Army, Navy Test Expeditionary Fast Transport in Black Sea

GeorgiaPhotoCONSTANTA, Romania — There are certain things that some Soldiers and service members may take for granted: equipment provided, a full plate of food, ammunition for their weapons. It might seem like there is a mystical force operating behind the scenes to make these resources magically appear, but it's a result of the organized, detailed planning and execution that is logistics.

Soldiers, Sailors and civilians with the U.S. Transportation Command helped to further advance the efficiency of military logistics by testing a high-speed vessel to transport troops and cargo across the Black Sea, Aug. 24, 2018, the Army website said in an Aug. 29 post.
