DILEMMAS WHILE PROVIDING TECHNICAL SUPPORT TO POLISH MILITARY CONTINGENT IN AFGHANISTAN
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2011, Vol 159, Issue 1
Abstract
A significantly increased involvement of the Polish Armed Forces in overseas operations recently has resulted in fundamental changes in the completion of logistic support tasks. A special role in this respect falls upon technical support, which directly determines the completion of tasks while ensuring the safety of soldiers. With the current legal and organisational conditions in which the logistic system of the Polish Armed Forces operates, a number of problems related to the operation of military technology arise, the solution of which influences the fulfilment of tasks facing the soldiers carrying out their duties under extremely difficult conditions.The aim of this article is to define contemporary dilemmas associated with full technical support provided to Polish troops in Afghanistan and to indicate the way in which this system should improve.
