Summary:

"Logistics operations depend on accurate information. Even relatively small errors in support systems can, in some circumstances, have large effects on operations. But errors are inevitable, so logistics operations should be robust to errors, whether they are a random occurrence or the result of a deliberate, targeted cyber attack. The U.S. Air Force asked RAND Project AIR FORCE to determine where it is most fruitful to focus effort in making changes to tactics, techniques, and procedures to improve an airman's ability to detect, evaluate, and mitigate significant corruption of logistics data. The goal is to respond to errors in data before they have a significant negative effect on combat operations."--Publisher's description.
