Command and Control

Professionals Talk Logistics


Listen Later

The key principles of logistics might not have changed (Jomini’s principles remain as valid as ever), but we have been lulled into false sense of adequacy about logistics and war. Steve Leonard and Jon Klug delve into how protracted wars make command conversations about logistics and supply different. The honest advice from the G4 might not always be appreciated but husbanding resources for a long-war is something commanders need to hear, and probably don’t get from elsewhere.

Steve and Jon’s new book, ‘Professionals talk Logistics’, is available from Howgate Publishing now.
