Logistics, the means of strategy and tactics, determines what is practically possible in war. Its nature is expressed in operational choices and decisions. Therefore, understanding its nature is vital to operational commanders and leaders.

Thanks, in advance, for wanting to contribute to the discussion on military logistics!

Logistics in War welcomes any articles of between 1000-1500 original words of analysis and commentary on topics relating to military logistics and its impact on modern warfare. Shorter and longer pieces may be accepted; longer pieces are likely to be published these serially, after discussions with the author.

Logistics in War has an international audience, and all submissions should be made as broadly applicable as possible. This means – no jargon, and spell out acronyms first use!

• Logistic lessons from operations,
• Training and exercising logistics,
• Logistics in the future battlespace,
• The influence of technology on change in logistics,
• Combatant requirements of logistics,
