endurance needed to conduct and
  sustain operations across the strategic and operational frameworks. The operational framework is a cognitive
  tool used to assist commanders and staffs in clearly visualizing and describing the application of combat
  power in time, space, purpose, and resources in the concept of operations (ADP 1-01). The operational
  framework consists of assigned areas; deep, close, and rear operations; and main effort, supporting effort,
  and reserve. Sustainment forces can be found throughout the operational framework, with the majority
  conducting operations from rear and close areas. Figure 1-3 on page 16 depicts the operational framework in
  the context of the strategic framework. For additional information on the operational framework in the
  context of the strategic framework, see FM 3-0.
