Strike Force Delta (2005)
“It was located on the southernmost tip of Italy, at the very end of the boot.
There was a small U.S. support base here called LORDS. Pentagon-speak for Long Range Distribution System, it was a logistics center, run by the U.S. Navy but serving all branches of the U.S. military.
There weren’t any supplies here. This place was all about the latest military buzzword: megaflow. The facilities at LORDS did nothing less than keep track of all U.S. combat equipment, from bullets to bombs, used by the ...American military in operations in the Middle East and Southwest Asia. Located inside a plain concrete building not far from a cliff overlooking the Med, the centerpiece of LORDS was its pair of huge Gray supercomputers, machines that could do trillions of calculations a second. At a cool $3 billion each, they had more brainpower than a division of supply clerks.
Still, it was a daunting task to keep tabs on an institution that consumed 1 billion dollars’ worth of supplies every day, day after day.MoreLess
