Director far Logistics (J-4)

The Logistics Directorate, J-4, under the leadership of VADM Gordon S. Holder, USN, serves the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in his primary role as advisor to the National Command Authorities. The J-4 provides a strategic and joint perspective on strategic lift, logistics, medical, and engineering advice to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Unified Commands. In addition to focusing on current joint operational requirements, major departmental programs include Logistics Transformation, Joint Vision (Focused Logistics), Deployment Process Improvements, and Force Health Protection. Although the Joint Staff has no command or logistics executive authority, it serves as a major coordinating agency within the planning and programming systems. The Director for Logistics is supported by Brigadier General Henry L. Taylor, USAF, the Vice Director for Logistics; RADM John M. Mateczun, USN, Joint Staff Surgeon; MG Celia L. Adolphi, USAR, Deputy Director for Logistics Operations (IMA); and MG Ralph L. Haynes, USAR, Deputy Director for Medical Support (IMA). The J-4 Directorate consists of nine divisions with approximately 100 personnel on the staff.

The Plans, Exercises and Analysis Division serves as the Directorate's integrator for joint logistics issues relating to combatant commanders' operational plans, concept plans and theater engagement plans. The division ensures integration of logistics planning into joint and service wargames and exercises, and is the lead for the Focused Logistics Warfighting (FLOW) program. The division conducts analyses tied to logistics requirements and integrates new analytic technologies into the directorate. Additionally, the division coordinates multinational logistics initiatives that pertain to Logistics Staff Talks and bi-lateral agreements with NATO and other multinational partners.
