IMPACT OF MILITARY TRANSPORT ON CONSUMER LOGISTICS EFFICIENCY

IN THE 1ST INFANTRY DIVISION

BACKGROUND OF THE PROBLEM

In terms of transportation, supply chain management, and logistics planning,

military logistics systems and transport infrastructure can be a significant help to the

civilian sector. The capability of military transport infrastructure to efficiently handle

massive quantities of supplies and equipment is one of its main benefits (Liu, 2020).

This implies that it is possible to use military logistics systems to support the

transportation of supplies and goods for the civilian sector. Military planes can be used

to bring urgent supplies to places afflicted by natural disasters or other catastrophes,

while military trucks can be used to convey commodities to hard-to-reach isolated

locations. (Chen,2015).

The effectiveness of civilian logistics operations can be increased by utilizing

military logistical experience. Best practices in inventory management, supply chain

management, and transportation planning can be shared with the civilian sector by the

1st Infantry Division of the Philippine Army. This can lower expenses and increase the

effectiveness of logistics operations. Military transport infrastructure, on the other hand,

should be kept in mind as it is primarily intended to assist military activities and might

not always be accessible or suitable for civilian use. Therefore, it is crucial to carefully

assess whether using military transport infrastructure for civilian logistics objectives is

both feasible and cost-effective.

RESEARCH PROBLEM

The Philippines faces significant logistical challenges, particularly in remote and

disaster-prone areas, which affect the delivery of goods and supplies to consumers. The

traditional transport infrastructure in these areas is often limited or non-existent, making

it difficult for businesses and organizations to operate efficiently. The 1st Infantry

Division of the Philippine Army has a well-established military transport infrastructure

and logistics system, which can potentially be leveraged to support civilian logistics

operations and improve consumer logistics efficiency.

PROBLEM STATEMENT:

1.What is the potential impact of military transport infrastructure on consumer logistics

efficiency in the 1st Infantry Division, Philippine Army

2. how can this infrastructure be leveraged to improve the delivery of goods and

supplies to consumers in remote and disaster-prone areas?

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

1. To determine the current state of military transport infrastructure and logistics

systems in the 1st Infantry Division, Philippine Army.

logistics operations, specifically in the delivery of goods and supplies to consumers in

remote and disaster-prone areas.

3. To determine the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of using military transport

infrastructure for civilian logistics purposes.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

It will provide insights on how military transportation systems might be used for

civilian logistics operations, particularly in remote and disaster-prone regions where

there is little to no regular transportation infrastructure. As a result, consumers will

receive goods and supplies more efficiently and effectively, which is essential for both

economic growth and disaster relief.

The study will advance knowledge and comprehension of the Philippine Army's

1st Infantry Division's current logistical and transportation infrastructure. The

administration and effectiveness of military logistics operations will be improved with the

help of this data, which could ultimately help both military and civilian logistical

operations.

SCOPE & LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

The scope of the study on the impact of military transport on consumer logistics

efficiency in the 1st Infantry Division, Philippine Army will focus on the Military transport

infrastructure and logistics systems within the 1st Infantry Division, Philippine Army. The
impact of military transport on consumer logistics efficiency in remote and disaster-

prone areas within the 1st Infantry Division's jurisdiction. The potential use of military

transport infrastructure and logistics systems for civilian logistics operations.

RESEARCH PLAN

This study will employ quantitative research methods such as surveys and data

analysis. This data will be obtained through surveys including military and civilian

logistics operations, consumers in remote and disaster-prone areas, and relevant

stakeholders.
