Armour journal or so had a nice article some time ago - something about breaking the tether of fuel. That was a nice start.


By the way, I've got a question since the membership here is multinational:

Q: In which countries is it usual to have a detachment of the field unit at field depots to organise, reserve and prepare supplies for the truck convoys of their field units?

I'm thinking of receiving requests, preparing custom pallets full of spare parts, preparing a map of where the needed supplies are and guiding the truckers to the supplies & assist with loading/unloading?
I have the impression that this is usually not organic to field units, but rather the job of rather neutral, not so motivated supply clerks of the field depot units.

Another question:

Q: How 'normal' are convoy security units internationally?

As I understand some countries assign scouts, AT Plts and others in makeshift solutions for convoy security.

That may work half-satisfactorily in COIN, but what's about great, mobile wars?
