The main article in this issue is entitled "War Without Oil." On 31 January 2006, President Bush pronounced in his annual State of the Union Address, that "America is addicted to oil." and that the key to eliminating US dependence on foreign energy was through the application of breakthrough technologies as part of this Advanced Energy Initiative (AEI). Focused on revolutionizing energy sources and used for facilities and automotive applications, the President proposed increasing Department of Energy (DoE) research and development (R&D) funding by 22 percent to accelerate technologies in clean coal consumption, nuclear energy, solar, wind, biofuel renewables, hybrids, and fuel-cells in order to move beyond a petroleum-based economy. The President's AEI represents one of the numerous energy independence proposals to surface on the nation's agenda since the Arab oil embargo of 1973. Despite decades of effort by government institutions, industry, and academia to free America of its petroleum addiction, the simple fact is that over the last 30 30 years American oil consumption has increased by one-third and imports have more than doubled. By 2025 the Energy Information Agency predicts that Americans will be importing 68 percent of their petroleum needs. Other articles concern contemporary issues such as risk analysis, history of logistics.

To win in battle we must concentrate combat power in time and space. Strategy and tactics are concerned with the questions of what time and what place; these are the ends, not the means. The means of victory is concentration, and that process is our focus here. There are only four key factors to think about if we seek success in concentration. This is not a simple task. Although few in number, their impact, dynamics and interdependencies are hard to grasp. This is a problem as much of perspective as of substance. It concerns the way we think, as much as what we are looking at. The factors are not functions, objects or even processes. They are best regarded as conditions representing the nature of what we are dealing with in seeking concentration. They are: Variability Uncertainty - Synchronicity - Complexity

The Air Force has embarked on a sustainment vision that transforms the purchasing and supply chain management functions to better support the warfighter. The task at hand is to provide world-class materiel support at the best possible price. To do this, most would agree that an overhaul of the supply chain management process is needed. In "Supply Chain Management: Analyzing Industry and Air Force Metrics" Mr. Marshall presents a comparative analysis of industry and Air Force supply chain metrics along with an assessment of the measures to determine the effectiveness of Air Force SCM transformation. The assessment provides several recommendations to improve the current suite of metrics used to manage the Air Force supply chain. Supply chain management is a complex process and no single research effort will yield all of the answers to the suite of metrics that should be used. This article summarizes those best practices that seem to indicate successful SCM implementation and operation.
