Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

The Queen's Own Gurkha Logistic Regiment, formerly The Queen's Own Gurkha Transport Regiment, The Gurkha Transport Regiment and The Gurkha Army Service Corps, was formed as a component part of The Brigade of Gurkhas on 1 July 1958.

The Aldershot, Hants-based regiment, 10 QOGLR, which consists of 55% Gurkhas, 9% foreign and Commonwealth nationals, and 36% Brits, celebrated its 50th anniversary last year. Although some of the 523-strong regiment have already seen service in Afghanistan, this is the first time the whole regiment has been stationed there.

It deploys this month and will be stationed there for the next six months. The regiment will play a vital role, supporting British troops fighting the Taliban and attempting to maintain peace in the country. "You can't underestimate the role of logistics," says Captain Giles Sugdon. "Victory is the flower, but logistics is the stem."
