Logistics: National Support Element - Latvia (S6 E8)

About this episode

Lieutenant-Colonel Nathan Richards discusses the logistics operations supporting the Canadian-led Multinational Brigade in Latvia.

They say amateurs talk about tactics, but professionals study logistics. Making sure front line soldiers have everything they need, from ammunition to vehicles and everything in between, means that the fighters can focus on operations. Lieutenant-Colonel Nathan Richards is the Commanding Officer of the National Support Element in Latvia. He explains how his team runs the logistics hub in support of the Canadian-led Multinational Brigade.
