Enablement and Logistics in Military Operations: Comparing Russia and NATO
Alexander Sollfrank and Sergei Boeke
9 December 2024Long Read
In light of the war in Ukraine, NATO needs to further enhance its logistics capabilities.
The Russian war of aggression in Ukraine has highlighted the importance of enablement and logistics in large interstate conflict. Alexander Sollfrank and Sergei Boeke make a first comparison between Russian and NATO approaches to enablement and logistics, highlighting strengths and vulnerabilities of each. NATO has recently improved its ability to reinforce forces at speed and at scale, and to sustain them, but there is still much work to do. As the Alliance refocuses on collective defence, effective deterrence requires a shift from logistics as a national responsibility to a more collective approach to enablement.
