Outfitting an Army
Texto
Preparation is the key to a successful military deployment. Failure to prepare, even in small respects, can lead to an army’s defeat and even destruction. Preparation falls under two broad categories. First, troops must be equipped with the items most directly necessary for combat, ranging from weapons and armor to the communication equipment leaders need to exercise effective command and control. Second, armies require the logistical necessities that allow troops to remain on the march and in the field—such as food, water, maintenance supplies for weapons and armor, and medical supplies for dealing with injuries.
