<p>The research objective of this thesis is to assess how the Prime Vendor program can provide the military with an exceptional distribution and inventory control method in the event of a contingency. Precisely how wartime resupply will occur is an unresolved issue in current contingency plans. The idea of outsourcing operations (through Prime Vendor) that do not add 'value' to the military enterprise has merit. However, with the introduction of commercial suppliers, the military will still retain control over logistics systems established in hostile conflict zones. Training and logistics interfaces between military personnel and civilian distribution systems will be critical to both the ability to resupply and to forecast demand.
