Pathline for Contested Logistics
From a planning question to the next response.
Follow a disruption through the network, explore the response options, and bring the focus back to the team on site. Read the walkthrough below while we prepare the film.
Establish the area
Sustainment starts with a clear picture of the area of operations. Pathline brings bases, supply routes, transport modes, and the units they support into one logistics workspace, configured around your mission.
Understand capacity
See each site's support capacity and capabilities alongside current inventory. Knowing where fuel, rations, water, and medical supplies are positioned helps you assess the network, while consumption forecasts show how long critical stocks are projected to last.
Wargame disruption
Then put the plan under pressure. If a route is disrupted and a delivery is delayed, a base may run short while resupply is still in transit. Run the scenario to see how that pressure affects the wider network, exposing chokepoints and the next sustainment problem.
Compare courses of action
Review courses of action with their supporting evidence, comparing speed, cost efficiency, and risk. Understand the expected outcome and remaining shortfalls, including the consequences of taking no action. Your decisions shape what happens next as you advance the simulation.
Follow execution
Follow supplies through movement, delivery, and receipt, checking shipment observations and how fresh they are. Then open My Base to connect the network picture with local inventory, incoming resupply, and consumption forecasts. Supplies in transit are still distinct from stock the destination can use.
Continue in degraded communications
When reachback is interrupted, authorized teams can keep recording supported field operations locally and exchange updates through an available hub. Review discrepancies and reconcile as connectivity returns. TrendLine adds supporting insight into network performance and resilience, while Pathline connects planning with the realities of sustainment.

Know the network behind your mission.
See bases, support areas, and supply routes in context. Connect your mission requirements with the capacity and resources positioned across the area of operations.
- Personnel estimates, their sources, and assigned support sites
- Daily support capacity and configured services, alongside stock on hand
- Supply routes and the transport available
Put your sustainment plan under pressure.
Wargame interrupted routes, delayed movements, and changing demand. Find chokepoints before they shape the next sustainment decision.
- Adjust the scenario as your planning questions change
- Trace how route closures and rising demand affect other sites
- Refresh NWS weather information and see its source and time
See the reasoning behind the next move.
A dispatched convoy does not immediately resolve a base’s shortfall. Compare a course of action with taking no action over the same period, then advance the simulation and follow the selected decision through to its effects.
- Understand the cause, assumptions, and speed, cost efficiency, and risk tradeoffs
- See when supplies could arrive and which shortages could remain
- Follow your selected response into the next scenario step
See how long your supplies could last.
See what the base has on hand, how quickly it is being used, and what is coming next. A delivery on the way stays separate from supplies your team can use today.
- Available stock and supplies committed elsewhere
- Incoming deliveries and when they were last updated
- Consumption forecasts for each site
Support the mission through degraded communications.
Keep recording supported field operations when reachback is interrupted. Exchange updates through an available local hub, then review discrepancies and reconcile with the central system as connectivity returns.
- Record a physical count and link any correction to it
- See which updates are stored locally or shared with the hub
- Resolve discrepancies while keeping unmatched receipts visible for review
Start with your mission.
We work with your team to bring your locations, supply needs, and transport options into Pathline. Together, we build a starting picture that reflects your operation, so your team can explore scenarios and record field updates as the situation develops.
Start with your situation
Tell us where your teams work, what they need to move, and what gets in the way.
Build your starting picture
We configure your sites, routes, resources, and constraints around the work you do.
Put the plan to work
Your team can explore scenarios and keep site records up to date as conditions change.
A few practical questions
We configure a baseline around your bases, supported units, transport options, and sustainment requirements. Your team can then adjust supported scenario inputs, compare courses of action, and record site counts, receipts, and corrections as conditions change.
Support capacity describes how many people a site is configured to support per day. Inventory shows the supplies on hand, while consumption forecasts estimate how long they could last. Read them together: a site may have room to support more people and still need another water delivery.
You can refresh National Weather Service information and inspect its source, effective time, and expiry. Simulated conditions are identified separately, so the disruption you are rehearsing stays distinct from the weather information you are consulting.
A count records what your team observed; a linked correction records the stock adjustment. Authorized teams can retain supported operations locally and exchange them through an available hub. When the central connection returns, the team can review and resolve discrepancies. A receipt that cannot be matched stays visible for further review.
Insight for the networks your teams depend on.
Defense teams depend on communications as well as supplies. TrendLine supports network performance analysis and disruption testing, helping teams understand how their networks behave under pressure.
Network health
Explore latency, throughput, packet loss, and anomalies with the evidence behind them.
Communications resilience
Test disruption scenarios and review recommendations for resilient network planning.
