Default Re: Question re: Supplies

There are three supplies which are basic to a mechanized force;
1.Ammo
2.Fuel
3.Food (includes H2O)
These are listed in order of priority.
Ammo and fuel are difficult to predict without knowing the units assigned tasks or mission, but food is reliably the same. A Canadian forces mech infantry bn carries a supply of rations to last 4-7 days. Every vehicle should have a full battle load of ammo and fuel and QM stores should have another full battle load for every vehicle. This can be used up very quickly in a high intensity battle. Redistribution of ammo after or during a battle is possible because a battalion sized force should not all be engaged at the same time, If so something has gone wrong. A mech battalion forced to fight a full engagment, high intensity battle before being cut of from resupply is in a very precarious position indeed. Worst of all, the most important munitions are used up the quickest. Tank rounds, ATGMs and auto cannon ammo are also most difficult to resupply. A mech formation is quickly made ineffective when cut off from is supply lines. This is one of its vulnerabilites.
