There is a tendency of intensive development of a new scientific area aimed at optimizing the processes of comprehensive ensuring the life of society and industrial processes of countries, specifically logistics, and its more important aspect, military logistics. This paper considers typical contradictions between the need and opportunities for additional development of the theory of processes involving this system. On the one hand, the military has important, dynamic, multifaceted processes for the comprehensive provision of their combat operations to analyze, which requires significant intensification of the development of methods and models for quantitative analysis of the effectiveness of the functioning of military logistics systems. On the other hand, there is now limited availability of theoretical developments and the practical application of the necessary, convenient, effective mathematical tools aimed at computerization of solving the problems of providing military scientific and technical problems in real time. Matrix technology for forecasting the dynamics of functioning of closed systems of military logistics of various military purposes is proposed. Matrix calculus makes it possible to obtain intermediate and ultimate results in a compact form and carry out complex and cumbersome calculations using effective algorithms. A method to precisely solve the system of linear differential equations describing processes of arbitrary type has been proposed. The method is based on the use of the operational calculus by Laplace. The possibilities of the method and procedures of forecasting are illustrated by solving practical military tasks that arise during the functioning of military logistics systems of varying complexity. These tasks differ in configuration, different numbers of possible states, and state transitions

The current stage of reforming the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AF) confirms that the crisis in the country's economy has significantly affected the system of logistics of troops, which ensures its main task – to maintain the combat readiness of military units and ensure their livelihood in peacetime. The war in the east of the country and the existing state of providing troops showed the need to improve the organization and management of the process of logistical (technical, rear and medical) provision of training and combat use of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which is currently in the phase of perspective changes and necessitates the development of a new concept of military information management and logistical flows, which will be implemented by a new, more efficient structure, called the "military logistics system". The purpose of the article is to determine the directions for the creation and accumulation of an optimal nomenclature of stocks of material resources in peacetime and their rational separation at the tactical, operational and strategic levels of management. The article describes the contents of the concepts of "logistics", "echelon", "stocking", "operational accounting". Important tasks of modern conditions of process of creation and management of stocks in the course of reforming of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are systematized; variants of the offered models of inventory management are outlined. The goal is achieved through theoretical and experimental research on volume optimization and material separation at all levels of management, which is one of the key problems of military logistics.

Powerful military logistics system has been the mighty support of the high technical war, and cost control is the key to improving the efficiency of the military logistics. This paper proposed a cost control method in military logistics system based on activity-based costing (ABC). Starting with the consideration of characteristics of the military logistics, the target of cost control in military logistics system is put forward. Then the feasibility of applying ABC in military logistics cost control is analysed and the principles of it are explained. And in order to realize the target of cost control in military logistics system, the matrixes of the quantity and the distribution ratio of cost driver are constructed by the mathematic model. Finally, on this basis, the model of cost control in military logistics system is built, and the concrete measures is put forward.

In this article, problems of forming an innovation environment for the development of universities and forecasting the needs of the labor market with the use of the logistics system of an educational institution are considered. It is shown that the question of studying the innovative approach of the logistics system in the field of education during the digitalization period is very relevant. The reason for numerous studies in the field of logistics systems has become the fact that the development of an innovative educational sphere is impossible without the availability of effective logistical interaction. Therefore, on the one hand, the education area has all the characteristics and elements characteristic of the traditional logistical system. On the other hand, in the context of the properties of the logistic system of education, one can distinguish its distinctive innovative features, which are manifested in the presence of flows whose effectiveness should be directed at meeting the needs of the labor market and consumers. The article reveals that one of the tasks of the logistics system in the field of education can be the innovative implementation of forecasts of future labor market needs, within the framework of close interaction with the state and employers. Thus, the main task of the logistics system of an educational institution is to determine the forecast of the labor market needs for subsequent technological structures. Another important task is the ability to give a «post-guarantee service» to graduates, i.e. Forming services to improve the qualifications of graduates in the maturity phase of the next technological order. It is shown that the dynamics of demand for specialists in the relevant sectors varies in proportion to the growth phase of each technological order. Therefore, there is a need for an innovative and timely approach to forecasting in the educational sphere as part of the implementation of the competence aspect in education. Therefore, it is necessary to train future specialists with an orientation to innovation and demand in the current technological order, as well as with demand orientation in specialists in the future technological order.

What can war tell us about empire? Climate of Conquest is built around this question. Pratyay Nath eschews the conventional way of writing about warfare primarily in terms of battles and technologies. Instead, he unravels the deep connections that Mughal war-making shared with the broader dynamics of society, culture, and politics. In the process, he offers a new analysis of the Mughal empire from the vantage point of war. Climate of Conquest closely studies the dynamics of the military campaigns that helped the Mughals conquer North India and project their power beyond it. In the first part, Nath argues that these campaigns unfolded in constant negotiation with the diverse natural environment of South Asia. The empire sought to discipline the environment and harness its resources to satisfy its own military needs. At the same time, environmental factors like climate, terrain, and ecology profoundly influenced Mughal military tactics, strategy, and deployment of technology. In the second part, Nath makes three main points. Firstly, he argues that Mughal military success owed a lot to the efficient management of military logistics and the labour of an enormous non-elite, non-combatant workforce. Secondly, he explores the making of imperial frontiers and highlights the roles of forts, routes, and local alliances in the process. Finally, he maps the cultural climate of war at the Mughal court and discusses how the empire legitimized war and conquest. In the process, what emerges is a fresh interpretation of Mughal empire-building as a highly adaptive, flexible, and accommodative process.
