G
eneral Dwight D. Eisenhower said,
“You will not fnd it diFfcult to prove that
battles, campaigns, and even wars have been won or lost primarily because
oF logistics.”
It’s easy to take logistics for granted
because it doesn’t look or sound
exciting. Big guns and Fghter aircraft
are what carry the “wow” factor.
By contrast, logistics is a silent,
steady stream of parts materializing in
the background—the parts you need
to do good PM.
Logistics
is an
invisible
hand
waving a supply wand, summoning
both fuel to Fll your tank and the tool
to twist off that stuck connector.
Logistics conjures the beans for
your belly and the lube for your
weapon. It takes a special kind of
magic to simultaneously keep bellies
from growling and guns from fouling.

Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of the Army
