Logistic Support

One of the main directions of logistic support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is medical support which is aimed at life safeguard and health of military personnel, well-timed and efficient provision of medical care in the event of injuries, injuries and diseases, fast renewal of combat power and ability to work in different conditions of its handling and at different period of time. The readiness of medical service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the medical support of the troops depends on the well-timed organization of medical supplies and the refilling of medical supplies full and complete. The qualitative and efficient allocation of medical equipment and medical supplies is a determining factor in this process. The aim of the work – reasoning of the irregularity of distribution logistics in the unified logistic system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the study of the main aspects of management of the distribution of medical supplies from the position of military pharmaceutical logistics. To get the purpose of the research, the analysis of domestic scientific sources and the current normative and legal base of Ukraine have been carried out. Research methods are: information search, comparison, systemization, semantic analysis, synthesis and modeling. In the conditions of logistic support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other components of the security and defense forces of Ukraine, the logistic function of the distribution of logistical equipment, inventory, military equipment and services (food, bath and laundry services, etc.) should ensure the activity of troops (forces) in peacetime and war time. It is the guarantee of the ability to ensure the defense of the state and appropriate response to military threats to the national security of Ukraine, efficiently using available potential and resources. Distribution logistics from the position of military pharmaceutical logistics is the management of all functional subsystems of the medical supplies and health services of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine in order to optimize the distribution of the material flow (purchased medical supplies) from the supplier to the final consumer (according to the applications of the Military Medical Clinical Centers of the Regions). Same, distributive logistics in the structure of a unified logistic support system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine does not carry a commercial component, and its functions consist in planning, organization of distribution, control and regulation of the logistic process of distribution of material and technical means (including medical equipment and supplies), inventory, military equipment, services (catering, bath and laundry service, etc.). According to the authors, the term «marketing logistics» is not possible to use as a single system of logistic support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and in its subsystems. To sum it up, it was suggested to use the term «distributive logistics». On the basis of theoretical generalization of the data of scientific literature and normative legal acts, the main aspects of management of the distribution of medical equipment and supplies from the standpoint of military pharmaceutical logistics are studied. The functions of distributive logistics are defined, the model of the current logistic chain of distribution of medical equipment and supplies in the medical service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is constructed. It is noted that in order to ensure the qualitative and efficient distribution of medical equipment and supplies, a regulatory and legal framework which regulates the division of powers between institutions and units of medical supplies and defines the responsibility for their implementation in the current conditions of the reformation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Armed Forces (AF) health care system of Ukraine today requires further improvement and development in the direction of unification and interoperability with the medical services ofNATO member countries. One of the important tasks facing the medical service of the Armed Forces ofUkraine, according to the Main Provisions of Logistics Provision of the Armed Forces ofUkraine, is the creation of a single effective system of resource management. The effectiveness of such a system is determined by the quality and reliability of the information used to control the flow processes. The aim of the work–а study of the singularities of the medical support of the troops in the integrated information network of logistic support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. To achieve the purpose of the research, the analysis of the domestic and foreign scientific literature, the current regulatory framework of Ukraine was conducted. Research methods are: information search, contrast, arrangement and modeling. While conducting a study of the existing integrated information network of logistics support for military units and units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine it was found that this is one of the largest and most complex nodes. It was found that each node of the logistic information network is connected to other nodes of the transverse and longitudinal canals. The transverse canals connect the nodes inside the echelon, and the longitudinal canals connect the nodes between the echelons. Thus, the information network is a hierarchical network. It has been determined that the set of logistic support nodes is divided into three groups according to the research of foreign military scientists can be called: executives, operators and consumers. It is established that according to the current legislation in the information network of logistic support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Main Military Medical Directorate, as a body managing the medical service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, is on par with the Main Logistics Department of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. A study was conducted to study the peculiarities of the medical provision of troops in the integrated information network of logistical support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. On the basis of theoretical generalization of data of scientific literature and normative-legal acts, the model of the current information network of logistical support of military units and units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was constructed. The necessity to develop national decision support software in military logistics for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is identified.

The results of the research published in the article will be useful for logistics specialists who are engaged in the organization of the provision of resources (material and technical means) for the processes of operation and renewal of armament and military equipment (AME). The article discusses existing approaches to logistic support of operations (combat actions) and methodological approaches to assess the effectiveness of its operation. The influence of factors and problematic issues on the creation of a modern logistics system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is analyzed. The scientific substantiation of determination of indicators of efficiency of delivery of resources in the system of logistic support is offered with the purpose of improvement of functioning of the system of delivery of resources for further consideration during planning of activity. According to the results of the analysis, the urgency of making a quick and correct decision in managing the provision of necessary resources was determined. The dependence of resource efficiency on the type of resources, the intensity of applications for their use, and the capabilities of the system to create and replenish resources have been established. The basic concepts and typical structures of the resource delivery system for working out of the research materials are clarified. Based on the analysis, it was found that the evaluation of the efficiency of the system of maintenance of the processes of operation and restoration of AME resources should be carried out by the results of the evaluation of the efficiency of providing the resources of each type individually and further determination of the system performance indicators as a whole, taking into account the corresponding total costs for providing the resources, which allowed to offer methodological an approach to assessing the effectiveness of operating processes and the renewal of AME resources themselves, which allows to take into account the implemented strategy of replenishment of resources and rationality of the selected transport network in the conditions of both peacetime and fighting.On the basis of the proposed methodological approach, the directions of further researches were determined concerning: determination of the list of initial data for determining the characteristics of the routes of resource delivery; determining the number of characteristics that are being optimized; forming a methodological approach for determining a rational transport network in the logistics system.

