LOG 210 · Quartermaster and Logistics · Level 200 (Phase Two)
A Royal Army College course in keeping a force, and the people it helps, supplied in the field.
Course length: 10 hours, studied online and asynchronously at the student's own pace, together with any in-person practical instruction and assessment the course requires.
Foreword
Holding stores well, the work of LOG 201, is only half of logistics. The other half is getting the right supplies to the right people in the field, before they run out, and keeping them coming. A team on a task drinks water, eats rations, burns through batteries and fuel, and uses medical stores at a steady rate, and a humanitarian operation must carry water, shelter, and aid to people in need and distribute it fairly. Both are sustainment, and both are planned from how much is used, not guessed at when the store runs dry.
This course teaches that planning. It covers the sustainment estimate and consumption rates; the resupply and demand cycle, and push and pull resupply; water, rations, and welfare, beginning with the commodity that keeps people alive and effective; power, fuel, and batteries; transport, load planning, and movement; the logistic chain and the echelon system that carries stores forward; maintenance and recovery that keep the equipment running; the evacuation of casualties and the medical resupply behind it; the sanitation and waste a sustained force leaves behind; and, drawing it all together, the sustainment of a humanitarian task, which for this Army is the work itself. It is grounded in recognised logistics practice and, for relief work, in the Sphere humanitarian standards.
A force is sustained or it stops. The team that plans its water, power, and resupply keeps going and keeps helping; the team that does not is brought to a halt by something as simple as an empty bottle or a flat battery. This course builds the member who keeps the force, and its mission of help, moving.
Who this course is for
