- Toelichting
- Logistics is essential in the planning and operating of military strategic planning. This is an example of a definition: "Logistics—the transfer of personnel and materiel from one location to another, as well as the maintenance of that material—is essential for a military to be able to support an ongoing deployment or respond effectively to emergent threats. The use of English is very important in the understanding and application. The Netherlands are member of NATO, which makes it inevitable to communicate in the English language just to get things done. This project intends to improve your professional use of English so you will be able to understand and use it.
