Phase Zero - preparations,

there is a great undertaking ahead of us and we need to be as self-reliant as possible. We can achieve that in several ways, but the first step is always the same - simplify our supply chain. What do I mean by that?

Every device or piece of equipment we are going to take with us will need its set of spare parts, an expert who can maintain it and space where to store such parts. We will also have to acquire these parts on regular basis - by legal or illegal means - or we will have to build it ourselves if we will have a capacity do so, but that also redirects precious man-hours from more important tasks.

Thus, as a solution, we will have a new set of requirements for every piece of equipment:

1) Reliability - the less it breaks down, the better.
2) Ease of maintenance - if it takes lesser amount of skill to maintain and repair, the better.
3) Multi-functionality - we cannot afford specialized gear.
4) Availability - the more procurement channels available for us, the better.
5) Parts interchangeability - the less specialized spare parts, the better.

Because nature of our operations does not mean "if" we get revealed and declared as "shoot-on-sight" by various parties, but it's "when", we must prepare ourselves from the start. Simplifying our logistical chain is a key for our success and should be an integral part of our strategy overall. We cannot afford to play with fancy toys right now.

Every commander of department is now required to follow this guideline. Even if your department or unit is non functional right now, you have to know what are you going to use in accordance to these guidelines when your department or unit gets restored.
This guideline applies for every piece of equipment - from vessels, fighters, their equipment to personal armors, weapons, kits and ends with basic things like switches, light bulbs, tubes and computers.

Our end-goal should be, that for every piece of equipment currently in use, we would need 2-4 more of it lying in supply depots and source of spare parts or ready to be assembled as replacement.
In the cases of large pieces of kit like hypothetical future capital warships - we would need that many sets of its critical systems lying in our depots - engines, reactors, sensor suites and such.

We haven't achieved anything yet, but this is the right time to adjust our future plans and set our objectives accordingly.

Song Bird,
The Vagrant.
