FOREWORD
The NATO Logistics Handbook is published under the auspices of the Logistics Committee (LC) and aims to pull in logisticians at every level to some of NATOs radical principles, policies, concepts and the organisations which they lead encounter in the course of their work. NATO and the security surroundings in which it operates are continu bothy changing. An obvious indicator of novelty in NATO logistics since the 2007 magnetic variation of the Handbook, is the change of name of the Senior NATO Logisticians convention (SNLC) to LC. We have a new NATO Strategic Concept which has point the updating of the logistics vision, strategic goals and objectives. Furthermore, NATO logistics continues its migration to collective logistics. It is incumbent on all logisticians to get a line that the logistic support concepts that are required to ensure the deployability and sustainability of NATO forces change to meet political and other guidance and, closely importantly, operational needs. The current principles, policies and concepts have been reflected in this edition of the Handbook, only its continuing usefulness will depend on the current process of keeping it updated and readers should ensure that they use the latest version of the references quoted herein.



This Handbook is not a formally agreed document, and should not be quoted as a reference. It does not necessarily present the official opinion or position of NATO, the nations, Commands or agencies on all the policy issues discussed, nor does it attempt to examine current issues or provide answers to the problems that logisticians will face in the field - these will change over time and circumstance. If any readers have suggestions for improvements or amendments to the Handbook, they are asked to forward them to the LC Secretariat.
