Summary:

Dr. Turbiville addresses the major components of insurgent logistic support and sustainment today and discusses the enduring value to US special operations personnel of studying the often analogous experience of Soviet World War II partisan and postwar guerrilla support. Turbiville argues that contemporary requirements-such as local and external resources; supply networks, bases and caches; logistic cadre and infrastructure development; transportation; concealment and deception; fabrication of mines and explosive devices; support for phased guerrilla movement growth, and others-were reflected throughout the World War II partisan warfare and in the postwar period were organized, synthesized, and incorporated into security and military training courses and concepts for application in Third World insurgent support. Turbiville illustrates his argument with contemporary and historical examples, and-noting that Russian special operations forces study the synthesized experience in seeking approaches for Chechen and other insurgencies-judges that the extensive and increasingly accessible material associated with this "classic" guerrilla warfare experience has utility for US specialists as well.
