Abstract

This article deals with the logistic transportation in the eastern sector of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). After an invasion of Israeli forces into Lebanon, the UN Security Council, in March 1978, established the United Nations Provisional Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), forcing it to confirm the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon, restore peace and security, helping the Lebanese government to restore its effective authority in the area. The logistic transport function is responsible for all material and personnel handling in the mission area. The methodology was based on a quantitative analysis of the movements performed by the east sector in the years 2017 and 2018. At the end of the work, charts and tables were elaborated to perform the comparative analysis. The results show that there was an increase of 3.26% (48,700 km) in the distance traveled between the years of 2017 and 2018, in view of the tension escalation in the eastern sector of UNIFIL. From the foregoing, it is concluded that the transport logistics activity in the Eastern Sector of UNIFIL has great relevance for the success of the mission, requiring from the logisticians professional competence based on knowledge of the activity, on the ability to operate the logistical means and on the attitude to solve the problems.
