Lucky Warrior

US Army Materiel Command's Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) Warfighter '00 (LWFE'00) and ARCENT's Lucky Warrior 00-2 (LW 00-2) was conducted from 16-21 July 2000 at ARCENT Headquarters at Ft. McPherson, Georgia and at the 377th Theater Support Command's James H. Diamond Reserve Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. Throughout the exercise there was additional Army Component down trace unit involvement at other distributed locations in the CONUS.

LUCKY WARRIOR 00-2 was a computer assisted, Master Scenario Event List (MSEL) enhanced, Command Post Exercise (CPX) conducted in support of mission essential tasks and responsibilities at the strategic and operational levels of war. Participation by the 377th TSC and the Logistics Civil Augmentation Program will provide the ARCENT staff an opportunity to train with the CS/CSS units designated to support Southwest Asia OPLANs.

LOGCAP's participation in the exercise familiarized both ARCENT and 377th TSC staffs with processes and procedures established by AMC to accomplish CS/CSS type support through contractual services when CS/CSS units are not available in the theater. The primary focus of the exercise was on conducting reception, staging and onward movement and integration (RSO&I) of Army forces and protection of those forces as they pass through support bases to their tactical assembly areas. Integration of forces into the command was played to the extent practical using Master Scenario Event Lists as the RSO&I driver.

The process of receiving forces, equipping them with APS 5/3 equipment, staging, moving the forces forward and integrating them into the command structure is a total staff responsibility. Therefore, LOGCAP Warfighter '00 / Lucky Warrior 00-2 / LUCKY WARRIOR 00-2 was a total staff exercise involving all assigned personnel present for duty, to include deployable Department of the Army civilians.

This Command Post Exercise (CPX) is one in a series of exercises used to prepare the ARCENT staff and its down trace units for the larger CENTCOM exercise (Internal Look), which took place in the Fall of 2000.
