Summary/Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant influence on all areas of the human society, in many countries of the world, and the defense resources management area is no exception. The purpose of this paper is to explore the challenges generated by the pandemic in the field of DRM, through a comparative analysis of the EU, NATO, Romania and the US. The paper aims to observe the efforts put in by using defense resources in fighting the COVID pandemic, as well as understanding what is the risk of reallocating some of the resources from their original purpose, with a financial recession looming as well for the foreseeable future. While the paper will tend to focus on economic challenges, it will also present all type of resources involved in fighting the pandemic in terms of defense allocation, like logistic, human and information resources as well.
