Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a point of view regarding the stages of the specific activities evolution of the maintenance management and execution structures during the transformations of the land forces from NATO member states. The structural and conceptual changes of the land forces following the enlargement of the Alliance after the end of the Cold War influenced fundamentally both the use of the military equipments and the service and maintenance system necessary to obtain an assumed level of availability. The technological evolution that characterized the period of transformations of the land forces after 90s, and the wide range of military actions involving the land forces represented the development factors of some modern weapons systems and of some progressive concepts of maintenance and repair. All these requested operators, and especially maintenance structures, to significantly increase the level of specialization, to introduce modern techniques for monitoring the equipment operation and implement new concepts for the service and maintenance activities.
