Operation Interdependence® is a civilian-to-military delivery system® that serves as a program for Americans to demonstrate their support for our deployed military.

Across the nation, men and women are given orders to deploy on a regular scheduled deployment. These deployments are known to the public and allow our service members and their families to plan. However, special orders are given as well for our nation's military to deploy at a moment's notice.

Operation Interdependence® is designed to support regularly scheduled deployments. Information is given to military officials in order for the military leadership to have a grasp on our support. We do not nor do we want to interfere with special deployments, unless specifically requested by the deployed forces. It is imperative to all participating

with O.I.®, to learn that care packaging can produce an unintended consequence, pulling a service man or woman from vital training only to be placed in a special deployment with training minus the hours lost due to attending to care packages from home.

We are essentially creating the work force from this side of the fence, and contributing to removing a logistical tail that tends to present some required decisions other than focusing on the battle plan. Everything we do must put the decision makers in the best position to carry out the strategies that will secure our freedoms.

Our success will be based on our ability to needing each other, tying all organizations that send care packages to our deployed forces with one civilian-to-military delivery system® that ensures that everyone gets a piece of home every month, just like clock work. Let us change by making America first, and take charge by employing Supply Change Management creating a Capability System that is Efficient and Effective to increase our country's Combat Capability./td>
