Abstract
AbstractMilitary logistics can be seen as a set of processes that supports military organizations in their development into a capable and functional sustaining military force. Thus, the objective of this chapter is to bring to the forefront and elaborate on some of the foundational premises of military logistics as it is portrayed in its body of literature. To guide this presentation, a generic model is presented which relates logistics’ process and structure sides to its generic and mission specific sides. After these generic foundations, two deep dive themes are explored: strategic alignment of resources and logistics management and strategic defense supply chain security management. Recent historic cases illustrate the two themes. The chapter concludes with new ideas on military logistics innovation and draws attention to innovation and performance challenges in the context of military organizations cooperation.
