Abstract
The importance of logistics in actual warfighting cannot be exaggerated as many famous battles have been lost owing to a lack of logistic support. The future wars are going to become increasingly complex demanding logistical ingenuity and organisational skills of a very high order. On the other hand, the future wars are also going to emphasise the need for joint operations with increased tempo, non‐linearity in the battlefront and reduced timings for decision‐cycle. It is also being said that the Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) is being accompanied by the Revolution in Business Affairs (RBA), using the tools of information technology (IT). Similarly, IT is also being used to usher in a Revolution in Military Logistics (RML). This RML enjoins upon the three services to evolve a common and integrated approach towards logistic concepts and doctrines. The article takes a look at the existing system, its weaknesses and how they can.be rectified.
