Operational-Level Logistics Education

Abstract

To prepare for operational-level logistics (OpLog) billets, Marine Corps logistics officers require advanced education associated with tools requisite in alternate frameworks that can assist operational-level logisticians in solving complex problems within dynamic systems. This study examines Marine Corps education and learning, operational-level logisticians' roles and responsibilities, and the future operating environment, then analyzes business and industry logistics education. This study identifies Scrum and Program Management as non-military alternate frameworks to develop OpLog concepts of logistics support in the complex and uncertain environments as described in our future force concepts.
