Wsparcie logistyczne wojsk w operacjach stabilizacyjnych

The article presents the problems of logistic support of troops participating in stabilisation operations taking into consideration conditions to reach interoperability with NATO armies and changes occurring in the theory of conducting operations. Multinational character of troops taking part in a stabilisation operation (e.g. 22 countries in “Iraqi Freedom”) and consequently a low level of their interoperability causes that the organisation of logistic support of troops participating in it is and probably will long be very complicated. It is forecast that the higher standardisation of the Polish Land Forces with other NATO armies (mainly achieving the level of compatibility and interoperability), the fewer problems connected with their logistic support. The article also describes new phenomena and tendencies resulting from creating multinational divisions and corps, the functioning of multinational logistics and the necessity of taking over tasks by one country that result from a host country function in case of carrying out stabilisation activities outside the Alliance territory.
