The urgency of conducting the research is due to the fact that, in the wake of the full-scale aggression of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine, one of the urgent problems is the issue of the material support of the army. Based on this, the purpose of the work is to conduct a comparative analysis of the modern policies of Ukraine and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries in providing the armed forces in the material and product aspects. For this, such methods as logical analysis, formal-legal, dogmatic, legal hermeneutics, deductions, and others were used. In the course of the research, it was highlighted that the introduction of NATO standards in the security and defence sector of Ukraine is a difficult task, as post-Soviet principles are currently operating in it. For a successful transition to NATO standards, it is necessary to comprehensively revise and update the legal framework, as well as develop and implement legal acts that will regulate the system of logistical support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It was determined that the foreign experience of providing social guarantees for military personnel shows that such guarantees are an important element of state policy in the field of defence. In NATO countries, social guarantees for servicemen and their family members provide a wide range of benefits and advantages that ensure a proper life and personal development. The practical value of the obtained results lies in the fact that, they will contribute to increasing the efficiency of the use of state resources, improving the system of training military units, and increasing Ukraine’s authority in the international arena.
