About

FM 54-10 CHAPTER 1 THE LOGISTIC MISSION j- The Modern Battlefield In the last thirty years, significant changes have occured in the development and proliferation of highly sophisticated, highly effective, weapon systems. The increased firepower, accuracy, range, and mobility made possible by technological advance- ment has created a battlefield environment characterized by extremely high degrees of weapon system lethality and mobility. In this environment, devastating losses will most likely occur on both sides in a relatively short period of time. As an example, in the Mid-East War of 1973, the level of destructiveness approached that once attributed only to nuclear weapons. Both sides sustained devastating losses, approaching 50 percent in less than two weeks of combat.
