Regional Sustainment Framework (RSF): The Roadmap for a Paradigm Shift in Sustainment

In this video, Mr. Joseph Brooks, Regional Sustainment Framework (RSF) Senior Executive Director in the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Product Support, provides his perspective on the RSF. RSF is a DoD initiative aimed at ensuring U.S. and allies and partner sustainment capabilities are up to the challenges posed by today’s rapidly changing global security environment. Simply put, RSF is the regeneration of readiness at the point of need. The primary goals of the RSF are to: (1) Prevail in Contested Logistics Environments; (2) Enhance Military Readiness; and (3) Strengthen Regional Partnerships. The RSF’s critical components are regionalization and prioritization, strategic partner alignment, platforms and systems approach, Defense Industrial Base integration, and identification and removal of impediments or barriers. In the video Mr. Brooks also describes  pathway projects underway with  associated timelines by respective  geographic combatant command. Finally, he describes RSF and the role of the workforce.
