Professionals talk logistics.” Military operations are utterly dependent on complex supply chains to move food, fuel, and other essential products across long distances and through contested environments to reach the warfighter. These vital supply lines are fragile at every stage: production concentrated in a single facility can be disrupted, key inputs may come from unreliable — or adversarial — foreign suppliers, and the ports, airfields, and roads that deliver goods the final mile are often the most vulnerable.The threat of this fragility eroding a modern force’s capabilities is very real.
