This book looks at several troop categories based on primary
function and analyzes the ratio between these categories to develop
a general historical ratio. This ratio is called the Tooth-to-Tail
Ratio. McGrath's study finds that this ratio, among types of
deployed US forces, has steadily declined since World War II, just
as the nature of warfare itself has changed. At the same time, the
percentage of deployed forces devoted to logistics functions and to
base and life support functions have increased, especially with the
advent of the large-scale of use of civilian contractors. This work
provides a unique analysis of the size and composition of military
forces as found in historical patterns. Extensively illustrated
with charts, diagrams, and tables. (Originally published by the
Combat Studies Institute Press)
