Abstract
This article highlights the specific logistics problems which special operations forces have, given their highly specialist nature and the factors that act upon them such as external (political, economic and national culture) and internal influences as well as the changing face of warfare. It will examine the ways in which special operations forces are currently supported logistically and will go on to consider the ways by which commercial 'best-practice' could be used to enhance the mission effectiveness of forces employed in this role.
