Factors affecting military logistics readiness of the Islamic Republic of Iran in future hybrid wars

Objective: In Hybrid warfare, logistics plays a fundamental and key role in improving combat readiness and the operational superiority of forces on the battlefield. Therefore, the aim of the current research is to identify the effective factors on improving the logistical readiness of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army in future combined wars.Methodology: Considering that the present research seeks to conceptualize and complete the theoretical foundations of the studied phenomenon, it is exploratory in terms of its purpose, and in terms of methodology, it is qualitative with meta-synthesis method. The statistical population of the research consists of valid qualitative studies published in the field of military logistics preparation from 2010 to 2022.Findings: Based on the data analysis, 5 components including mobilization of integrated resources, expertise in operational planning, stability of the supply chain, mental preparation and operational agility were extracted as effective factors in improving the logistics readiness of AJA in future combined wars.Originality: In combined wars, logistics readiness can be achieved through targeted planning of logistics resources and facilities and the creation of a combined logistics system based on the considerations and indicators of combined warfare, including the improvement of the mental readiness of human capital, integration, speed of action, flexibility and safety in operations. therefore, military logistics readiness requires a paradigm shift and a transition from the classic logistics command to mixed logistic
