The formation of a regular army, the increase in the scale of hostilities, as well as the emergence of new methods of conducting them, became the impetus for the formation of special full-time units, units and institutions, whose task is to centrally provide troops separately by birth. Thus, state warehouses appeared, from which the regular army and navy of Russia were supplied at the state level. The experience of combat operations made a significant contribution to the development of the logistics support system. The system has been extensively improved. Soon the military command created a unified commissary service, developed new methods of transporting materiel from warehouses to military formations.
