The aim of the article is to present Polish structures of NHS Points of Contact as an example of national Point of Contact structures which carry out HNS tasks under the obligations resulting from NATO membership. Successful conduct of logistical tasks demands transfers of information between Points of Contact, which can be temporary or permanent and belong to the armed forces or non-military organisations. They determine the type, direction, time, and size of physical and personnel flows performed within the scope of the Host Nation tasks. Their correct functioning and cooperation, especially in the formal and legal areas, plays a key role in the accomplishment of tasks and set goals.The article is based on analysis of formal and legal documents and normative acts dedicated to the military and civilian spheres, and of data gathered in research carried out in the national HNS structures.
