Synergizing Logistics Training and Education

Abstract

The training and education of logistics officers is the responsibility of two separate commands: (1) Training Command, Logistics Officer Course, Marine Corps Combat Service Support Schools (MCCSSS), and (2) Education Command, the School of MAGTF Logistics (SOML), Marine Corps University. This division of training and education has made it difficult to synergize the professional development of logisticians with the Corps' evolutionary progress in maneuver warfare and logistics modernization efforts. To harmonize the career education curriculum for logistics officers, their education should be consolidated under one command. Combining the courses under one command will alleviate gaps in the professional development of logistics officers and will enhance their proficiency in planning and executing logistics operations.
