To provide someone or something with a new or additional stock of something needed, like food, ammunition, or fuel.
From the prefix 're-' (again) combined with 'supply' (from Latin 'supplere,' to fill up). The compound became common in military contexts during the 20th century.
The D-Day invasion in World War II involved incredibly complex resupply chains across the English Channel—soldiers needed constant streams of ammunition, food, and medical supplies. Without logistical resupply networks, even the biggest military victories fail within days.
