Macrologistics is a strategic view of logistics as a production factor on national scales to support a shift towards sustainability. The book details logistics' evolution from a functional discipline to a value chain optimiser and, ultimately, an enabler of sustainability, including the evolution of metrics to support this shift. Macrologistics instrumentation involves striving towards the lowest total cost of ownership for national economies where, to improve decision-making, these costs should ultimately include the societal and ecological costs incurred due to logistics activities. From Logistics Strategy to Macrologistics represents macrologistics research outputs for a number of developing economies, identifying distinctive macrologistics policy and infrastructure investments themes to address national logistics challenges in developing economies. The book culminates in a discussion on the potential future role of logistics to support the shift to a more sustainable society, where an acceptance of a degrowth paradigm might be required, and even advisable, for a more secure, fulfilling future. Logistics (and economics) scholars, researchers and practitioners should steer their work towards contributing to the development of an ecologically sustainable society, where resources and returns are shared widely, sustainably and equitably.

Focused Logistics is one of four key tenets of both JV2010 and JV2020. With information superiority as its basis, JV2010 and JV2020 provide a framework to leverage technological advances. Optimum information architectures, which allow information to flow effectively between Joint and coalition air-, land- and sea-based forces, must be fielded to enable precision war fighting and ensure victory with minimal assets and lowest possible losses. Focused Logistics will be the fusion of information, logistics and transportation technologies to provide rapid crisis response, to track and shift assets even while en route, and to deliver tailored logistics packages and sustainment directly at the strategic, tactical and operational level of operations. Net-centric Warfare has evolved based on a co-evolution of economics, information technology, and business processes and organizations. These processes are linked by the shift in focus from the platform to the network, the shift from viewing actors as independent to viewing them as part of a continuously adapting ecosystem, and the importance of making strategic choices to adapt or even survive in such changing ecosystems. This paper will use net-centric warfare concepts to recommend changes in order to present an integrated concept toward achieving the Focused Logistics tenet of JV2020.
