The complexities of logistics in the military service are often glossed over in movies. The seemingly endless supply of food, ammunition, and fuel in movies is unrealistic and is often extremely challenging during times of combat. The difficulty of transporting logistics is not properly shown in movies. The reality is often grim and takes a psychological toll on the personnel. John Wick, Band Of Brothers, and 1917 are good examples where ammunition awareness and reloading of shots have been accurately portrayed.
