128 Figure 4: Supply Chain in Support of Military Deployment Supply chain resilience can be defined as "the adaptive capability of the supply chain to prepare for unexpected events, respond to disruptions, and recover from them, by maintaining continuity of operations at the desired level of connectedness and control over structure and function."3 An important extension to this definition of supply chain resilience is offered by Sheffi who states that it is "not just managing risk but also offering an opportunity to be in a better position than the competition to recognize and respond to an event, and even to gain advantage from a disruption."4 In other words, supply chain resilience should not only be concerned with how to provide the most effective and efficient response to a disruption, but also how to anticipate likely disruptions and put in place the capability to minimize potential impacts, or hopefully avoid them altogether. Another important concept is social capital, which can be defined as the ability of groups or communities to cope with external stresses and disturbances as a result of social, political, and environmental change.5 In the context of 3 Falasca, M., Zobel, C., & Cook, D
