TRL3708ASSIGNMENT 2
SEMESTER 2
2024
, Introduction
The logistics operations of the South African Army are crucial to its ability to fulfill its
defense and peacekeeping duties effectively, both within and beyond the nation's
borders. Efficient Logistics, therefore, aim to increase the probability that the Army has
supplies and equipments in the right place, in the right concentration and at the right

warehousing and distribution systems according to the Fourth Industrial Revolution
(4IR) to counter effectiveness hurdles faced earlier. Last of all, the assignment
identifies the measures for increasing service standards in the Army’s logistics
environment so that South African Army is always capable of deployment and
functionality.

operations. For instance, the Army needs to ensure that it stores adequate supplies to
avoid stock out situations yet at the same time ensure that they do not stock pile many
products since they are likely to go to waste or become obsolete (Burns, 2022). Such
measures that are similar to methods in which the Army could implement include
having centralized storage capacity with fast deployment to serve both ordinary and
emergent needs.
Reliability and Continuity
Reliability in military logistics ensures that the supply chain consistently meets the
needs of the armed forces, even under adverse conditions. In the case of the South
African Army this entails ensuring that supplies and logistic support such as food stuff,
