| Abstract: |
Military supply chain logistics (MSCL) managers have pioneered innovation and thought in supply chain management (SCM). Given the ongoing conflicts and escalating international tensions of our world today, understanding the unique attributes and capabilities that shape MSCL management is imperative for navigating the broader international trade landscape. MSCL managers develop and employ unique capabilities that allow them to dynamically balance efficiency, responsiveness, and agile deployment while handling sudden surges during conflict-driven disruptions. This literature review and synthesis offer insights into the evolution of MSCL and highlight its exceptional relevance to navigating the current global trade environment by integrating the findings with relevant business theories. The synthesis of MSCL's distinctive capabilities not only clarifies its importance in military operations but also provides valuable insights for business logistics and other sectors within broader SCM environments. |
