Challenges to Mission Support
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Short timeline for mission deployment
Complex, multi-component missions
Logistically challenging environments
More TCC with limited COE self-sustainment
capability
Procurement lead time
Personnel recruitment lead time
Increased reliance on service contractors
Contracts Management
Safety and security
