Program requirements are derived from and support these sources below:

• RSLP Mission Need: "Logistics is unable to support quick and responsive acquisitions actions above the GPC threshold. This acquisition actions can include transportation services, emergency maintenance, one of kind equipment procurement and crane services...This gap of support will and has put many missions in harm of delays or cancelation." Examples include but not limited to, tire repairs, battery jumps, diesel generator repair, hydraulic repair and tractor repairs.

• Draft RSLP Logistics PWS: Defines the scope and specific requirements for procurement, services, refurbishment, and transportation necessary to support RSLP missions.

• Space Capstone Publication (Aug 2020): "During conflict, space launch must be dynamic and responsive, providing the ability to augment or reconstitute capability gaps from multiple locations." This principle extends to the ground logistics that make launch possible.
