Abstract
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide insight on high-interest areas of research in defenserelated logistics and supply chain management and opportunities for advancing theory and practice in this
domain.
Design/methodology/approach – A panel of experts provided their insight to several questions
oriented toward examining research opportunities and gaps in defense logistics research at the 2018
Academic Research Symposium of the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals annual conference
on September 30, 2018.
Findings – Three overarching themes emerged from the panel discussion for advancing theory and practice
in defense logistics and supply chain management, which are developing a central repository, creating
publication opportunities and integrating research practice and knowledge with the greater academic
community.
Originality/value – Logistics and supply chain research is critical for advancing knowledge and practice
in the military, as well as industrial settings. The intention in this manuscript is to provide scholars and
practitioners in both settings greater awareness and potential avenues for developing synergies and processes
for advancing logistics and supply chain research.
