ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

LOGCAP

Okay kiddo, imagine you are having a big party and you need help with everything like cooking, cleaning, and decorations. But you don't have enough friends to help you! So, you hire some people to help you.

LogCap is like that, but on a much larger scale. When the US military deploys to different parts of the world, they need help with things like food, housing, transportation, and other basic needs. But they can't do it all themselves, so they hire a big team of people to help them.

This team is called the Logistics Civil Augmentation Program, or LogCap for short. It includes lots of different companies and people who work together to support the military. They do things like build camps, provide food, manage transportation, and more.

So, just like you hired people to help you with your party, the military hires LogCap to help them with their operations. It's a big team effort to make sure that the military has everything they need to do their job and stay safe while they're doing it.
