Summary/Abstract: The success of any military alliances or coalitions in operations depends on the degree of cooperation that goes beyond a "division of labor." It requires the development and implementation of common doctrine, training, and the ability to operate smoothly as a combined, integrated force, similarly to the way in which military services from some developed countries operate jointly today. In order to reach the end state of any operation, a proper logistic approach is needed. It is known that, generally, logistics consists of several complementary functions that must be integrated to support military operations. Because NATO principles and policies for logistics establish the principle of the collective responsibility of nations and NATO authorities for logistic support of NATO’s multinational operations, multinational logistics could be the desired key to success.
