Combined Logistics Officers Advanced Course (CLOAC): Leader Development for Future Ordnance Strategic Leaders.

Abstract

Formal training is one of the methods for development of strategic leaders. The development of strategic Ordnance leaders is rooted initially with an officer first becoming competent as a leader and knowledgeable in their technical skills. The Advanced Course phase of the current Professional Military Education implemented by the Army is for captains. These captains receive training necessary to be successful in company command. The Combined Logistics Officer Advanced Course (CLOAC) for logisticians adds an additional requirement to prepare them for assignments as multi functional staff officers at the battalion/brigade level. Army budget reductions have also an effect upon the CLOAC program. The impact of these reductions is difficult to determine as concurrent to these reductions training methodologies have been implemented for more efficient, but not necessarily more effective training. The short implementation period inhibits a thorough analysis of the program for developing future Strategic logistics leaders.
