Literary notes about Logistics (AI summary)

In literature, particularly in Jomini’s "The Art of War," the term "logistics" is treated as both a practical art and a critical component of military operations. Jomini discusses logistics in various lights—ranging from a subject meriting a few dedicated remarks [1, 2] and being grouped with grand strategy and tactics [3, 4] to being defined as the art of moving armies [5, 6, 7, 8]. In some passages, logistics is noted for its limited scope in earlier military engagements [9] while in others, it is depicted as an indispensable process that brings strategic plans to life, ensuring its effective execution in battle [10, 11, 12]. This multifaceted portrayal underlines logistics not merely as a science of detail [13] but as the practical framework that underpins the operational success of military endeavors.
