Abstract

...The fulfillment of tasks as intended often involves the long stay of troops (forces) outside the points of permanent deployment. Such conditions are characterized by an increase in the physical and psycho-emotional load on servicemen, which, in turn, necessitates an increase in the quality of their nutrition. One of the promising areas for improving the quality of food is associated with the use of refrigeration units for storing stocks of fresh food directly in the field. The article is devoted to the development of the foundations of the methodology for the feasibility study of the feasibility of creating and using field refrigeration units to improve the food supply of troops (forces), which perform tasks as intended in isolation from the points of permanent deployment. Decisions on the expediency of using refrigeration units in the field, along with the technical and tactical characteristics of refrigeration units, are influenced by economic factors, as well as various kinds of risks. The studies carried out made it possible to establish basic parameters that allow us to assess the economic efficiency of using refrigeration units for storing food directly in the base camp and to justify the choice of the best option from among those selected for consideration. The study is based on the method of comparative evaluation of options, which allowed us to limit ourselves to considering those parameters by which the options under consideration differ from each other. A number of these parameters take into account the risks caused by the lower quality of food in the absence of refrigeration units at the field food station and the risks that arise when transporting food from a stationary warehouse to a field warehouse. The calculated ratios obtained can be used as the basis for the tactical, technical and economic substantiation of the corresponding decisions.