Аbstract. The current regulatory framework of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on the regulation of the provision of medical assistance to military personnel affected by the infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is considered. The state of the problem of information support for the provision of medical care to military personnel of this category is assessed. The developed methodology and the draft regulatory document for organizing the collection of medical information in the register of military personnel affected by the infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus are presented, and a regulation on this register is developed. The content, scope and algorithm of creating an information-analytical system for registering this pathology among military personnel, as well as the need to introduce new medical document management technologies into the medical service of the Armed Forces of Russia based on personified records of military personnel and the medical and psychological assistance provided to them, are substantiated. It is shown that for the smooth functioning of the register within the framework of a justified list of tasks, the presence of high-speed secure communication channels between the participating military units, institutions and medical service management bodies will be required. Consequently, the improvement of the information support system for managing the medical support of troops in peacetime and wartime is an important component of increasing the effectiveness of managing medical support for military.

Great Patriotic War

The paper addresses the contribution of the Naval Air Force and its medical service to the victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. Organizational and staff structure, medical support of combat operations, the dynamics, level and structure of operational attrition and non-battle sanitary losses of the Naval Air Force air and ground crews are studied by categories and by the periods of the war, including the major operations, separately for each fleet. Detailed analysis of the experience of search and rescue operations and aeromedical evacuation as specific components of the medical service of the Naval Air Force is presented. The management procedures of medical supplies and recreation of the air crews to prevent their exhaustion are studied. For instance, since it was impossible to provide professional and specialized medical aid to the wounded from the fleet air force units, it had to be provided at the naval and combined-arms levels of medical evacuation. Only a small number of air base infirmaries were staffed by qualified surgeons. Difficulties in organizing the medical supplies were caused by frequent movements of air force units, often in the closest vicinity to the enemy; and also, by the lack of special unified medical packs. Based on the experience of medical support for search and rescue operations, the most effective search and rescue of flight personnel was organized using water-planes. During the war, naval aviation pilots evacuated thousands of wounded people to the rear of the country. The specifics of the fleet aviation missions characterize the structure of sanitary losses and their ratio to the irretrievable losses of flying personnel during the four years of the war. Due to a significant combat load on the pilots, the command was obliged to organize their rehabilitation in the form of short-term vacation at adapted recreation centers. Based on the information available from literature and archive sources, the successful experience and faults in the medical support of the combat missions of the Air Force as the striking component of the Navy during the Great Patriotic War are analyzed, and respective detailed conclusions are made.

Relevance. Currently, the solution to the problem of medical support for troops (forces) and the population during the liquidation of the health consequences of emergencies by forces and means of the medical service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation does not lose its relevance.Intention. The system-morphological method to create a multidimensional morphological matrix with the corresponding morphological features and develop solutions to the problem of medical support in responding to the health consequences of emergencies.Methodology. The methodology of system-morphological analysis is presented, which allows creating alternative solutions. Variants of medical support for troops (forces) and the population were developed during the liquidation of the health consequences of emergency situations of a natural, technogenic and social nature: “Departmental”, “Interdepartmental”, “International”. In relation to each option, 9 indicators (criteria) are proposed: normative legal regulation; system controllability; complexity of organizing the system; resource (material) cost; staffing; the adequacy of medical care; efficiency; experience and innovation; autonomy of action. To achieve the goal of the study, the original MPRIORITY 1.0 dialog system (MY PRIORITY) was used which implements a method for analyzing hierarchies through repetitions (iterations).Results and Discussion. The results characterize each of the considered alternative options with an appropriate weight priority, and their preference is determined. During the first iteration, priorities were identified for a system of indicators and criteria that are characteristic for achieving a result with an emphasis on normative legal regulation of activities with its organizational structure and management system. In the second one, the priorities for the system of indicators and criteria were changed with a focus on the organization of medical care with the existing system of material and technical support, medical supply, as well as the proper level of training of medical personnel.Conclusion Proposals have been developed for the medical service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, in particular for the Service for Disaster Medicine of the Ministry of Defense of Russia, on the organization of a medical support system for troops (forces) and the population during mitigation of the health consequences of emergencies.

AbstractOptimal, initial medical care given at the disaster site to victims of civil disasters requires an organized, pre-planned, disaster-site medical support system. Such a system has been developed in Singapore.On notification of a serious civil disaster, the Coordinating Health Agency (CHA) initially dispatches up to three medical teams. Each team consists of two doctors, four nurses, and an allotment of pre-packaged medical supplies. A Disaster-site Medical Command (DSMC) head-quarters (HQ) is established, consisting of a Medical Commander (MC), a Deputy Medical Commander (Dy MC), three hospital staff, and a clerk. The MC conducts an initial assessment of the disaster site and then deploys medical teams and establishes the headquarters. The MC also informs the CHA (via cellular telephone) of the situation at the disaster site and when deemed necessary requests further medical assistance.The MC has two-way radio contact with all medical teams. The medical teams relay information regarding the casualty situation, requirements for ambulances, stretchers, and medical supplies. Direct channel communication with the CHA enables the MC to direct ambulance transport of patients from the disaster site. The MC also has operational control over other paramedical teams from the Fire Service, the Singapore Red Cross, and the Singapore Armed Forces. Prior to transportation to the hospital, the medical teams only carry out trauma resuscitative procedures such as maintenance of airway, ventilation, and circulation.This system is expected to provide a coordinated and rapid medical response to a civil disaster situation.
