Total copies: 2
¿́¿Kane provides a wide variety of case studies ¿́¿ from World War II to the Cold Wars to show how the side with a more effective logistical system tends to gain the strategic initiative. He argued that this happened when those in charge were aware of the options and limitations available to both their own and the opposing military. The author identifies logistical capabilities as an arbiter of opportunity, playing a critical role in determining which side will hold the strategic initiative in war. Armies which have secured reliable sources of supply have a great advantage in determining the time and manner in which engagements take place, often able to fight in ways their opponents cannot.¿́¿ -- SAF Professional Reading Programme, 4th Edition ¿́¿ STAGE IV: LTC 2 and above.
