Once the logistics train was complete to battalion level, did they just assume the ammo or supplies would get to each platoon as needed?
Given that since men having been running out of ammo in firefights at the most inopportune moments since gunpowder made its appearance, (and probably archers and other missileers before them), you would have thought they would have realized that ammo expenditure is always going to be higher than predicted, and logistics planning must adjust accordingly. . .
