 The Foundation of Operational LogisticsMoshe Kress
Chapter Chapter 3 in Operational Logistics, 2016, pp 33-59 from Springer Abstract: Abstract The term Operational Level of War or in short – Operational Level has emerged in the West in the 1982 revision of the US Army Field-Manual FM 100-5. This term was redefined in the 1986 version of that manual and since then it has been under continuous examination and review, and a source for debate amongst commanders and military scholars – in particular in conjunction with the related term: Operational Art [1]. The 1997 edition of that manual [2] introduced a new term – Operational Level of Conflict – and the 2012 edition [3] (now called ADRP 3-0) defines yet another term: Unified Land Operations as activities aimed at “seize, retain, and exploit the initiative to gain and maintain a position of relative advantage in sustained land operations through simultaneous offensive, defensive, and stability operations.” The logistics that supports and sustains these operations is called operational logistics (OpLog).
