Storage of military equipment – theoretical considerations

The article presents various aspects of temporary protection of military equipment that has been withdrawn from active service. It contains the analysis of the temporary protection methods used by the Polish Armed Forces, and describes their impact on the technical condition of the equipment (vehicles) stored. In addition, explanations of the basic storage-related terms used in the military are provided. The causes of corrosion and its types are considered as well. Due to the fact that temporary protection schemes play a vital role in the operation of military equipment, an attempt has been made to systematize the area. Hence, a proposal determining the structure of the temporary vehicle protection system has been put forward.
