Summary/Abstract: NATO and its member states are on the edge of a new transformation generated by the already configured New Strategic Concept, as well as due to the engagement in the challenging operations of this millennium, such as ISAF. Based on some hypotheses, such as: NATO will stay more than 10 years in Afghanistan or the models launched by the operations in Iraq or Afghanistan cannot be universal etc., we can draw the main tendencies regarding the evolutions in the area of the logistic support for the future conflicts, envisaging the next 10-15 years. These directions mainly refer to a more efficient logistic support, based on more flexible forces (deployable, predictive, adaptive and responsive), a suitable relation military/contractor, and a new philosophy in so far as the costs are concerned.
