Based on the analysis of factors that affect logistics processes, existing risks and organizational and technical capabilities to carry out appropriate measures, actual ways to increase the efficiency of logistics of drinking water supply to military personnel in the field are identified, the expected nature of the impact of these ways is shown. It is concluded that in terms of the level and mechanisms of influence on logistics processes, the measures that should be carried out within the framework of certain ways go beyond the competence of only the logistics forces of military units and require the powers of the logistics management bodies of higher levels. Emphasis was placed on increasing the efficiency of drinking water delivery in the first lane of logistics support during the performance of assigned tasks by units of the National Guard of Ukraine as part of the Defense Forces of Ukraine.
