Soooo... following the roaring success (no pun intended) of my Jurassic Park rosary, I made a decade using paracord.

WW2 Pacific theater, there was different ways of doing it.

Had the refrigerated barge for one,

then we had bomber ice cream.

Source they linked for that here

And another

One documentary I watched had someone quoting Napoleon I think it was at one point, short version of the quite was something along the lines of.

'wars are won or lost through logistics'

Our industrial output could not be matched.

And then after it was all over the Berlin Airlift managed to eventually get stalin and the rest of the soviets to back off on trying to claim the whole city for themselves, because starving people out wasn't going to work, we'd managed to move more supplies into the city than should have been possible.

Fat Electrician has a good video on that.

Biggest Logistical Flex Of All Time - Berlin Airlift

Someone [American] asked why do you like us? We dropped 2 nuclear bombs on you. You should definitely hate us.

The Japanese overwhelmingly told stories of the 2011 earthquake/tsunami. The American military showed up and kinda bullied the Japanese into taking help. There are stories of soldiers getting an entire airport up and running in hours. Of the USS Ronald Reagan (an Aircraft carrier) and her support fleet having the port operational upon arrival. Of Air Force helos calling "weight emergencies" to the tower to force landings in unauthorized areas where people were still trapped in order to drop off supplies.

One of them said Japan appreciated all the help. It was great. But it was absolute proof Japanese can never win a war against the United States. He pointed out the Japanese government and defense ministry hadn't gotten anything mobilized when the US military had air, land, and sea control in under 48 hours.

Japan didn't ask for aid.
