Also the specifics of customers - which are various types of military units, and consumers - in the form of soldiers performing tasks in different conditions, significantly affects the military logistics system. Both acquired products and their suppliers must meet these requirements and meet the expectations of customers by creating specific logistics chains. Food supplies intended to meet the needs of the Polish Armed Forces must meet specific requirements. They are determined by the competent authorities as regards the production process, rules for receipt, transport, storage, shelf life, etc. The authorities responsible for the activities of the food service at all levels of the Polish Armed Forces are required to maintain specific stocks of food supplies, their storage as well as to plan and execute deliveries to the supplied military units. All this affects the creation of specific conditions for the functioning of logistics chains in this area. The purpose of the article is to present conditions related to the logistic supply of food products to military units, implemented as part of the military logistics system of the General Tadeusz Kościuszko Military University of Land Forces (MULF). Military University of Land Forces, despite being a university, is also a structural element of the Polish Armed Forces.
