Excerpt
Excerpt: Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) is one of the largest logistics supply and support efforts that the U.S. military has ever undertaken. For example, of the $28. billion that the Department of Defense (DOD) has obligated for OIF, the services and the Defense Logistics Agency have reported that $14. billion is for operating support costs and $4.9 billion is for transportation costs. This operation required the movement of large numbers of personnel and equipment over long distances into a hostile environment involving harsh desert conditions.
