Logistical Considerations in Low Intensity Conflict. CLIC PAPERS

Abstract

This paper provides considerations for the employment of logistical support in low intensity conflict. While the fundamental principles of logis tics apply across the spectrum of conflict, it is the application or adaptation of these principles to the LIC environment that present unique challenges to th e logistician. LIC is not business as usual. It is usually prosecuted under peacetime laws and regulations. It requires ingenuity, imagination, and flexibility to tailor the logistics resources to effectively and efficiently supp ort the mission objective. In the LIC environment, the logistician will be expected to take the lead and will be a planner, operator, and teacher. These roles will require mental agility as well as a good dose of common sense.
