Book Review
In "From Bunker Hill to Baghdad," Earl F. Ziemke presents a comprehensive history of American military logistics, from the Revolutionary War to the modern era.
Ziemke begins by examining the challenges faced by the Continental Army during the Revolution. The army was poorly equipped and supplied, and its soldiers often lacked food, clothing, and ammunition. Despite these challenges, the Americans were able to achieve victory thanks to the efforts of their logistical support system.
In the years following the Revolution, the United States military continued to face logistical challenges. The War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, and the Civil War all tested the ability of the army to supply its troops. However, through these wars, the United States developed a more efficient and effective logistical system.
In the 20th century, the United States military played a major role in two world wars and the Cold War. These conflicts required the United States to develop a global logistical network. The US military used a variety of transportation systems, including ships, airplanes, and trucks, to move troops and supplies around the world.
In the 21st century, the United States military continues to face logistical challenges. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have strained the logistical system. However, the US military has been able to adapt to these challenges and continue to support its troops in the field.
