Concept of logistic support module for marine task forces
The specificity of naval forces provide the continuity of logistic support of both the naval bases and in the joint operations area located at open sea. Logistical support of naval forces, therefore, includes a coastal support (ashore support) and on the sea (afloat support). The afloat support is realized by the ships of logistical support, universal supplies ships, tankers, medical support ships and floating repair ships. The ashore support is realized through a forward and advanced support system. The article presents the concept of the logistics module, which allows comprehensive logistic support for naval task forces operating at a long distance from their shore bases.
