    When I was younger, I never appreciated the role of supplies in wargames; I simply wanted to focus on tactics and fighting. Now, I have a much deeper appreciation of the strategic importance of supply lines and access to resources. Happy birthday NSC.

    I just saw this on today's event:

    It contains an article published in the December 1927 issue of Proceedings magazine entitled “A New Job for the Supply Corps”.
