    Do logistics experts get shot at regularly?

    And when they are shot at, are they expected to continue organizing supplies under fire?

    Everyone has a role in an army. Not necessarily in the high stress world of Frontline infantry. But engineers design bridges for tanks to cross, while logistics counts food and bullets.

    The weapons that do this stuff on the front lines are all computers today. M777 artillery automatically calculates based off of GPS and a computer. Distances on shorter weapons are calculated using laser rangefinders.

    There remains a key group of soldiers who need to perform without computers due to low supply lines and extended missions behind enemy lines. But those are Commandos are called Army Rangers or Green Berets and are a very very small group in practice.
