Operations Odyssey Dawn and Unified Protector were logistical triumphs that combined the efforts of U.S. European Command (USEUCOM), U.S. Africa Command (USAFRICOM), and NATO in essentially “come as you are” operations. Events unfolded too rapidly for major force deployments from the continental United States and called for shifting staff structures and alignments. The operational forces mainly belonged to ESEUCOM and operated from that command’s area of responsibility, but they were employed by USAFRICOM. Matters were further complicated by the transition to a NATO-led operation. Logistical support thus required coordination, flexibility, and cooperation, and the tailored response to the myriad challenges are emblematic of the future we can expect. These operations can be mined for a variety of lessons for logistics planning, doctrine, and execution especially with regard to the no-notice nature of the initial efforts, complexity of the logistics enterprise, and issues associated with USEUCOM-USAFRICOM-NATO coordination
