“…The Persian Gulf War (1990‐1991), NATO operations in Bosnia (1994‐1995), the War in Afghanistan (2001 to present), and the Iraq War (2003‐2011) have all demonstrated the effectiveness of not only superior weapons, but also superior logistics capability in achieving decisive combat victory. Yet, despite advances in military technology and logistics support, recent conflicts have continued to demonstrate the challenges that remain in terms of asset visibility, coordination between multi‐national forces, the management of time‐phased force deployment plans, and command and control (Fontaine, 1997; Peltz et al , 2005; GAO, 2011a). For example, in their report on military operations in Iraq in 2003, the UK House of Commons Public Accounts Committee (PAC, 2004) noted that:[…] [a]s a result of a combination of shortages of initial stockholdings and serious weaknesses in logistic systems, troops at the frontline did not receive sufficient supplies in a range of important equipments […].…”

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to provide an introduction to the defence logistics special issue and to provide an overview of the contribution to defence logistics research of each of the papers contained therein. A review of the field of defence logistics is offered, together with a discussion of the historical and contemporary issues that have confronted researchers and practitioners. Current research is described, and a research agenda is proposed. Design/methodology/approach-The editorial provides a conceptual discussion of defence logistics as it has been studied in the past and is being studied in the present, and a reflection on the ways in which past research can usefully inform future research agendas. Findings-In light of the current state of defence logistics research and the anticipated characteristics of future combat operations, the paper highlights areas where academic research has the potential to make a significant contribution in the development and choice of alternative approaches in the provision of defence logistics Research limitations/implications-A future research agenda is proposed that is informed by recent transformations in the conduct of warfare, as well as through anticipated changes in the global strategic landscape. Comparisons are made between defence logistics operations and their commercial counterparts to illustrate where there may be opportunities for adaptation based on the underlying similarities. Originality/value-This paper discusses the major threads and themes of defence logistics research as a discipline, highlights the changing landscape of conflict in the 21 st Century and provides a future research agenda for those working in the field.
