Is Blockchain the U.S. Military's Next Great Weapon?

Now that blockchain technology has become a topic of mainstream interest, innovative minds have begun to explore ways to unleash its power. Unsurprisingly, the United States Department of Defense (DOD) has taken an interest in devising several use cases to take advantage of this emerging technology.

Since antiquity, militaries have required specialized professionals to maintain their daily needs. Whether it was hot meals, uniforms, or weapons crafting, these individuals (i.e., logisticians) played a critical role in the success or failure of major military campaigns. Circa 315 BCE, Alexander the Great, was quoted as saying, “My logisticians are a humorless lot… they know if my campaign fails, they are the first ones I will slay.” Approximately 2,100 years later, Napoleon Bonaparte is attributed with the quote, “The amateurs discuss tactics: the professionals discuss logistics.” Essentially, both of these military geniuses knew highly successful armies were less effective without a consistently strong supply line.
