This report describes new technologies and systems that would reduce the demand for logistics and meet the demand at the point of need, make maintenance more efficient, improve inter- and intratheater mobility, and improve near-real-time, in-transit visibility. Force Multiplying Technologies also explores options for the Army to operate with the other services and improve its support of Special Operations Forces. This report provides a logistics-centric research and development investment strategy and illustrative examples of how improved logistics could look in the future."--Publisher description. 651 0 $a United States $x Military policy. 650 0 $a Military planning $z United States. 650 0 $a Security, International. 650 0 $a Military weapons. 650 0 $a Military research $z United States. 710 2 $a National Research Council (U.S.). $b Board on Army Science and Technology, $e issuing body. 710 2 $a National Research Council (U.S.). $b Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences, $e issuing body. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826105810.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CEE342B66B5611E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
