The problems of logistic service support of Polish military units outside the country gains more and more importance. These issues are key requirements posed in the area of operational and strategic capabilities for military units in expeditionary operations which carry out these tasks. A special importance is placed on strategic and tactical and operational airlift capability, air-to-air refueling, ability to conduct operations single-handedly over a certain period of time and effective supply of forces in the area of operation. Therefore, it is right to assume that these tasks have been included into our catalogue of undertakings, to the performing of which the Polish Armed Forces must be ready and this fact justifies the necessity and need to discuss this topic. Moreover, a current analysis of events on the International arena and its influence upon Poland’s security, as well as Polish obligations to the Alliance allow supposing that tasks connected with Polish Military Contingent’s logistic support will be dominant for the Polish Armed Forces in the nearest future.
