CHAPTER 4DETERMINATIONOFLOGISTICREQUIREMENTS
ANDLOGISTICPLANNING
“In modern warare no success is possible unless military units
are adequately supplied with uel, ammunition and ood
and their weapons and equipment are maintained.
Modern battle is characterized by resolute and dynamic actions
and by abrupt changes in the situation which call or greater quantity
o supplies than was the case during the Second World War.
Hence the increasingly important role o logistic continuity aimed
at supplying each soldier in good time with everything he needs
or ulflling his combat mission.”
- Colonel General Golushko, Chie o Logistic Sta,
Soviet Armed Forces, 1984 -

15) Regarding preliminary inspection and control (“certication”), French ormations retained as part o the
NRF or High Readiness Forces are submitted to the normal process o certication. Specic “technical
agreements” are normally established between ACO and CHOD FR on the hand-over conditions o these
units to NATO. Broader authority is not accepted unless special arrangements are in-place.16) With respect to logistic or resources reporting, FR will report on the situation o units within the
multinational chain o command or perorming multinational general support (e.g. LLN/LRSN). NSEs will
not provide reports unless specic arrangements have been established.

CHAPTER 7MULTINATIONALLOGISTICS
“The more I see o war, the more I realize how it all depends
on administration and transportation. It takes little skill or imagination
to see where you would like your army to be and when;
it takes much more knowledge and hard work to know where you can place
your orces and whether you can maintain them there.”
- General Sir A. C. P. Wavell, 1977 -

CHAPTER 11MEDICALSUPPORT
“To the average military ofcer, the military surgeon is an unwillingly tolerated
non combatant who clutters up the battlefeld, causes transportation difculties,
gives cathartic pills, and makes the water taste bad...[but]...
Generals have rarely won wars.... They more oten gain credit
or mopping up ater the barrages o epidemics have taken their toll.”
- Hans Zinsser, 1935 -
