Step 4. Logistics support elements determine the scope and cost of
capabilities to meet mission requirements.

Step 5. Operations support and logistics support elements collaborate to
achieve a proper balance between requirements and funding levels.
The outcome identifies the mix, modernization and maintenance of
capabilities that logistics support will provide to operating units.
♦
The capability mix identifies required types and quantities of
workforce skills and infrastructure. It identifies how the skills and
infrastructure will be provided to the workforce. Mix addresses
decisions about maintaining existing skills and infrastructure, or
replacing them with new. Changes in workforce or infrastructure
often affect each other, and close coordination is required.
♦
Modernization brings enhanced capabilities into the Coast Guard to
improve productivity. Enhanced capabilities include new workforce
skills and new equipment or infrastructure and better information.
New workforce skills are introduced via training, hiring, and
contracting for services. New infrastructure is procured or leased.
♦
The Coast Guard will not be successful in the long run if it tries to
build and maintain more capability than resources authorized. The
logistics planning phase is to achieve the proper match and balance
between desired capabilities and resources available.
