Importance of LogisticsImportance of Logistics

”…With our expeditionary mindset, we want totake all of our supplies with us, because wedon’t want to have to depend on a very shortperiod of time where you can’t do anything

unless you have logistics. So logistics is animportant part of being expeditionary.

Perhaps that’s the main point.”
