(Washington DC) Tanks, rockets, artillery and ammunition are all being fast-tracked to Ukraine by boat, convoy and perhaps even airplanes to Europe, an intense and dangerous task taken on by thousands of Army soldiers with the 21st Theater Sustainment Command, a key part of Army Europe.
The logistics, sustainment and maintenance required for this task are simply massive, and US Army soldiers are moving supplies with the clear, real recognition that equipment lines could be attacked or sabotaged anytime.
"Contested Logistics"
Maj. Gen. James Smith, the Commanding General of the 21 Theater Sustainment Command, said his soldiers are trained to be ready for what he called “contested logistics,” meaning the possibility of an attack, ambush or saboteur intent on targeting weapons shipments.
“We always have to keep the context of contested logistics in mind.. We move with the sense that supply lines could be affected and we take that into consideration,” Smith told reporters.
