Many years ago, I read a translation of Julius Caesar's Gallic Wars. One of the many things that impressed me about the man's military skills was his careful planning of logistics before every year's campaigning. He drew on his knowledge (and gathered intelligence) of tribal politics to guess who was going to make trouble next year, and established supply depots in those areas.
The man is considered one of the greatest generals in history--and one of his top concerns was his supply line. You can bet he valued the soldier whose job was to fill tool boxes.
