Overview
Military logistics is the discipline of planning and carrying out the movement, supply, and maintenance of military forces, encompassing everything from materiel management to medical support. It is a critical enabler of military operations, and its effectiveness can be the difference between victory and defeat. As noted by [[sun-tzu|Sun Tzu]], a renowned military strategist, logistics plays a vital role in the outcome of military campaigns. The [[us-department-of-defense|US Department of Defense]] and the [[north-atlantic-treaty-organization|NATO]] have developed complex logistics systems to support their operations.
