You never know what you're going to find when you do an internet search. And I don't even remember what I was originally looking for. But what I found is a pdf doc called Transformational Logistics within the Infantry BCT.
It's a bit long (and it's about logistics) but it points out the historic problem with supplying the Army, particularly in the "last 1,000 meters" as the author likes to say. It also touches on the shell game of pooling assets that create theoretical efficiency at a cost to effectiveness. Mostly it talks about the problems specifically with the logistics of the current (Light) Infantry Brigade Combat Teams regarding the lack of transportation assets, insufficient labor force and lack of material handling equipment to properly support these units when deployed.
I thought it was interesting. But there is no accounting for taste.
