The improvement possibilities in the study of the logistics of the military operations
Abstract
The imperative posed by modern logistics systems is aimed at achieving the ability to recognize the request of the users of the logistics service, to shorten the response time and the provision of the service, to rationalize the use of resources and to achieve the highest efficiency. In order to ensure adequate logistics of the Army in the conduct of operations, it is necessary, among other things, to have sufficient human resources, and it is necessary to create personnel through the process of education and upbringing, studying the right contents and the right way. Army operations are large-scale project-type jobs that are complex in terms of organization and technology of execution, are inimitable, employ considerable resources that are limited in principle, require good coordination (coordinated action), homogeneous handling, and skillful management of resources of all kinds. In order to ensure the high quality of Army operations, it is very important to have a balanced view of Army operations between general management interested in the aggregate quality of operations quality and logistics professionals engaged in special and individual specialties within the "aggregate" quality function. It is necessary that the supported system and the logistical system achieve dialectical unity and act more synergistically. The needs of the practice, the demands of the times, and contemporary trends require that more work be done to modernize the way Army operations are studied and the logistics of operations, as the development of higher education science, organization and technology, and the use of forces and resources (resources) require it. The study of the logistics of the Army's operations (and the operations of the Army as a whole) should be done on the principles and logic of a systemic and situational approach, realizing the triune unity of matter, information, and measures. This provides the necessary comprehensive knowledge (as opposed to factual and fragmentary) and avoids the kaleidoscopic picture of reality. General theoretical knowledge in the field of planning and management, project management, quality, and teamwork is an adequate basis for improving the study and operational work on the logistics of operations. The synthesis of available domestic and foreign, civilian and military, theoretical and empirical knowledge of operations logistics and military operations creates a solid starting point for advancing thinking about the logistics of military operations and arouses greater interest in the military and the University of Defense, for this area very important for the country's defense. Changes in access to operations logistics will also trigger changes in access to operations of the military as a whole. By improving the study of the logistics of the operations of the Army, it contributes, among other benefits, to the enhancement of the personnel's personal capacity, the ability of commands and staffs, and the enhancement of the Army's overall operational and functional capabilities and its ability to fulfill constitutional and legal obligations.
