I am a fan of history and if you dabble in military history for long enough you may come across a quote attributed to General Omar Bradley: “Amateurs talk strategy, professionals talk logistics”. And indeed, Napoleon’s failed invasion of Russia just like the failed Nazi invasion of the same country can be attributed to a lack of logistical planning. With the Russians following a burnt earth strategy, simply withdrawing from the invasion forces, and leaving behind a wasteland without food or proper transport armies could simply not be supported in their advance. Who knows how World War II would have ended, had Hitler followed the advice of his generals in late 1941 to dig in and replenish his troops with fuel, food, weapons, and ammunition instead of pushing for Moscow when that city was a mere 100 miles away?
First time I hear the term logistics for asset management. Very interesting! Please can you share a couple of examples about what tasks are related to logistics which support a given SAA? I need some help understanding better the subject.
Best insight in a while, though all your thoughts are welcome !
