The extent, to w hich ANG units are able to perform these critical functions, depends, in large part, on how effectively they are able to plan and predict the logistics requirements necessary to achieve these goals. In an era of shrinking budgets, and limited resources, i t is paramount that ANG units are provided with the data and data management tools required to track and analyze resource utilization on a daily basis, at the lowest operational level, and redirect requirements as necessary to increase effectiveness in res ponse to a dynamic operational environment.
