Journal Title: MEST Journal - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
Logistics in the Armed Forces of the Slovak Republic (AF SR) now gains importance and is irreplaceable in the comprehensive security of the complex combat activities of troops. Logistics management is implemented in activities such as planning, organization, implementation, control, and assistance in all logistics functional areas. Modern logistics management in the Slovak armed forces must be flexibly adapted to the individual levels of command and control of troops. Managing the flow of material flow in the Slovak Republic according to the proven principle: "just in time" requires adequate structures at individual levels of management, closely linked to the information, communication and recording system. The Military Doctrine of the Slovak Republic establishes three levels of war - strategic, operational and tactical, which are applied in war and non-military operations. However, in today's international environment, it is not possible to determine with certainty at what level the organizational structure operates. All levels are interconnected. The Ministry of Defence and the General Staff of the Slovak Armed Forces focus on the strategic logistics management. The logistics office resolves operational and some strategic logistics issues. Logistics departments of ground and air forces deal with operational logistics management, influencing the tasks imposed on the commander in the operational plan for the use of Slovak armed forces, including the creation of procedures, doctrines and training documents. At a tactical level, the logistics of departments and units are organically integrated into the structures of their headquarters with their subordinate logistics units. The paper deals with the structure of logistics management in the AF SR and the role of its individual elements at the strategic, operational and tactical level. Finally, it shows possible ways and goals of logistics management for the future.
