logistical support
Behind-the-scenes coordination
Logistical support is the practical coordination behind an operation—supplies, transportation, equipment, personnel.
Military operations require logistical support to move troops and materiel.
The term extends to any organized effort: The film crew needed logistical support for the desert shoot.
