Book excerpt: The deployment of United States forces to an unimproved theater in the Middle East for Operation Desert Storm was the most extensive endeavor our country has under-taken in many years. The demands placed on the logistics system were enormous, they came from massive usage rates, long lines of communication from the United States to the battlefield, and an incredible requirement for all types of transportation. Operation Desert Storm tested two primary strategic capabilities: projection of power, which involves rapid strategic movement of forces and materiel to the battlefield, and sustainment of the military forces, which provides the projected force with the means to fight. One of the greatest concerns was ammunition sustainability. Five battalion commanders participating in Desert Storm were interviewed about ammunition support during Operation Desert Storm. Analysis of Operation Desert Storm, including these commanders' perceptions of ammunition support experienced during the operation, provides insight for support in future battles. The success of Operation Desert Storm relied heavily on allied support, but the actual use of force depended on the United States' capability to project power and sustain that power on the battlefield. The ability to produce, transport, and maintain a continuous flow of ammunition proved instrumental to providing that capability and will continue to be a vital ingredient during future conflicts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Roots of Military Science: Understanding the Intersection of Conflict, Mental Health, and Wellness is about the psychology of conflict, the scars conflict leaves behind, and the generational healing that must follow. It is a plea for empathy, a call to learn from the past, and an optimistic blueprint for a future where the pen is mightier than the sword. The core of this narrative is formed by author Dr. Christina Rahm’s journey through healthcare and environmental stewardship amid the chaos of war and her search for peace. For Christina, the battlefield is both an external reality and an internal contemplation; it is the ground she walks on in countries torn by conflict and the ethical landscape she navigates as a scientist committed to the preservation of life. Within the pages of The Roots of Military Science lie a reflection, a confluence of critical thought, and a rigorous exploration of military science through the lens of clinical research. Readers will learn how warfare is used as a calculated tool for political force and provocation for economic gain. Complete with scientific research on the principles behind military strategy, tactical defense, attacks, planning, and coordination, The Roots of Military Science provides poignant insight into the psychological, philosophical, and scientific aspects of war which inevitably produces negative biological outcomes. Readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of the intersection of conflict, mental health, wellnesses, and impairment behind theories of military science.

This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mission of the United States Army is to fight and win our nation's wars by providing prompt, sustained land dominance across the full range of military operations and spectrum of conflict in support of combatant commanders. Accomplishing this mission rests on the ability of the Army to equip and move its forces to the battle and sustain them while they are engaged. Logistics provides the backbone for Army combat operations. Without fuel, ammunition, rations, and other supplies, the Army would grind to a halt. The U.S. military must be prepared to fight anywhere on the globe and, in an era of coalition warfare, to logistically support its allies. While aircraft can move large amounts of supplies, the vast majority must be carried on ocean going vessels and unloaded at ports that may be at a great distance from the battlefield. As the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have shown, the costs of convoying vast quantities of supplies is tallied not only in economic terms but also in terms of lives lost in the movement of the materiel. As the ability of potential enemies to interdict movement to the battlefield and interdict movements in the battlespace increases, the challenge of logistics grows even larger. No matter how the nature of battle develops, logistics will remain a key factor. Force Multiplying Technologies for Logistics Support to Military Operations explores Army logistics in a global, complex environment that includes the increasing use of antiaccess and area-denial tactics and technologies by potential adversaries. This report describes new technologies and systems that would reduce the demand for logistics and meet the demand at the point of need, make maintenance more efficient, improve inter- and intratheater mobility, and improve near-real-time, in-transit visibility. Force Multiplying Technologies also explores options for the Army to operate with the other services and improve its support of Special Operations Forces. This report provides a logistics-centric research and development investment strategy and illustrative examples of how improved logistics could look in the future.
