Analysis of the current state and prospects for the development of logistical support during preparation and during hostilities
Abstract
Purpose: to investigate and examine the most important factors of effective logistical support during preparation and in the course of combat operations. It is aimed at identifying key issues and developing proposals and recommendations for enhancing logistics capabilities to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine during large-scale armed aggression by the Russian Federation.
Method: theoretical-analytical. It includes a review of previous research, identification of key themes and issues, analysis of available data, and formulation of conclusions and recommendations.
Findings: it was determined that the most effective logistical resources during combat operations are the use of ground transportation for logistics. Emphasis was placed on the fact that the use of unmanned aerial vehicles is a new and effective method of logistics during war. On the path to addressing logistical challenges, it is advisable to utilize NATO standards as an effective model.
Theoretical implications: lies in its ability to systematically examine key aspects of logistics in the context of military operations. It allows understanding the role of logistics in successful military operations and identifying the potential advantages of using various logistic resources, including unmanned aerial vehicles.
Practical implications: the analysis results can be valuable for developing strategies and policies for military logistics support, as well as for enhancing the overall effectiveness and efficiency of military operations.
Value: The study explores the current state and future prospects of logistics support in the context of preparing for and conducting military operations, which is a crucial aspect of military strategy and security.
Future research: іn the context of rapid changes during the war with Russia, the findings of the study may vary significantly and require further investigation.
Paper type: theoretical, review.
