ABSTRACT
This paper examines the military supply chains during the Covid-19 pandemic especially as viewed from the perspective of food purchase and delivery processes. Specifically, the objective is to identify the conditions necessary to ascertain the continuity of fresh food supplies and against this backdrop to develop a model of supplying military units with fresh food under conditions of emergency, e.g. a pandemic. The research methods employed included qualitative methods, such as mapping the processes related to the supply of fresh food to military units on a selected case, observation, expert interviews and analysis of literature and documents. As a result of the research, key areas of the supply process exposed to continuity disturbances and their determinants were identified. The conclusions relate to the possibility of improving activities in the field of supplier relationship management, taking into account the specificity of civil-military cooperation. The article concerns civil-military cooperation and disruptions in specific circumstances of the initial phase of a pandemic crisis. It is argued that there is a need for flexible, adaptive shaping of relations in terms of readiness to implement changes in food supplies in crisis situations. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
