Sažetak

The combat power of military troops is highly dependent on resilient supply chain management. Recent trends in the application of offensive drone technologies elevate the risks of supply chain failures along the last mile and demand pre-emptive resilience strategies. This paper presents a concept for increased resilience in military logistics that considers requirements elicited with methods from process engineering in collaboration with experts from the Austrian military logistics school. On a basic level, the concept is defined by a) decentralization of repositories at the battalion and company level achieved by cluster-forming technologies, and b) cross-docking for short-time supply points. The presented concept depends on the successful integration of cluster-forming technologies, but if done properly, it has the potential to improve the resilience of modern military logistics.
