That may well be true for the US army, but it's a little different in the rest of the world. Sure every effort would be made to resupply in contact, but that's just purely combat stores, not day to day items.
When you're hundreds of kilometres from anywhere on foot chances are you're not going to get anything more than what you've got already. Things may be different today in 2011, but back in the early 90's it was a completely different ball game. This situation would have continued on into the Twilight War, perhaps improving in 1996/97, but certainly getting worse the later it was.
In T2K, those units who were already used to minimal resupply, are likely to be the most sucessful post nuke.
