Planning for future events is critical at every level of command in the Army. Combat units plan for future contingencies based on intelligence gathered about enemy operations, and logisticians plan for supply operations based on the plans of combat units. Typically, logistics planning for an operation is conducted by school-trained logisticians (officers in positions identified as functional area 90 [multifunctional logistics]) who work on Army-, theater-, corps-, division-, and sometimes brigade-level staffs. This planning usually results in logistics estimates or concepts of support and includes detailed plans on how, where, and sometimes when units will be resupplied.
