Summary	The study will highlight what capabilities are needed to support naval surface combatants and expeditionary marine forces for the Marine Littoral Regiment's (MLR) projected 2045 force structure. These needs will be defined by the Future Afloat Logistics Force Initial Capabilities (FALFIC) document. This study will model and examine the projected state of USN and MSC logistics capabilities to assess whether the projected capabilities are sufficient to support combat operations in the INDOPACOM AOR. This effort will use demand and logistics modeling to identify capability gaps by evaluating three logistics platforms currently under consideration. This study will build upon prior work examining the benefits of switching to a single fuel operating concept in NAVEUR AOR and will further explore the benefits of single fuel (JP-5) in INDOPACOM.
