Why this formula appears here
The concept is routinely taught as a matter of judgement. It is more usefully written as an identity. Let C be the consumption rate of a force in the field and T(r) the sustained throughput that can be delivered to it at distance r from the last high-capacity transfer point. Stock at the front then evolves as

The analytical payoff is that culmination is not a surprise that occurs at the front. It is a property of the whole system, computable before departure, and located where the transfer capacity is — not where the fighting is. The judgement that remains is about C , which varies enormously with intensity, and about the reliability of T(r) under attrition and weather. Those are uncertainty ranges, not unknowables.
