This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to plan logistics support for deployed operations.

It includes analysing logistics requirements, analysing risks to logistics support and developing logistics plans.

This unit of competency is applicable to logistics personnel who have a responsibility to organise the delivery of logistics support in a deployed context. This person will typically plan logistics support for relatively simple operations. This type of operation would enable planning to be completed by an individual as opposed to a significant operation where planning is usually completed by a team of professionals, and operational control is at the highest level of the organisation.

This role requires planning, management and coordination skills.

Logistics support may comprise a range of capabilities from different disciplines including air, road, sea and rail transport, supply, maintenance support, catering or health.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
