LOG 220 · Quartermaster and Logistics · Level 200 (Phase Two)
A Royal Army College course in obtaining what the force needs, honestly, lawfully, and with value for money.
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
To hold and sustain stores, a force must first obtain them, and obtaining them means spending the Principality's money. That single fact sets the tone of this whole course. Procurement is not shopping; it is a public trust. Every dollar spent was given for the people of Kaharagia, and the member who buys on the Army's behalf is a steward of that money, answerable for spending it wisely and honestly.
This course teaches how that is done. It covers what procurement is and the principles that govern it, value for money, fairness, integrity, competition, and accountability; how to identify a real need and specify it clearly; how to source and select a supplier fairly; the order-receive-pay cycle and the three-way match that stops fraud; the separation of duties that keeps purchasing honest; the supply administration and records that join a purchase to the stores ledger in an unbroken audit trail; provisioning and demand forecasting, so the right things are bought ahead of need; contracts, terms, and agreements, the written promise that binds a deal; the management of suppliers and their performance through the life of a contract; the disposal, returns, and asset lifecycle that carry accountability to an item's very end; and the ethics and stewardship that are the heart of the work. It is grounded in recognised procurement principles and in plain honesty.
The work touches money, and so it is the most exposed of the logistics tasks. A force whose buying is fair, recorded, and above suspicion keeps the trust of its people; one whose buying is careless or corrupt loses it quickly. This course builds the member who can be trusted with the purse.
Who this course is for
This course is for members of the Quartermaster and Logistics speciality and anyone who will request, approve, or administer purchases or supply records on the Army's behalf. It assumes LOG 201 and benefits from LOG 210.

How this course fits the catalogue
LOG 220 builds on LOG 201 (the stores ledger that a goods-receipt feeds) and LOG 210, and connects to PME 210 · Basic Staff Duties and Written Orders (records and documentation), CIS 220 · Identity, Access, and Records Security (separation of duties), and LDR 420 · Command Responsibility and Ethical Leadership (integrity and stewardship). It is part of the path to the Quartermaster NCO (LOG 310). Prices and budgets throughout are in US dollars.
A note on integrity
This course is, above all, about honesty with money. It teaches the controls, the three-way match, competition, separation of duties, declared conflicts of interest, and audit, that keep purchasing fair and beyond suspicion. The member who buys for the Army spends the Principality's money in trust for its people.
