o, we aren’t talking about punishment. We are talking
about really believing in and practicing fundamental supply
procedures.
If your unit wants rations, ammo, fuel, water—any
of a number of things it needs to complete its operational
mission—it must practice supply discipline.
It’s human nature to pay attention to the operational side
of a unit–after all that’s where the action is, that’s where
missions are completed. That’s where the outward signs of
success occur. But operational success will not be continuous
if supplies don’t keep pace with operations.
One command sergeant major put it this way: “.
..failure
can be attributed to one of three causes: lack of training, lack
of resources, or lack of motivation.”
He also said that when training, resources and motivation
are properly combined they can produce delicious success.
Remember that the condition of your equipment and the
state of your supply discipline depend on your attention.
Can you stake the life of your unit, and the life of your
buddy’s unit, right now, on your supply discipline?

Supply Requires Discipline
Commanders and
leaders
at all
levels
must
not give in to the
tendency to push
supply and mainte-
nance matters to
the side.
Without command
emphasis, supply
and maintenance
wither from lack
of resources and
motivation.
keeping a unit
supplied requires
more
than dreams
or intentions…
…it also
requires the
attention of
everyone, not
just the supply
sergeant!
how
do I
keep these
supplies
stocked?
