Logistical Support for the Heavy-Light Mix

More about the book

Focusing on the logistical challenges of integrating a heavy brigade with a light infantry division, this monograph explores historical precedents to highlight the necessity of such a combined arms approach. It emphasizes the importance of ammunition, fuel, and maintenance as key sustainment functions. By analyzing past successful examples, the work evaluates the current US Army logistical system's capability to support this integration. The findings suggest that, despite marginal physical support, innovative logistical procedures and a commitment to learning from history can enable effective force mix support.
