The LOGSTAT: Base Cluster Execution in an ABCT

Jul 23, 2026 54 min

Episode #62: Base clusters are a developing concept that every unit is testing out to see which organizational style works the most efficient for them. The driving force is that base clusters increase our mobility, are lighter, and maximize our survivability through dispersion compared to the base formations of the past. A large focus for this concept has been on light formations, but armored brigade combat teams (ABCT) are testing them out now as well. Thus, on this episode CPT Garett Pyle meets with MAJ Bobby Leeman, 2ABCT 3ID SPO, to discuss distributed logistics in the ABCT fight, C2 across base clusters, and how to plan sustainment efficiently in the ABCT.

The LOGSTAT: Go for Green - Optimizing Nutrition

Jun 18, 2026 52 min

Episode #57: Healthy nutrition is the foundation for a Soldier to reach their peak performance. What we put into our bodies will determine the output we are able to achieve. Thus, over the years the Army has sought to provide the force with the most nutritious meals while ensuring Soldiers can choose the meals that taste the best to them. To achieve this, the Go for Green initiative provides a color-coding system for Soldiers to decide which foods to consume in the dining facilities. On this episode, CPT Garett Pyle meets with MAJ Christin Jessen and Denise Laursen to provide a better understanding to how Soldiers should fuel their bodies and the importance of nutrition. Additional Resources: o Go for Green (G4G) – is a joint service performance-nutrition initiative that improves the food environment where Service Members live and work.

The LOGSTAT: TiC in Action - An ABCT BSB Perspective

Jun 4, 2026 54 min

Episode #55: Transformation in Contact (TiC) has revolutionized the modern battlefield as units have integrated a wild variety of new technology into their formations. As we move from TiC 1.0 to TiC 2.0, we continue to see an assortment of structural changes to units and how they adapt to the modern battlefield. This opportunity to experiment and innovate is increasing our lethality at a record rate with each unit providing its own lessons learned to share with the community. Thus, on this episode, CPT Garett Pyle meets with MAJ Patrick Smith, the 703d Brigade Support Battalion (BSB) executive officer, to discuss how an armored brigade combat team (ABCT) BSB has integrated lessons learned from other TiC units and applied them to ABCT sustainment operations.

The LOGSTAT: Contesting, Contested Logistics

May 28, 2026 1 hr 6 min

Episode #54: “Contested Logistics” is a recent buzz word that has been thrown around with the definition being contested over the years. FM 4-0, Sustainment Operations published in March 2026, included an entire section on the concept; it outlines what “contested logistics” is and how it impacts operations. However, even before this updated FM was published, leaders across the Army were discussing this and working to truly define the term. One such leader was LTC Jon Michael King, who wrote an article on contested logistics back in February 2024. Thus, to deep dive into contested logistics, CPT Garett Pyle sits down with LTC King as they analyze contested logistics through a variety of different lenses. Through their conversation, we see why professional dialogue is vital to increase our understanding of different concepts and our lethality as warfighters.

The LOGSTAT: Survivability through Dispersion – A New Approach to Aviation

May 21, 2026 45 min

Episode #53: Maximizing our survivability through dispersion with the use of base clusters provides multiple benefits to the force. It increases our mobility, facilitates greater concealment, helps mitigate indirect fire, and may enable greater flexibility to position assets forward to extend operational reach. This concept is not restricted to solely sustainment units as they can be applied to a wide range of units such as aviation which is looking to restructure their footprint based on the sustainment model. On this episode, CPT Garett Pyle meets with LTC Nicklaus Franck, Senior Aviation Trainer and CPT Michael Leinen, OC/T at JMRC, to discuss how aviation is looking to adopt the sustainment approach to base clusters that is found in the updated ATP 4-90, Brigade Support Battalion, published in January 2026. The conversation also provides an overview of the integration of Aviation and Sustainment operations.

The LOGSTAT: Surviving a Unit Deactivation

May 14, 2026 1 hr 8 min

Episode #52: Turning in property can be a nightmare with just a few pieces alone. Now add the complexities of a unit deactivating and the entire process can seem overwhelming. However, it doesn’t have to be. The Army has programs to make the turn-in process efficient. If your unit is tasked with a deactivation, you can not only survive but thrive. On this episode, CPT Garett Pyle meets with a unit that has accomplished just that. CPT Doug Smith serves as the S-4 OIC and SSG Andrew Arrison serves as the S-4 NCOIC of the 3rd Psychological Operations Battalion (Airborne). They discuss how they survived their unit deactivation and provide guidance on how other units can be successful in any type of equipment turn-in. Additionally, they provide some great insight into sustainment operations for Special Operations.

The LOGSTAT: ParaLine - Streamlined Property Accountability

Apr 16, 2026 48 min

Episode #48: Our first VIDEO podcast! Check out the links below. Property accountability can give anyone nightmares. The time it takes to conduct an inventory seems to be never-ending. Thus, we have continuously told ourselves, “there must be another way?” Well, gone are the days of the physical property book; Soldiers can now leverage mobile capabilities to track the condition and quantity of their equipment at a moment’s notice. And that is just one aspect of the new property accountability system called ParaLine that units will see arrive here in 2026. Therefore, to continue the HQDA G-4 miniseries, CPT Garett Pyle meets with COL Seamus Wilson, the Deputy Director of G44 Materiel Management Directorate on the HQDA G4 staff, to introduce ParaLine to the force, which will modernize property accountability across all Army components by enabling faster inventory processing, increased accuracy, minimized readability errors, updating in real time, and enable more time for training.
