Logistic regiments in the logistic system of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland

Summary/Abstract: Changes in the logistic system of the Polish Armed Forces caused by an increase in the size of the Polish army have brought about the necessity to modernize the system of logistic support of troops operating during peace, crisis and war. One of the recently introduced organizational and functional changes, was the creation of logistic regiments, intended for the execution of tasks previously assigned to Divisional Logistic Support Groups in the area of direct operations in the Division’s area of responsibility. The aim of the article is to determine the ability of logistics regiments to take over the role of economic branches in the zone of direct operations in the area of responsibility of the Division, which in the authors’ opinion is a research niche. The main research problem is to indicate whether there is a need to entrust logistic regiments with the role of disbursers of third-level budget funds and whether their organizational structure and mutual correlations with elements of the territorial system of logistic support of troops will give the possibility of efficient and effective logistic support of the Division in the area of its responsibility? The authors confirm the hypothesis that extending the tasks of logistics regiments, functioning in peacetime, to the implementation of the function of the administrator of third-level budget funds is justified. Such a solution may, on the one hand, relieve the currently functioning territorial logistics support system, and on the other hand, prepare logistics regiments for their rational use during crisis and war.
