The purpose of this study was to examine the role of transportation in logistics performance.rnEffective logistics management has different core functions in military activities, these are:rndeployment and distribution, supply, maintenance, operational contract support (OCS),rnengineering, and health services (HS). By considering this fact and central role of transportationrnat every military logistics activity, the researcher performed the study by identifying roles ofrntransportation in logistics performance dimensions (logistics differentiation, effectiveness andrnefficiency); and to see the relationship between transportation and logistics performance.rnExplanatory research design was employed with mixed method. A total of 114 questionnairesrnwere distributed to respondents; 104 were returned and refined for analysis. Interview questionsrnwere prepared for logistic sub unit head, transport heads, warehouse keepers, and purchasingrnand supply head of the military academy. The role of transportation was analyzed usingrndescriptive statistics like mean and standard deviation. As per the result weakness observed inrnareas of service cost efficiency, the overall quality of transportation, transportation cost andrnsome human and non human factors affecting performance of transportation is identified. Thernrelationships proposed in the framework were tested using Pearson correlation, and the causalrnrelations were analyzed using regression analysis. From the result of the analysis, it isrnconcluded that there is strong causal relationship between role of transportation and logisticsrnperformance. From the finding, it was recommended that, increase transportation performancern(by providing safe and secure movement of personals and materials, fast travel time andrnfinical/economical management) is better for the military academy to improve the logisticsrnperformance. Because most of logistics function is transportation dependent
