Logistics in Military
Traditionally, military logistics have been measured in two ways. One way has been to investigate the supply system that has been used. The other way has been concentrated around transport and the remedies used to transport larger amounts of supplies faster and faster. The development may be described as a continuing process without splitting it up into periods.
Logistics has been given many different meanings and views. In military terms, the most used definition says that logistics is everything but fighting itself. That means, no war can be fought without logistics support. Logistics in military includes determination of requirements, production, storage, training, transportation, supply, distribution, maintenance and disposal. Logistics determines the movement and supply of troops in the field. If you look at the World Wars I and II, the Korean War, Gulf War and the Iraq War, logistics played all-important role in determining the course of the wars.
