I think six broad functional areas of logistics are ... 1.Supply systems acquire, manage, receive, store, and issue the material required by the operating forces to equip and sustain the force from deployment through combat operations and their redeployment. 2. Maintenance includes actions taken to keep materiel in a serviceable condition, to return it to service, or to update and upgrade its capability. 3. Transportation is the movement of units, personnel, equipment, and supplies from the point of origin to the final destination. 4.General engineering provides the construction, damage repair, and operation and maintenance of facilities or logistic enhancements required by the combatant commander to provide shelter, warehousing, hospitals, water and sewage treatment, and water and fuel storage distribution in order to enhance the provision of sustainment and services. 5. Health services include evacuation, hospitalization, medical logistics, medical laboratory services, blood management, vector control, preventive medicine services, veterinary services, dental services, and the required command, control, and communications. 6. Nonmaterial support activities and consist of various functions and tasks provided by Service troops and the logistic community that are essential to the technical management and support of a force (i.e., aerial delivery, laundry, clothing exchange and bath, and graves registration.)
