Force Sustainment

Force sustainment is the process of ensuring that a military unit or organization has the necessary resources—such as personnel, equipment, supplies, and logistics—to continue operations over time. It involves planning, acquiring, and distributing these resources to maintain operational effectiveness and readiness. Essentially, it keeps a force equipped and supplied, preventing shortages that could hinder its ability to achieve mission objectives. This ongoing support is critical for sustained military campaigns, ensuring the force can operate effectively without interruption due to lack of essential resources.
