For sure, we are totally dependent upon the logistics tail for support and in fact its how and why we win. I had a failure of a component and it was mfg by Texas Inst, I placed a priority 1 critical order and had it in my hands within 24 hrs from the US.Actually my first active duty assignment was at a SAC base in Fla. In late '69 the bomb squadron and tankers deployed for Vietnam, so my job was to help medical support for the remaining active troops, but mostly wives and children left behind and retirees. It takes a lot of support for those on the front, and most appreciated someone left behind taking care of their families.
