“…This military logistics system is extremely well organized and follows a chain of command when it comes to managing logistics operations. Lis & Jałowiec [6] defines the military logistics system as having eight logistics primary components: doctrine, organization, training, materials, leadership, personnel, facilities, and interoperability.

Disasters frequently strike at any time of day or night, necessitating swift action and close coordination between various agencies. When a disaster response becomes increasingly time-consuming, the Armed Forces are frequently called in to assist. Despite the fact that disaster management is not the primary responsibility of the Armed Forces, however, the Armed Forces are frequently used as disaster response machinery because they have complete equipment, logistics, and personnel. In order to identify the logistics system available in the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF), this study was carried out with a particular emphasis on integration and disaster management in the Armed Forces. A qualitative inquiry methodology was used to complete this study. A protocol for conducting interviews was developed and used as a guideline throughout the interview process. Snowball purposeful sampling was used in this study, which included 13 key informants from the Army, Navy, and Air Force. These individuals work in the logistics field and came from all three branches of the military. According to the findings of this study, there are no job specifications and specialisations in disaster management in the MAF. The systematic logistics management implemented by the MAF, on the other hand, has made it easier to coordinate assistance during disasters. In addition, the strength in terms of knowledge, skills and discipline portrayed by the MAF personnel showed a very high commitment to achieving disaster management objectives. This advantage is widely regarded as the most important factor in ensuring that disaster response is carried out effectively and efficiently.

Research purpose: The aim of the paper is to identify the scope of the engagement of the military logistic system in supporting civil crisis management operations and reducing the negative effects of natural disasters and technical failures. Methodology/approach:The single case study methodology is applied to achieve the aim of the research. The case analysis focuses its attention on the logistic system of the Polish Armed Forces as the unit of the study. The following methods have been used to collect the data for the study: literature review, documentation analysis, analysis of the news published on the website of the Inspectorate for the Armed Forces Support and participatory observation. Findings:The key areas of support provided by military logistics for the operations of civil crisis management encompass preparing the conditions for temporary stay of evacuated population and medical support. The lessons identified from the civil crisis management operations conducted between 2008 and 2015 confirm that the scope of real life support provided by the military logistic system is consistent with the priorities of crisis and humanitarian logistics which include supplies of drinkable water, food, clothes, electric power and logistic services. Limitations/implications:The applied methodology of the single case study limits the possibility to generalize the findings. The analysis is deeply embedded into a given context i.e. civil crisis management operations supported by Polish military logistics between 2008 and 2015.Originality/value: So far, not enough research attention has been given to the issue of the military logistics engagement in supporting the civil crisis management to mitigate the negative effects of THE ROLE OF THE MILITARY Andrzej Lis 48 natural disasters and technical failures. Therefore, the study contributes to the efforts to fill the identified gap in knowledge.
