From Aviation Supply and Maintenance Officers to Aviation Logisticians

Abstract

Logistics means having the right thing, at the right place, at the right time!1 This definition does not specify a difference between aviation and ground logistics. Marine Corps ground logistics and aviation logistics both work to ensure Marines have assets they need when they need them. The Marine Corps aviation logistics field's officer corps is divided into two separate military occupational specialties (MOS) aviation supply officers (6602) and aviation maintenance officers (6002). These officers hold separate titles and billets but essentially are focused on the same tasks: aircraft readiness and supporting the war fighter. The United States Marine Corps should combine the unrestricted aviation supply and aviation maintenance officer fields into the single aviation logistics field in order to provide combatant commanders a diversified aviation logistics community, a more flexible personnel force, and more experienced senior leadership.
