logistic
Concerning coordination details
Logistic relates to the planning and coordination of complex operations, especially moving supplies, equipment, or people: logistic support, logistic challenges.
The word appears most often in its plural form logistics, which names the field itself: The logistics of the wedding were overwhelming.
Military operations depend heavily on logistics—troops need food, fuel, and ammunition before they can fight.
