The process of implementing logistical security of air borne operations is unique, due to the way in which supplies are delivered to the warring subdivisions and the organization of equipment and logistics elements. Close cooperation of logistics subdivisions is required during the transport of supplies, its preparation on landing tares and subsequent delivery by parachute discharge. The aim of the article is to present the role of a logistic company in the process of implementing logistical support for an airborne battalion in combat. The effect of such a specific objective is to state that the subject of the research is the air borne battalion and its logistics company, while the subject of logistical needs and the way in which they are to be satisfied. The main research problem is to answer the question – what might be the logistical needs of an air borne battalion in combat? Various research methods were used to solve the research problem, among them: observation method, mathematical method. An important component for conclusions generalisation is an analysis of the literature available in the field of tactical activities organisation of logistical security at tactical level. Research hypothesis: It is hypothesized that the organization of the logistics of the air borne battalion in combat is much more complex compared to regular operations.
