Tactical NATO military logistics in major warfighting
Channel: War Studies KCL
Date: 27/10/2022

Throughout history, military logistics has been one of the most important enablers of success in combat operations. The current Russo-Ukrainian war is no exception, and amongst the major contributors to Russia's failure in the initial phases of its invasion of Ukraine has been the failure of its own logistic system to sustain the offensive. As NATO analysts continue to derive 'lessons learnt' that will enable a future defence of Europe against further Russian aggression, the question of what makes NATO logistic forces more resilient to be able to survive such intense major conflict has become even more urgent.

In this New Voices in Global Security Seminar, Dr Ronald Ti will present examples from the current Russo-Ukrainian war to show how the resilience of NATO military logistic systems has been degraded due to trends in modern warfare, particularly as practised by the armed forces of the Russian Federation.
