Our opponents have not been able to stand against conventional forces in battle and instead have resorted largely to guerrilla tactics, engaging our forces with IEDs, snipers and ambushes. Into this mix of behind-the-lines attacks, combat logistics have played a larger role than ever. In Afghanistan particularly, the long convoy routs have been vulnerable to the same kind of surprise attacks suffered by the Soviets in past decades, the British 150 years ago, and Alexander the Great 2000 years ago. In that barren landlocked country, the means to supply a Western army has to be undertaken with blood and sweat, once the panacea of main-force or air power is overtaken. -from the publisher. 541 $d 20140707. 650 $a War $z United States $x History $v Fiction. 650 $a War $x History $y 20th century. 650 $a War. 651 $a Afghanistan $x Politics and government $y 2001- 651 $a Afghanistan $x History, Military $y 21st century. 651 $a Afghanistan $x History, Military. 651 $a Afghanistan $x History $y 2001- 651 $a Afghanistan $x History $y 1989-2001. 651 $a Afghanistan. 941 $a 1 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20150409063428.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=430A0E8CDE8011E49B1BDBA0DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
