I have "Supplying War" by Martin Van Creveld and "Feeding Mars" by John A. Lynn but I am always looking to expand my personal/professional library. Books that are specifically on military logistics I have found somewhat hard to come by and I'm curious if anyone knows of any particularly good ones.

It is tough to find logistics nuggets. Issue is it is just not sexy enough to a wide enough audience. Here is a fairly good article. My BN contributed to it on the heels of Afghanistan rotation 08-09. http://www.nationaljournal.com/magazine/supplying-the-surge-in-afghanistan-20100220

Army Sustainment will work with you if you have a good article idea. Even a self propelled sand bag like me. http://www.alu.army.mil/alog/issues/MarApr01/MS574.htm

Sir, your original article that you linked is no longer available, it seems. Do you have another link you can provide for it?

Another book written about the Gulf War logistics feat was "Delivering the Goods" by Damon Schechter. Easy to read and very interesting.
