"We are now in a time where the decision to use military force will be hostage to the need for militaries to be able to access assured industrial capability ..... the magnitude of the sustainment risk now facing military forces is growing."

"The prospect of a truly contested logistics environment where supply chains were threatened, degraded, or disrupted by a highly capable adversary ... remained a theoretical concern for military concept writers, academics, and the occasional commentator"

Provided industry delivered capability platforms on time and budget, other risks tended to be downplayed. In retrospect, these approaches emerged from a period of relative comfort, in which requirements .... could be anticipated and controlled. logisticsinwar.com/2025/08/1…
