Abstract
Basic principles which explain the concept of logistic support for NATO operations are: collaboration, coordination, prioritization of operations, flexibility and synergies. This means that the concept must be flexible enough in creating conditions for the implementation of national concepts to support and recognize the advantages of logistic support of NATO member countries. NATO commander coordinates the overall logistic efforts to achieve better logistic support for
their operating plan. This responsibility requires the establishment of coordination bodies inside NATO command and management structure in order to ensure coordination of logistic support. Logistic coordination bodies are Staff (CJ4- Combined Joint) integration elements. In case
of an increased number of logistic requests a central coordination, entity known as multinational joint logistic center (MJLC-Multinational Joint Logistics Center) could be established. The main focus of the NATO military bodies is to coordinate the logistic efforts and need for establishment of units for multinational integrated logistic needs MILU (Multinational Integrated Logistics Units). The formation of these units is in support of implementation of the principle of a “leading country” (LN-Lead Nation). At the end of this paper we conclude that the NATO member states have collective responsibility for logistic support in NATO-led multinational military operations.
Key words: logistic support, NATO, military operations, logistic information system, Lead Nation
