The management of logistics and supply chain operations is of vital importance in the defence sector.

Defence Logistics looks at established theories and their practical utility, providing insights into current thinking for postgraduate and undergraduate students, lecturers, researchers, practitioners and professionals through real-life case studies.

Defence Logistics focuses on key areas of logistics and supply chain management in context, such as sustainability, inventory management, resilience, procurement, information systems and crisis response. This comprehensive and up-to-the-minute collection includes contributions from international academics from a range of universities, academies and defence schools, along with practitioners who are currently working in the field of defence logistics.

Industry Reviews

"This book offers a great academic view of how defence logisticians can get ahead of the game before weapons are deployed, let alone the first shots fired. It pulls together many of the underlying principles in an easily digestible format. I wish I could have had the benefit of this compendium before I deployed to Iraq to help me understand how we should have done it better!" * Group Captain (Rtd) Chris Markey FCMI FCILT, Chariman of the Defence Forum for the CILT, UK, and Deputy Commander Joint Force Logistics Component Operation TELIC I and II 2003, UK *
"There simply aren't enough good books on military logistics, but here is one for both the enthusiast and the more generally interested reader alike. It combines academic rigour with practical knowledge and historical illustration - and all in a format that allows for a dip into a specific subject or a more broadly based review of the entire field. Logistics may not be new, but this book shows why it has never been more relevant to modern thinking on defence." * Major General M D Wood CBE, former Director General of the UK Joint Supply Chain and a current Colonel Commandant of the Royal Logistic Corps in the British Army *
