This white paper advocates for a strategic overhaul of military logistics to address the vulnerabilities of modern land warfare. It argues that traditional, static supply structures and total organic control have become dangerous liabilities in an era of hyper-lethal drone technology and constant surveillance. To mitigate these risks, the author proposes an "ACSA-First" framework that prioritizes regional partnerships and host-nation infrastructure over bloated American contracting models. By utilizing Acquisition and Cross-Servicing Agreements, the military can transition to a "Factory to Field" system, allowing combat forces to remain mobile and modular while local allies manage terrain and support. This shift aims to reduce the physical signature of US forces and enhance operational speed through a specialized, circular economy of logistics. Ultimately, the document recommends testing these concepts via a modular command structure to ensure survival through constant motion rather than static occupation.
