Movement and transport planning involves the coordination of a whole complex of influence factors including: the dimensions of the deployed force as well as the logistical support required, the requirements for the time to reach the destination for each structure, the availability of means of transport and their transport capacity, the tactical situation, the terrain conditions, the season and the weather, the availability and maintenance of the communication routes and their occupancy, the existence of threats in the travel strip and their level, the availability of force protection measures, etc. The analysis and application of the measures necessary to improve the influence of these factors on the execution of the mission is a laborious and detailed work with a great need of time for completion. In order to counter the waste of time, as well as the precise and scientific planning of logistics supply and transport support, the North Atlantic Alliance has designed and made available to transport planners in the member countries the package of specialized logistics programmes – LOGFAS (Logistics Functional Area Services).
