What is the logistics measure of volume?

• A. total cubic meters of deployable consumables, support equipment, energy, and spares
• B. total weight of deployable consumables, support equipment, energy, and spares
• C. total square footage of deployable consumables, support equipment, energy, and spares
• D. total cost of deployable consumables, support equipment, energy, and spares

Answer: (C)

Volume in logistics is about how much three-dimensional space the items will occupy, not how heavy they are or how much area they cover. It’s measured in cubic meters (or cubic feet) by accounting for length, width, and height of the cargo. So describing the total cubic meters of deployable consumables, support equipment, energy, and spares matches this concept perfectly. Weight would describe mass, square footage describes area, and cost describes value, none of which measure the space required for transport or storage.
