Maybe his work would have resulted in a more comprehensive and accurate paper if he had broken down the thesis into describing the logistics of the various army branches: Signals, Engineering , Medical, Artillery and so on.

I know that during WW2 in Australia, much research was done in an attempt to counter the tropical climate in the SWPA in regard to equipment denigration. Such as, canvas items rotting and moisture intrusion in communications equipment . Malaria control was another big one. These problems were all a part of the logistics issue I would think.
