What is military logistics?

A military is an organization authorized by its greater society to use lethal force, usually including use of weapons, in defending its country by combating actual or perceived threats. On the other hand, logistics is the management of the flow of resources, between the point of origin and the point of destination in order to meet some requirements, i.e. of customers or corporations. When these words are combined--military logistics--it is the discipline of planning and carrying out the movement and maintenance of military forces.

In its most comprehensive sense, it is those aspects or military operations that deal with: design, development acquisition (the bureaucratic management and procurement process dealing with a nations investments in the technologies, programs, and product support necessary to achieve its national security strategy and support its armed forces), storage, distribution, maintenance, evacuation, and disposition of material, a term used in English to refer to the equipment and supplies in military and commercial supply chain management; transport of personnel; acquisition or construction, maintenance, operation, and disposition of facilities; acquisition or furnishing of services; and, medical and health service support.
