At the Battle of Saratoga, the British faced significant logistical challenges, particularly due to supply line disruptions.

British General John Burgoyne found it difficult to keep food, ammunition, and reinforcements coming in as he moved forward from Canada. These challenges were worsened by inadequate coordination and communication, which made it tougher for British forces to continue their operations. Their position was compromised by these supply challenges, putting them more exposed to attack by American forces, who were better at making use of the local resources and terrain. Ultimately, these logistical missteps played a significant role in the Revolutionary War's turning point—the British defeat at Saratoga.
