You already know that logistics is hard, it should not be, but it just is. The key components to supply and movement consist of receive, store, issue, and move. It should be that simple.
Bottom line: it just is not that simple. There are too many moveable parts where the synergy of the operation could provide a scenario where the combined requirements needed to sustain a theater are greater than the sum of their individual effects or capabilities.
. This book outlines some of these logistical
components and their doctrinal relationship to the
operation, as well as provides some new ideas.
. The chapters are formatted in a fashion that offer the
reader the doctrinal concept that the operation or
function is based on, and then presents new theories
on how to better execute the logistical function or
capability as it relates to the operation.
. The goal is to discuss those hard logistical topics
and their conception to improve the general knowledge
and understanding on "why it happens", and "how we
can improve the outcome".
