Logistics & Sustainment

Operations do not succeed on tactics alone. They succeed when units are sustained, casualties are managed, and movement remains under control. Logistics is what keeps a mission moving after contact — or failing under its own weight.

This section provides guidance on how SPECTRE leaders and Warfighters manage the unseen parts of a mission: supply, movement, recovery, and continuity.

Why This Matters

In any operation, no matter the size or scope:

• Ammo will run out
• People will go down
• Vehicles will break
• Plans will change
• Timing will slip

The difference between teams that adapt and teams that collapse is often their logistical preparation.

Topics Covered

• Resupply Procedures
  When, where, and how to keep your team supplied and ready.

• CASEVAC and Field Medical
  How to manage injuries, movement of casualties, and stabilize the team.

• Rally Points and Staging
  Using fallback positions, consolidation areas, and safe zones to maintain tempo.

• Convoy Procedures
  How to stage, move, and secure vehicles in transit — including response to threats or breakdowns.

• Vehicle Protocols & Embarkation
  Role assignment, mount/dismount discipline, and keeping vehicular operations under control.

• Logistics Planning for Leaders
  Sustaining operations through foresight, resource management, and planning for endurance — not just the first engagement.

Integration with SOP

This section supports and connects with:

• Mission Planning (especially resupply and CASEVAC planning)
• Leadership (delegating logistics, crisis fallback)
• Movement and Tactics (vehicle coordination, staging discipline)

Final Note

Logistics is not glamorous — but it is mission-critical. In SPECTRE, leaders plan beyond the first contact. They plan to win and continue the fight.

Failure to sustain is failure to lead.
