The course objective is to provide a dynamic, group-based, facilitated learning environment oriented toward further developing logistics competencies required by the life cycle logistician during weapons and equipment systems development. The course challenges the professional to think critically, differentiate support alternatives, and provide solutions to ensure the early integration of operational supportability into the system development process. These skills are refined by instructor-facilitated group exercises and discussions. Special emphasis is placed on developing and delivering the required logistics inputs that ensure supportability is designed into a system.
