In the initial stages of an operation, the MAGTF is most effective and relevant to a JFC by planning for responsive-logistics instead of logistics self-sufficiency. Core to the doctrinal design of a MAGTF is the concept of self-sufficiency, bringing its own embedded logistics to sustain its operations for a specified period. The ACE is the element whose combat power is most dependent on logistics, because the loss of one aircraft has significant impact on the MAGTF's combined-arms capability, and thousands of different components on an aircraft must be functional for the aircraft to be mission-capable. Instead of trying to anticipate every potential mission-critical requirement and bringing it forward, most of the aviation logistics infrastructure can be maintained at an ISB. With minimal investment in intra-theater distribution infrastructure, any Class IX(A) material the ACE requires can be delivered to a FOB within 24 hours. Reorienting on this design for responsive-logistics provides opportunities to accelerate the MAGTF's effectiveness, maintain flexibility, and expand its relevancy. Most importantly, the combined-arms combat potency of the MAGTF is increased by maximizing aircraft availability. The Cargo Resupply Unmanned Aerial System (CRUAS) is a critical enabler.
