ABSTRACT
General George S.Patton, War As I Knew It The modern popular television image of the employment of conventional military force may be attack planes dropping smart (by now they are brilliant) bombs, infantry troops jumping from helicopters in complete darkness flown by pilots wearing nightvision goggles, or an aircraft carrier launching its myriad highly specialized aircraft. While these images are certainly the leading edge of modern military forces, the larger part of modern warfare consists of providing logistical support of all types to that leading edge of the military element of national power.
