Sumario:The objective of this article is to carry out a process of characterization, evaluation, analysis and diagnosis of the responsiveness of the Marine Infantry Mobility Battalion N° 1 in front of the occurrence of a natural catastrophe, as well as the proposal of a strategic-logistical plan that seeks to improve these capabilities to be applied under the concept of the supply chain in humanitarian aid operations. As a result of this research, some weaknesses were detected at the inside the organization in terms of its responsiveness; likewise, it was found that the concept of the supply chain is applicable to the Unit under a Humanitarian Logistics approach that allows it to exploit its capabilities and perform a more important and influential role at a national and international level.
