About

TO ARMY LOGISTICS 1-6. General a. To quote from Dr. James A. Huston, The Sinews of War: Army Logistics 1775–953: "Logistics is the application of time and space factors to war. It is the economics of warfare, and it comprises, in the broadest sense, the three big M's of warfare-materiel, movement, and maintenance. If international politics is the 'art of the possible,' and war is its instrument, logistics is the art of defining and extending the possible. It provides the substance that physically permits an army to live and move and have its being." b. Viewed in its broadest context, logistics is the art and science of creating and maintaining a military capability. Its purpose is to create weapons and forces and provide sustained support of these weapons and forces in combat.
