This paper contains a proposal of multidimensional assessment of fundamental military categories such as military power, military capability, military force and destruction charge. The methodological foundation for estimates of the manifestations of national power is a formula developed by author. The purpose of these estimates is a proper evaluation of the relations of forces in the international arena. Calculations suggested in the article show that this is a complex process, requiring military, political and economic knowledge.

The article features the Polish Military Contingent's (PMC) materiel support during the first three rotations. In the introduction, the Multi-National Division’s -Central South (MND-CS) structure and short characteristics of conditions in which PMC supply was carried out. The next part focuses on International accords signed between Poland and the United States which were the basis to develop the concept of PMC logistic support assigned for operations within the framework of Operation Iraqi Freedom. The final part of the article concerns accomplishing tasks of national materiel support subsystem for the PMC Iraq. Moreover, the use of assets in the first three rotations is presented in a chart. It is worth stressing that during the Operation Iraqi Freedom, two nomenclatures of supply class were used: five classes of supply in the national system and ten supply classes -within the coalition (these are American supply class systems). Furthermore, an essential role in materiel supply and storage played the functioning of two systems: ACSC supply system in relation to all MND troops and national system carried out within the Polish National Support Element. Applying two procurement systems in relation to contingents carrying out tasks outside the country seems a good solution due to the fact that it eliminates costly transfer of some goods which may be acquired in the area of the mission through contractors or purchases. Consequently, it contributes to the decrease of costs that materiel supply insurance bears.

A means leading to decrease both the costs resulting from the rotation and keeping war reserves of the armed forces is to store a particular amount of the Polish Armed Forces’ war reserves in the national economy. This issue concerns mainly the possibility to fuel and lubricants as well as food and uniforms. The author believes that the introduction of the suggested model of the reserves’ economy will not cause organisational problems, whereas the savings depending on the range of products and amounts of deposits will be significant. He estimates that they could amount to one fifth of current costs.
