Logistics' way of saying the war isn't over just because you ran out of bullets.
means To provide fresh stocks of something—supplies, ammunition, goods—to replace what's been used up.
from Simple carpentry: the Latin prefix 're-' (again) bolted onto 'supply,' itself from Latin 'supplere' — to fill up, make complete, from 'sub-' (up from below) plus 'plere' (to fill). The word has always meant furnishing what's needed; 'resupply' just admits you'll need furnishing more than once.
