Northern Strike 26

Team JEDI at Northern Strike 26

Practical "Fight Tonight" solutions for multinational contested logistics — built, integrated, and validated in the field.

Team JEDI leveraged its extensive logistics expertise, multinational partnerships, and operational experience to enhance asset visibility and sustainment operations, giving commanders and staffs the ability to identify, deconflict, and mitigate contested logistics challenges during planning and execution. Through the development, integration, and validation of practical "Fight Tonight" solutions, Team JEDI addressed the complex demands of multinational contested logistics during Northern Strike 26 — a series of operational trials evaluating tools, technologies, and procedures across multiple domains, transportation modes, and logistics command and control (C2) functions.

Key Accomplishments

What Team JEDI proved at NS26

Multinational Sustainment COIC

Established and operated a Combined Operational Integration Center built on LOGFAS and MNLOGCOP.

The Multinational Sustainment Combined Operational Integration Center (COIC) ran on Logistics Functional Area Services (LOGFAS) and the Multinational Logistics Common Operational Picture (MNLOGCOP), giving the exercise a working coalition sustainment cell rather than a paper concept.

In-Transit Visibility

Demonstrated near real-time tracking of personnel, equipment, and sustainment activities.

In-Transit Visibility (ITV) capabilities gave staffs a live picture of movement as it happened, instead of a reconstructed one after the fact.

CROS

Validated a logistics optimization tool for routing users to critical resources in contested environments.

The Commercial Resource Optimization System (CROS) was validated for its ability to rapidly identify and route users to the resources they need when contested conditions make the usual paths unreliable.

Class VIII Medical Logistics

Enhanced visibility into medical supply tracking and reporting.

Team JEDI tracked and reported Class VIII medical supplies through LOGFAS and MNLOGCOP, extending the same interoperable data model to the medical logistics chain.

Mortuary Affairs Tracking

Demonstrated existing logistics tracking systems repurposed for a sensitive mission set.

LOGFAS EVE mission sets and JEDI-X MNLOGCOP successfully monitored the location, movement, and accountability of training cadavers in support of Mortuary Affairs operations.

Takeaway

Interoperable data, proven under contested conditions.

Collectively, these efforts demonstrated the operational value of interoperable logistics systems, enhanced data visibility, and multinational collaboration in strengthening sustainment readiness and decision-making in contested environments.
