Summary/Abstract: All modern armed forces, as the authors emphasise, constantly reconfigure their combat structures, while granting a similar priority to the logistic support units. In this context, the authors consider that all political and military factors should be aware that missions, irrespective of their type, cannot be fulfilled without an adequate logistic support. The year 2009, with all the problems triggered by the global economic crisis, must be, at least at the conceptual level, an important milestone in the transformation of the Romanian Armed Forces logistics. This need for transformation has been materialised by the specialised personnel of the Logistics Directorate of the General Staff through the development of the Romanian Armed Forces Logistics Strategy. This document, particularly important for logistics, incorporates NATO member states efforts to adapt the latest approaches in the field to meet the practical way in which the national economy can sustain its armed forces.
