Military operations in unstable regions face complex logistical challenges that demand resilient systems capable of sustaining operational continuity under conditions of disruption. This study conducts a systematic review of scientific literature published between 2000 and 2024 focused on the design of resilient logistics systems for deployed forces. Through qualitative analysis of sources indexed in Scopus and Web of Science, four essential pillars are identified: modularity, redundancy, interoperability and adaptability, which make up a flexible and robust logistics architecture. In addition, emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, predictive modeling and autonomous vehicles are highlighted, along with the need for multinational cooperation and shared logistics doctrines. The study concludes that only a strategic integration of technical, technological and organizational elements can ensure logistics resilience in high uncertainty environments, increasing the operational sustainability and security of military missions.
