Logistics Operations in Combat Operations Against an Insurgent Force

Abstract

Conducting logistics operations in dispersed combat operations against a predominately insurgent force is an issue that military leaders struggle with today. Supplying the force requires leaders to deploy hundreds of combat logistics patrols each day. The road networks are generally not secure and put soldiers at risk. How do we distribute supplies and reduce the risk or avoid the enemy's threat to our combat logistics patrols in an insurgent environment? The options and issues we will explore are the new threats and alternative methods to distribute supplies to the force.
