INTEGRATION
The ability to meet changing logistical requirements on short notice.
RESPONSIVENESS
Ensuring that an operation is not affected by a lapse in support or by unforeseen events.

IMPETUS FROM THE REAR-CSS
CSS Principles
- is a simple plan, simple organization, and a simple system is more likely to work well than a complicate plan, organization and system.
Simplicity

RELIABILITY
CSS Principles

TIMELINESS
CSS Principles

AUTHORITY
CSS Principles
- using only whatever service support resources is needed.
ECONOMY
