The logistical support system elements for the preparedness for military operations

Lesia Kostiuchenko, Andrii Kostiuchenko.«The logistical support system elements for the preparedness for military operations».The modern views of the essence and content of logistics support for the preparedness for military operations for military logisticians and academic experts differ in some way.The main differences in the views of the authors are based on defining the boundaries of the logistics system.In particular, military traditions significantly narrow the field of logistics management of the processes of providing structural units under certain conditions.At the same time, approaches to the organization of logistical support of rear structures and units that perform military operations are different algorithms.On the contrary, according to the academic vision, the logistics of military units is only part of the macro-logistics system.That is why the purpose of this study is to search a science-based system of supporting of all participants in the logistics chain for the preparedness for military operations.The implementation project of key elements of the logistical support system of readiness of the armed forces units for military operations is offered.The implementation of these proposals is expected to achieve a synergistic effect, namely: a powerful reduction in time, which is very critical in terms of active military operations; achieving high quality of logistic support operations; reducing the prime cost of operations, especially one-time or functionally unacceptable for military units; quick reaction to change of conditions, etc.Such results can accelerate the practical implementation of NATO standards in the armed forces.
