Logistics Doctrine, Systems and Process--Necessary for Academia, Tolerated inPeace, Ignored and/or Irrelevant in War

摘要

The purpose of this paper is to review the facts which document why, with on ofthe lessons we have learned in studying warfare, logistics exists today in an adversarial environment. This paper addresses a review of doctrine; points about competence, knowledge, education and training; force structure; and personnel management to determine the shortfalls in any or all of these areas which might cause this phenomenon and/or might perpetuate it. Finally, it offers recommendations of means to deal with the issue, in the hopes of minimizing its effects or eliminating it all together.
