Cargo transport management in the military sector

Abstract

From the beginning of military activity, transport played a priority role in implementing military security tasks, guaranteeing the success of operations or wars. Over the years, significant changes in the implementation of tasks in transport and military movement can be observed, which took place in the technological, infrastructure, and management dimensions. Thanks to new discoveries and introduced modifications, the ability to implement military transport was increased in accordance with the dynamically changing needs of operational troops. The research problem has been specified in the following form: What factors impact the development of cargo transport capacity in the military sector? The material uses several research methods, the leading of which were: analysis and synthesis, querying the literature on the subject, abstraction, and inference. The diagnostic survey was conducted using an expert interview technique as an empirical method. The article identifies the factors most influencing the development of cargo capacity in the military sector, simultaneously pointing to the need to tighten the cooperation undertaken in this area between the civil and military circles. Particular attention was paid to factors that critically impact the development of transport capacity in the military sector. The obtained results made it possible to indicate that the development of the military cargo transport capability is a priority in the process of improving the military transport and movement subsystem. Particular attention should be paid to enhancing managerial abilities, which are a crucial element in ensuring appropriate conditions for the performance of tasks by the armed forces.
