PURPOSE
This charter establishes the Logistics Vision Team (LPV-1) within the staff of the Director, LP Division that works within the Deputy Commandant for Installations and Logistics (DC, I&L) Department. This charter defines mission and functions.
BACKGROUND
DC, I&L as the Combat Service Support (CSS) advocate is responsible for ensuring Marine Corps forces and, in particular, its deploying Marine Air Ground Task Forces (MAGTF's) contain the necessary CSS capabilities to meet mission requirements. CSS capabilities are those capabilities, supplies, personnel and equipment necessary to support a MAGTF from the initiation of operations to the accomplishment of its mission.
DC, I&L will work with the Operating Forces; Commander, Marine Corps Logistics Command (MARCORLOGCOM); CG, Marine Corps Combat Development Command (MCCDC) in identifying logistical requirements (capabilities/systems) needed for equipping and sustaining Marine Corps forces. DC, I&L (LP) works with these commands within the Combat Development System (CDS) to ensure that the right logistical force capabilities and systems are properly identified, coordinated, and acquired through the POM/Budget/Acquisition process to support evolving future Marine Corps operational concepts.
LOGISTICS COMMAND AND CONTROL (LOG C2)
LPV acts as a focal point for Log C2 in so much as this function is heavily reliant on and supported by logistics information technology. Specifically, LPV coordinates and integrates Log IT with Force Deployment Planning and Execution (FDP&E) and Sustainment processes.
SEA-BASED LOGISTICS
LPV continues to support and provide the vision of the future that requires fundamental changes in the way we provide logistics support to a MAGTFs. By reducing or eliminating the logistics footprint ashore, Sea Basing will make NAVAL Logistics more effective as we reengineer our practices and processes.

The Log IT Triad is an informal team that includes the Deputy Program Manager for Combat Support Information Systems at Marine Corps Systems Command and the AIS Section Head, CSS Branch, Requirements Division, MCCDC. The purpose of the Triad is to ensure coordinated efforts for Log IT within the Combat Development System.
