Logistics support of resolute support mission.
Journal Title: Security and Defence Quarterly - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
The Resolute Support Mission (RS) is the extension to the completion of ISAF operations. It is expected to start on 1 January 2015. NATO member states as well as troop contributing nations’ units are entering a completely different situation compared to the current course of the mission. The RS mission is based on different assumptions including the drastic scaling down of the military presence in the area of operation. The main focus is shifting from combat operations to training, advice and assistance to the Afghan National Security Forces. Also, a very important role will be given to advisory and assistance support for the Afghan Security Institutions, primarily at the ministerial level in the Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Interior and the National Directorate of Security. Logistics capability to support this type of military operation is fundamental for ensuring the success of the mission. Clear roles for all participants in the supply chain will require not only the necessary international support, but also the internal logistical connection. The classical military logistical support will be replaced by some, so far, less applied models. Furthermore, the plan is to increase the use of multinational logistics agreements, the joint logistics support group, commercial contracts and the support capabilities of the host nation. The logistics organisation designed in this way will represent a major challenge for its implementation in practice.
