Eager Ukrainian soldiers are getting their guns and ammo faster than ever, thanks to the work of the U.S. government’s top bulk shipper: the U.S. military.

The Europe-based unit in charge of shipping weapons to Ukraine has sped up deliveries by 30 percent compared to the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion last year, said a spokesperson for the U.S. Army’s 21st Theater Sustainment Command.

“We have definitely learned how to be more efficient with our transportation,” the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson attributed the improvements to increasing experience, after-action reports, and an improved ability to forecast operations.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Is there any proof other than the Pentagon's infallible word?  I ask this as we have been reading about how fatigued the military is from almost continuous wars for over two decades.  If so, the skills necessary for moving arms should be well developed and shouldn't leave room for a 30% increase in efficiency and fatigue argues such a drastic jump :shrug:.
