The article summarizes the principles governing the delivery of materiel to troops in areas of mission execution that reflect the specific nature of the activities of the National Guard of Ukraine. It reveals the content of the principles of integration with civilian structures, unity of the logistics space, rationality and continuity, resilience and adaptability. Examples of their application are provided with due regard for international experience.
Based on the analysis of scholarly sources devoted to the study of the basic principles for delivering weapons, military and special equipment, as well as materiel to troops under various operational conditions, it was established that the available open sources do not fully disclose the principles of delivering materiel to the forces of the National Guard of Ukraine in areas where assigned missions are performed (state security provision), especially during participation in stabilization operations of a law-enforcement nature. In particular, the proposed principles take into account the procedure for delivering materiel in support of the actions of the National Guard of Ukraine outside areas of active hostilities, while considering the existing risks of modern warfare.
