This work was developed in the context of an onshore pipeline construction. Through a bibliography research, it looked forward to adapt the logistics practices that are used in military operations (expeditionary logistics) to the activities of the construction and assembly of a pipeline. Nowadays there is no integrated planning process for logistics activities for works of this nature. First of all, the activities, equipments, materials and labor that are used in the pipeline construction will be presented. Next, its problems and logistics peculiarities will be discussed, where some aspects can be stand out like the permanent dislocation of machines, equipments, heavy vehicles, people, accommodation, food and energy, to places without access infrastructure; and the supply of materials used in the construction, subsistence goods, medicine, labor and fuel for the heavy vehicles, across the pipeline way, during all the construction. Logistics characteristics of a military operation will be studied, principally when it talk about transportation and supply, opening access roads in closed forests, river transportation, subsistence of the troops, logistic of health, dislocation of equipment and support vehicles. So, it is intended to propose the use of some logistics expeditionary practices in the activities of construction and assembly of an onshore pipeline, in order to obtain a more productive and leaner structure.
