Great content for highlights of significant planning factors for military logistics; applicable to all services. The summaries of CL I, III, and V were insightful and helpful, providing thought-provoking questions for future logistics planning.

However, I am giving this guide four due to the plethora of grammar, punctuation and spelling errors in the book—so many to the point it was distracting. Especially when Lts are expected to provide excellent, error-free products, how does a Maj write a book with so many errors?

Awesome Barney style breakdown of logistics. Practical exercises and references with step by step instructions. Grunts that leave the water running should have to memorize this shit.
