The purpose of this article is to discuss the current approach to determining the amount and composition of ammunition stocks, including the strengths and weaknesses of individual practices within North Atlantic Treaty Organization and its selected member states. The starting points of this article are the practical findings in the preparation of NATO and EU battlegroups, including real foreign operations. The individual methods were analyzed with a partial use of SWOT analysis, with a main focus on the strengths and weaknesses of the inventory process. There were found discrepancies between the general principle of individual methods and their practical application. A major drawback is that the principle for calculating inventory needs for combat activities is yet unestablished, where the internal regulation does provide for 120 SDOS and the introduction of some coefficients. However, doing so without establishing the principle of creating its amount. The article offers possible solutions to increase the efficiency of inventory generation in order to achieve greater objectivity in the planning process of operations management and crisis management, including self-provision of ammunition stockpiles.

The article describes the application of standard methods of determining savings in the commodity acquisition, which do not impose an obligation to evaluate the centralized award system and the Methodology for the Quantification of Savings set by the Ministry for Regional Development of the Czech Republic. The process is related to the tyres within the Ministry of Defence acquired in the centralized and decentralized manners in the period 2014-2017. In the decentralized manner, higher variability of unit prices and higher variability of the number of suppliers are expected. In the centralized manner, the constant price level is predicted since the supplier is permanent during the whole period of the performance of the framework agreement for a period of two years. Statistical methods-the hypothesis testing method-are used to compare the unit prices in both manners. The comparison has been carried out by the two-sample t-test of the mean values of two selections in order to determine the differences in the amount of financial resources. It has been found that the unit prices of the centralized acquisition are higher than the unit prices of the decentralized acquisition; therefore, the centralized manner of acquisition is more expensive than the decentralized one.

The article deals with the implementation of an ecologically oriented tool in the form of an Environmental Management System in the conditions of the Army of the Czech Republic. Generally, through the system, better results in the field of environmental care are achieved. The article provides the bases for the implementation of the ecological system in relation to the legislative and legal standards, which are obligatory in compliance with environmental protection principles within the legal order of the Czech Republic. As a result of the research, the benefits of the environmental system for the Army, interconnected with the civilian sector, are presented. Emphasis is placed on the attributes of sustainable development that are essential for preserving the lives of future generations.
