All military logistics actions in support of tactical and/or joint forces require leaders and logistics specialists with availability and skills to apply digital procedures, automation, etc., according to functional procedures at the levels of top management, middle-management, low management and execution in the conditions of continuous and cybernetically protected communications in order to achieve the flows of logistical goods and services, adequate to provide sufficient logistical support to consumers and users of the combatant military structures in order to fulfill their missions. Because the relevance of modernizing operational military logistics, also known as consumer logistics, is given by its systemic and subsystemic functional nature, I will further highlight some innovative elements, generating efficiency, related to some of its essential functional areas At the same time, the holistic dimension of the effective and efficient management of the logistic support structures will be presented by revealing some aspects of the improvement of the operational logistics planning.
