Logistics Officer

Logistics Officer

A Logistics Officer, known in the past as a Supply Officer, is a member of an armed force responsible for overseeing the supplying of an army, both at home and abroad. Logistics Officers can be stationary on military bases or deployed as an active part of a field army, air wing, or naval force. The responsibilities of Logistics Officers vary, depending on where they are deployed and what tasks they are assigned. In addition, different countries, have different roles for Logistics Officers. The main role of these officers remains the same regardless of where they are stationed; to ensure that the fighting force is supplied with enough food, water, fuel and ammunition to complete the task at hand.

Canada

In Canada, a Logistics Officer is a commissioned officer position. Logistics Officers focus in one of five areas: Supply Chain Management, Transportation, Human Resource Management, Finance, and Food Services. [ [http://www.forces.ca/v3/engraph/jobs/jobs.aspx?id=78&bhcp=1 Jobs - Logistics (Officer) ] ] Canada has integrated its armed forces and as such, the duties of logistics officers are similar, regardless of which branch they serve in.

United States

In the United States, the work of the logistics officer includes providing operational logistical support and managing the overall logistic processes in support of mission objectives; leveraging existing networks and expanding others; anticipating mission needs and operational requirements and offering alternatives and advice; and evaluating, redesigning and implementing logistics processes for mission support.

United Kingdom

In the United Kingdom, a Logistics Officer in the Royal Air Force is colloquially known as a 'Stacker' (which is an abbreviation of either 'Blanket Stacker' or 'Duvet Stacker'). This is a reference to the traditionally-held perception of the role of the Logistics Officer from the point of view of an Engineering Officer.
