Forget the FOBs: Army logistics must adapt for the modern battlefield
By: Todd South  

Just as the Army shifts its priorities to fighting in more domains than ever before and training for major combat operations against capable rivals, so too must its logistics harden, speed up and adapt to a challenging warfighting landscape.

Lt. Gen. Aundre Piggee, the Army G-4, told an audience at the Association of the U.S. Army that the logistics side of the Army must take advantage of current and emerging technologies to deliver the right supplies to the soldier at the right time so they can be combat effective.

One way in which that will hit the formations is a goal to more than double the standalone sufficiency of individual brigade combat teams by making them self-sustaining for a week, versus the current three-day average time that the BCTs can burn through vital fuel and other essentials.
