The current logistics vision, however, is based in mobilization rather than mobility. Mobilization focuses on industrial production to provide weapon systems and is long-term oriented; mobility focuses on the process of moving war material to a theater of operations for combat and is short-term oriented. This paper examines historical examples in two categories: acquisition of airpower assets and adoption of civilian management techniques. These examples illustrate how Air Force logistics developed a bias towards mobilization over three distinct phases and was influenced in its methods and practices by the evolving military-industrial complex.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brad Lafferty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1249830028\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781249830023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Biblioscholar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.69h x 7.44w x 0.15d","brand":"Brad Lafferty","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48449379991807,"sku":"9781249830023","price":57.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_49cd38ad-3741-4001-8d2d-ff2d1e5037e1.jpg?v=1777263125","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/air-force-logistics-brad-lafferty-9781249830023","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
