Summary/Abstract: In the author’s opinion, the achievement of an integrated distribution-based system is the goal of the Romanian Armed Forces logistics transformation process. This new system will comprise a complex of policies, doctrines and innovative concepts, remodelled functional logistics principles, new logistic structures, a new digitised command and control system that will represent the basis for the information and decision-making process and, last but not least, logisticians, highly specialised military men and civilians that have a new mindset and are able to manage the complex aggregate of specific activities in the entire logistic system. The author points out that the new system has to be lean and flexible, compatible and interoperable with similar NATO structures and to provide the fighting forces with the necessary support and liberty of action during the readiness period and the participation in the full range of operations.
