This study investigates the concept of national responsibility as
it relates to providing logistics to nations participating in
coalition operations. This concept is the cornerstone of current
NATO logistics doctrine. However, recent NATO peacekeeping and
offensive peace enforcement operations in the former Yugoslavia
challenged the validity of national responsibility as the
preeminent logistical principle to sustain and maintain
multinational forces in the military operations. To gain insight
into current multinational logistics doctrine, this study provides
a historical view of the manner in which logistics was provided
during World War II, the Korean War, and in Operation Uphold
Democracy in Haiti. These operations provided classic examples of
total war, limited war, and operations other than war respectively.
The study further reveals that the challenges associated with
providing logistics for multinational forces, despite the type of
military operation, were similar. In all of these historical
examples, the nations with the greatest logistical capability
provided that majority of the logistical support for the
participating coalition forces. The problems associated with
different terminology, cultures, traditions and religions were
present each of the coalition operations examined. Lastly this
study offers recommendations for military logisticians of both the
US and its allies for consideration in future operations.
