Two cracking books on the subject, if you're interested: "Supplying War"
by Martin van Creveld, and "Lifeblood of War" by Julian Thompson.

IMO the best book for learning about 'real world' military logistics
is the chapter on the subject in the book: 'How To Make War' by James
Dunnigan.

It's okay as an introduction, but it's a summary with some rules of
thumb: good as a start, but I've had it quoted at me as if it were
Gospel.
