Enclosure (1) to COMDTINST 4000.5A
1. For this comparison, we transform the end-states into the following
questions:
a.
Has the Coast Guard identified the right mix of capabilities (people,
infrastructure, and information) needed to do the right missions?
b.
Is the Coast Guard rightly sized and shaped for the dollars allocated?
c.
Has the Coast Guard produced the right mix of capabilities (people,
infrastructure and information)?
d.
Is the Coast Guard rightly modernized and positioned for the future?
e.
Is the Coast Guard infrastructure and information rightly maintained?
f.
Is the Coast Guard workforce rightly trained, maintained and ready
when needed?
g.
Do Coast Guard operating units have the right capabilities (people,
infrastructure, and information) to do the right missions?
2.
These questions overlay the logistics process as shown in Figure 10. The
answers to the seven questions measure the "health" of our logistics
system. If we answer "yes" to all questions, we know our process is
operating properly. If we answer "no" to a question, we need to take
corrective action.
