J4 - Logistics
J4’s top priority is to provide world-class logistics support to those forces conducting Operation New Dawn, Operation Enduring Freedom, International Security Assistance Force and other EUCOM operations. As the logistics directorate, it enables strategic and operational readiness by coordinating logistics, health readiness, engineering and humanitarian support throughout EUCOM’s theater and optimizing joint and multinational force abilities. It focuses on maintaining freedom of access across the theater, as well as cost-saving initiatives that provide better and faster logistics. Additionally, the J4 Directorate directly influences EUCOM’s military construction infrastructure posture, preparing the command for future missions in Europe.
The directorate is committed to developing lasting relationships with its logistics counterparts and strives to expand U.S. participation in NATO and multinational logistics. By building sustainable partner nation capacity in the area of logistics – via training, joint exercises, theater security cooperation, etc. – the logistics staff strengthen U.S. relationships with these partners and contribute to long-range regional stability.
Special emphasis is placed on expanding and enhancing EUCOM’s civil-military (humanitarian assistance) operations in the European region – from building schools in Moldova to providing disaster relief support to Israeli and Russia wildfire victims. The Helping People initiative, too, provides opportunities to partner with NGOs, USAID and other private partners with similar objectives.
Responsibilities include:
- Ensuring EUCOM is operationally aligned and integrated with the commander’s priorities
- Shaping theater-wide logistics operations, processes and capabilities every day
- Using logistics as an engagement tool with multinational partners – building sustainable partner capacity and strengthening relationships
- Integrating activities in a “whole of government” approach
- Improving interoperability with coalition partners and optimizing the U.S. and multinational logistics enterprise to the fullest extent
