I’m officially “we needed the rain” years old.

The third chapter looks at the neglected area of logistics. It quotes @C_M_Dougherty: “Decades of wargaming, analysis and empirical evidence suggest that attacking logistical dependencies…is the most effective way of fighting the United States.” https://t.co/Crv70Cq4I8

"The problem facing the United States is that its forces are spread out across the globe and it takes a long time and enormous logistical effort to get them into the fight and sustain them once there," @C_M_Dougherty writes in a NEW report. Read more:

"If the Defense Department develops data-driven and artificially intelligent logistics systems, it should do so with an eye toward increasing resilience rather than efficiency." Read the NEW report from @C_M_Dougherty here 👇 https://t.co/AJJq7A20Nd

"Prestige and promotions attract talent," @C_M_Dougherty writes in a NEW report, "and more talent is needed if the Pentagon is going to develop an adaptive logistics concept capable of supporting combat operations against China or Russia." Read more:

Interesting way of putting it, @C_M_Dougherty! "Logistics systems tend to be less expensive than combat weapons and, given Chinese and Russian tendencies to target logistics, they can generate more effective combat power per dollar..."

"Logistical assets are generally less expensive than combat assets and, since their contributions to combat effectiveness are multiplicative rather than additive, investments in logistics yield disproportional benefits." Read more from @C_M_Dougherty:
