A judicious planning of the logistic support provided for the national military contingents earmarked to participate in multinational peace support operations must take into consideration the number of contingents to be deployed, their area of responsibility, their mission length, the facilities provided in the theater of operation and their providers. Moreover, such planning involves a thorough knowledge and application of STANAGs. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to focus on some of the fundamental aspects included in the logistic support planning guidance for the national military contingents participating in multinational peace support operations.
