Abstract: The article briefly explains the concepts of modeling and simulation. It gives examples of the use of modeling and simulation in civil logistics - simulation of a beer can production line and also in military logistics - simulation of deployment process of military unit. It also describes the differences between civil and military logistics and the advantages of using modeling and simulation. The use of Simio software for supply chain modeling and simulation is illustrated with a model example. The result is a description of the outputs from the simulation software and the selection of the best option based on the given criteria. The topic of modeling and simulation, especially in the military domain, deserves deeper exploration and the use of complex models to capture real-world situations, which can be used to improve logistic processes not only during military operations but also during peacetime.
