as much so as "combat vs logistics". First time I've ever heard these two things talked about as a matter of "this versus that" and not "combat and logistics".

First time I've ever heard these two things talked about as a matter of "this versus that" and not "combat and logistics".
I'd hate to be a CO or NCO under a General who looked at the two as somehow adversarial or mutually exclusive in terms of planning and resourcing.
Yours is quite an interesting analogy, here.
- Spooky23 4y agoYou’re used to reading about western militaries. Look at the Ukraine War… Russia clearly completely ignored logistics and failed in their attempt at a “modern” war and quickly degraded to a WW1 style artillery duel. And yes, being a NCO or field officer in the Russian army is miserable.

Or haven’t read much about the military and are assuming? Combat vs combat support vs combat service support (logistics) is a very common and very significant distinction to make and usually matters a lot for a great many things. Has a logistics branch officer ever led a major Army? We had an artillery officer in the UK and even that was a talking point at the time.
