Modern military tactics

When you go into a War, sorry, a peace keeping operation, where you have planned (yes we all know what is said about plans) to drive straight to the destination, dismount the vehicles, be greeted with flowers, beer and sandwiches by the happy liberated population and then check into pre-arranged accomodation with food, beverages and cosy beds.
In such a planning scenario There Will Be No Need for a lot of logistics planning.

The old Soviet logistics tactic was to run a unit straight ahead until their supplies are exhausted,
let them hold ground and channel the follow up units through the first wave. When the front has moved forward you resupply/rebuild the expended/exhausted unit.
Getting stalled on a road wasn’t part of the plan.
If someone had even suggested that planning for delays should be a part of the plan he might have been accused of defaitism (fancy word for being a miserable coward)
