Abstract

Background: Military logistics has been present from the moment a soldier was created, and its evolution has been influenced by the technology used. Indeed, it has been observed over time that every military revolution was intrinsically caused by a military logistics revolution, directly promoted by the technology applied to the manner of making war. Few papers have been written about military logistics in relation to the development of war itself. Its application was conceptualized in two dimensions: as an art and as a science, interdependent on decision-making. With the evolution of human beings, the way of making war also evolved and therefore a transformation was generated. This makes it necessary to deepen the application of mathematical modeling, statistics, and new technologies in military logistics, promoting the application of concepts based on technology to improve the effectiveness of armies. The aim of this paper is to review the evolution of military logistics. Methods: A systematic approach to the literature review is followed. The backgrounds of the military logistics thought, key authors, trends and a new definition of military logistics is presented, among others. Results: The findings allow us to identify a set of 21 definitions of military logistics since 1792.

军事后勤的演变

背景：军事后勤从一名士兵诞生的那一刻起就已经存在，其演变受到所用技术的影响。事实上，随着时间的推移，人们已经观察到，每一场军事革命本质上都是由军事后勤革命引起的，而这场革命是由应用于战争方式的技术直接推动的。很少有关于军事后勤与战争本身发展关系的论文。它的应用被概念化为两个维度：作为一门艺术和一门科学，与决策相互依存。随着人类的进化，战争的方式也在进化，因此产生了一种转变。这就需要深化数学建模、统计学和新技术在军事后勤中的应用，促进基于技术的概念的应用，以提高军队的效能。本文的目的是回顾军事后勤的演变。方法：采用系统的方法进行文献综述。介绍了军事后勤思想产生的背景、主要作者、发展趋势以及军事后勤的新定义。结果：这些发现使我们能够确定自1792年以来军事后勤的21个定义。
