the replenishment of supplies is based on requisitions from the supported unit
Good to know
In practice, a combination of push and pull methods is used to support combined/multinational operations and will vary for each phase. Nations and commanders will have to adapt and compromise, creating an efficient supply chain and an effective regeneration loop.
One of two main methods of providing combat service support, the pull concept of support reacts to the notification of a requirement (e.g. operational or maintenance demands, repair and recovery request, casualty evacuation, etc.) from a supported force element or dependency. Applying a ‘just in time’ principle, this method requires situational awareness and reliable communications for the logistic system to be highly responsive. This common practice reduces stockpiling and ‘footprint’ with short distribution bursts when operational situation allows or reaction to the requirement to evacuate equipment and personnel.
For example, demand replenishment is a ‘pull’ method of replenishment where supplies are distributed to units only in response to a specific demand. The quantity issued is based on the quantity demanded, subject to authorised entitlements or approval. In reality, a combination of push and pull methods are utilised and will vary within phases of an operation or activity.
The logistic organisation operates a “pull”-system when the re-supply is based on requisitions from the supported unit. Under specific conditions this system may offer economic advantages, but when contact with the enemy is imminent, a lower risk approach may be needed, due especially to the time constraints.
