Transforming logistics from exploitable vulnerability to lethal competitive advantage
Gunny Ellis jerked awake. It was 0348, and her wrist comms were buzzing. It was a priority message from higher headquarters that bypassed her do-not-disturb setting. "Seriously?" She murmured, as she clawed her way to the surface. OpTempo was high, and her team worked late into the night all week. Today was supposed to be a recovery day. She quickly flicked her left wrist over to activate the projection screen function on her wrist comms to see what the issue was.

However, with their heavier than anticipated OpTempo, combined with the nature of this upcoming mission, they were going to be short infrared chem lights, batteries, energy cells, and some other critical items. They also could...
