redc1c4,
who's been on more LOGPAC convoys than you've ever read about.
sorry

your experience handling cargo simply does not count

that is supply, not logistics, no matter what you want to call it

Stevedores handle supply

Vince

and let the military calls it "Logistics".....

for instance:

and

what's really amusing to me (besides your willful obtuseness) is that the
scenario in the first article clearly has an E-8 in charge, but i, as an E-4,
routinely lead these activities for my troop.


Im sorry you can cal a tail a leg but it doesn't make it so
An E-4 does supply, not logistics even in the US military


"Part of the Defense Logistics Agency, Logistics Operations (J-3)
includes Acquisition, Technical, and Supply (J-33), Business Management
and Integration (J-35), Distribution and Reutilization Policy (J-37),
Defense Standardization Program Office (J-307), and Internal Review
Office (J-308). Logistics Operations is responsible for the worldwide
logistics support throughout the Department of Defense.

The primary focus of J-3 is to support the warfighter in time of
war and peace. J-3 supports the procurement, management, storage and,
and distribution of 5.2 million items for U. S. military customers,
other federal agencies, and allied forces. To accomplish this mission,
DLA utilizes the support of Supply Centers, a Distribution Center, and
Service Centers.

Logistics turns money and other resources into fighting power
Supply delivers stuff to the battlefield
Its Been that way since the Greeks


"The word of logistics originates from the ancient Greek logos (?????),
which means “ratio, word, calculation, reason, speech, oration”.

Logistics is an idea considered to have transformed from the military's
need to supply themselves with arms and ammunition and ration as they
moved from their base to a forward position. In ancient Greek, Roman and
Byzantine empires, there were military officers with the title
‘Logistikas’ who were responsible for financial and supply distribution
matters.

The Oxford English dictionary defines logistics as: “The branch of
military science having to do with procuring, maintaining and
transporting material, personnel and facilities.”Another dictionary
definition is: "The time related positioning of resources." As such,
logistics is commonly seen as a branch of engineering which creates
"people systems" rather than "machine systems"...."
