Fact sheet for Naval History and Heritage Command publication, “CONTESTED LOGISITCS: SUSTAINING THE PACIFIC WAR.” Researched and edited by Peter C. Luebke, Timothy L. Francis, and Heather M. Haley, describes how the United States Navy dealt with World War II in the Pacific. Bereft of practical experience at projecting such a large force at such distance, the Navy had to learn and create logistics as it went. This NHHC publication describes the struggle to supply the Pacific fleet in the early days of World War II, the later successes in creating an integrated logistics system, and how the Navy attempted to institutionalize lessons learned.
