There have been reports of Russian soldiers shooting at civilian vehicles in Ukraine and this may be why,combat operations have repeatedly demonstrated that vehicles should have protection commensurate with their role,which is why An Independent Army For An Independent Nation has trucks such as the Pony,Horse and Elephant which shall be protected against fire from small arms and Rocket Propelled Grenades.

 

Logistics:Land Versus Sea

Some people believe that moving things by ship is expensive.

But this single ship transports 237,766 barrels of fuel.

 To move that same amount would take 2,000 of these trucks,which would cost a lot more than a single ship.

This ship can be operated around the clock by just 24 men.

 To operate 2,000 of these trucks around the clock would take at least 4,000 men who would cost a lot more to employ than the 24 men on the ship.

Consequently moving things by land is far more expensive than moving things by sea.

Which is why "stuff" is moved by sea whenever it is practical to do so.


It is also the reason why logistics costs for a sea based expeditionary force are far lower than those of a land based expeditionary force.
