Military Logistics Base Engineering

Logistics bases can be categorized according to their support functions into strategic logistics bases and campaign logistics bases.

• Strategic logistics bases focus on providing broad, long-term strategic support.
• Campaign logistics bases primarily sustain operations in specific war zones or major campaign directions, while also undertaking regional support tasks during peacetime.

The deployment of logistics bases is determined by strategic and campaign requirements. Key principles include:

• Alignment with national economic development to ensure sustainable support capacity.
• Access to favorable transportation networks and local resources for efficient organization of support.
• Advantageous terrain conditions to facilitate engineering construction and defensive arrangements.
