The author examines the present day relevance of the Soviet rail system to the logistic support of a major military operation, particularly a NATO-Warsaw Pact conflict. The great bulk of the material is extracted from Soviet sources. The author concludes that all rail transport still constitutes a vital portion of the Soviet military logistics system; and that, in spite of a continuing reliance on rail transport, long-standing deficiencies continue to exist which would hamper the use of the rail net in any future conflict.
