<br/><br/> The seventeenth century to the present day.  To show how the logistic thinking and services have developed over the past 150 years and to indicate how easily the best forces slip into the false belief that they are prepared to the last gaiter button.  History shows how often the most elegant plans have collapsed due to the failure of logistic services allied to inadequate communication to hold a force together.
