The Lost Art of Tactical Logistics
Abstract
The Army's success in future battles on the front lines will be based on the logistical foundation upon which it is supported. The continued improvement in the tactical logistical soldier rather than the sole dependency on emerging technology will be the determination of a successful outcome versus a catastrophic failure in supporting the fight. Innovation has become the driving force in the elimination of tactical logistics. The Army has placed emphasis on technology driven applications that could potentially remove logistical soldiers from the front lines rather than foster an atmosphere for the development of tactical logisticians. The Army's logistical success on any future battlefield cannot solely rest on the shoulders of technological innovations alone. Instead the Army must continue to develop and improve the tactical logistic soldiers themselves. The Anny can do this by meshing technology with soldier capability, while incorporating innovation and enhancing tactical training for logistical soldiers while matching the Army's growing modernization priorities.
