The organization and implementation of multinational exercises is an important element of NATO's activities. Exercises continue to ensure that Allies are able to meet NATO’s level of ambition, and to demonstrate that capability for deterrence purposes. Implementation of exercises helps to strengthen the bond between participating units, but above all allows you to actually improve procedures and strategies. It is particularly important that thanks to them the appropriate level of interoperability is constantly maintained associated with the pursuit of ever higher effectiveness and efficiency. What plays a special role in the effectiveness of international exercises is the use of logistics, especially for the organization and implementation of displacements and the proper integration of the HNS system. Without it, modern international military logistics - especially in peacetime - is unable to carry out its tasks at the appropriate level. The aim of the article is to identify the concept of multinational exercises implemented under the NATO system, in the context of HNS and international logistics challenges in the field of displacement resulting from the exercise scenario, example ANACONDA-2016. The article is based on the analysis of literature and documents (normative acts dedicated to military and civilian spheres), case studies, and on observation of participants and interviews, and analysis of scientific and specialist publications.
