Research dilemma of military logistics
Research dilemma of military logistics

Summary/Abstract: For many years, continuous work has been carried out at the level of theory and practice aimed at sorting out the terminological chaos and defining a transparent, universally acceptable scope of mili- tary logistics research. Despite many attempts made by numerous circles conducting scientific research on the problems of modern military logistics, so far it has not been possible to develop the necessary consensus. This state of affairs is most influenced by the interdisciplinary nature of logistics issues in the military sector and the high dynamics of changes taking place in military logistics systems, as well as their environment. Currently, however, many arguments indicate that for the further development of military logistics, it is necessary to undertake extensive research aimed at identifying the scope of its research fields and indicating further research perspectives of military logistics. The aim of the article is to identify and evaluate the scientific evolution of military logistics and to indicate its further research perspectives in an interdisciplinary formula. The research problem undertaken to be solved has been specified in the following form: what priority research directions should be adopted in the development of military logistics and what affects the improvement of its dimension to the expectations of entities creating the military logistics system? A number of methods were used in the material, among which the leading ones were: analysis and synthesis, querying the literature on the subject, abstraction and inference. As an empirical method, the diagnostic survey method using the expert interview technique was used. The adopted approach made it possible to obtain a cross-cutting nature of the considerations, at the same time providing grounds for further, extended research on this extremely important and current problem.
