Leaders win through logistics. Vision, sure. Strategy, yes. But when you go to war, you need to have both toilet paper and bullets at the right place at the right time. In other words, you must win through superior logistics.<\/p>\n

Logistics \u2026 in the broadest sense, the three big M\u2019s of warfare \u2013 material, movement, and maintenance. If international politics is \u2018the art of the possible,\u2019 and war is its instrument, logistics is the art of defining and extending the possible. It provides the substance that physically permits an army to live and move and have its being.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Logistics \u2026 as vital to military success as daily food is to daily work.                                                                                                      <\/p>\n

The more I see of war, the more I realize how it all depends on administration and transportation\u2026  It takes little skill or imagination to see where you would like your army to be and when; it takes much knowledge and hard work to know where you can place our forces and whether you can maintain them there. A real knowledge of supply and movement factors must be the basis of every leader\u2019s plan; only then can he know how and when to take risks with those factors, and battles are won only by taking risks.<\/p>\n
