Abstract in English<br />
In our today’s economic life, logistics plays a major role. But strictly speaking, logistics<br />
was a typical military term for h<strong>und</strong>reds of years. Since the 50ies of the last century<br />
it has become a more and more economic term. Nowadays only a few are beware<br />
of that fact.<br />
Therefore it is rather interesting, how currently implemented military logistic systems<br />
are organized and working, especially after the ending of the cold war and <strong>und</strong>er the<br />
new threatening scenarios since 9/11.<br />
In this paper the emphasis lies upon the logistic system of the Austrian Army,<br />
whereas comparisons with the Swiss Army and the NATO are made. These organizations<br />
are chosen, because Switzerland is also a small and neutral country and<br />
inland as well and Austria is a member of the NATO-PfP.<br />
Not only comparisons with other logistic systems are made, but also the efficiency of<br />
the logistic system of the Austrian Army itself is investigated. Because of the increasing<br />
number of international missions it is justified to ask, if the currently implemented<br />
logistic system is sufficient enough to fulfill these requirements. This is done<br />
by the deployment of a part of the Austrian Air Defense Forces for an exercise to the<br />
shooting range in Ustka/Poland in September 2003.
