00:04.389 --> 00:06.333
Through the Advanced expeditionary

00:06.333 --> 00:08.278
logistics operations and logistics

00:08.278 --> 00:10.278
intelligence planners courses , the

00:10.278 --> 00:12.500
Marine Corps Logistics Operations Group

00:12.500 --> 00:14.611
provides advanced individual training

00:14.611 --> 00:14.590
to Marine Corps logistics and

00:14.590 --> 00:17.110
intelligence planners alongside joint

00:17.110 --> 00:20.049
sister services , allies , and partners .

00:20.709 --> 00:22.820
What surprised me the most about this

00:22.820 --> 00:24.931
course is how practical it is . A lot

00:24.931 --> 00:24.829
of practical occupation , experiential

00:24.829 --> 00:26.773
learning , a lot of adult learning

00:26.773 --> 00:28.996
focused mentality . Uh , we do a lot of

00:28.996 --> 00:31.162
the pre-reads and then we come in , we

00:31.162 --> 00:31.030
do prac app , and we really get to

00:31.030 --> 00:32.919
experience what it's like to be a

00:32.919 --> 00:34.974
logistics officer in the fleet . The

00:34.974 --> 00:36.808
advanced expeditionary logistics

00:36.808 --> 00:38.919
operations and logistics intelligence

00:38.919 --> 00:41.141
planners courses run concurrently , are

00:41.141 --> 00:43.030
mutually supportive , and trained

00:43.030 --> 00:44.863
planners to think critically and

00:44.863 --> 00:47.030
adaptively , mastering the integration

00:47.030 --> 00:49.086
of logistics and intelligence in the

00:49.086 --> 00:50.974
support of the current and future

00:50.974 --> 00:53.197
expeditionary operations . Working with

00:53.197 --> 00:55.363
them , what I realized is the level of

00:55.363 --> 00:57.474
detail that they need and some minute

00:57.474 --> 00:57.020
things that you don't really think

00:57.020 --> 00:59.104
about and a lot of times gets . Hand

00:59.104 --> 01:01.384
waved , so constantly refining the

01:01.384 --> 01:03.584
logistics network analysis , your step

01:03.584 --> 01:05.904
2 products , things of that nature to

01:05.904 --> 01:07.848
provide them with the nitty gritty

01:07.848 --> 01:09.848
detail to answer questions that are

01:09.848 --> 01:11.848
either going to make or break their

01:11.848 --> 01:14.015
course of action during this intensive

01:14.015 --> 01:16.182
4 week course , participants engage in

01:16.182 --> 01:18.182
rigorous coursework focused on unit

01:18.182 --> 01:20.460
training management , force generation ,

01:20.460 --> 01:22.626
and leveraging capabilities within the

01:22.626 --> 01:24.940
joint logistics enterprise . Act log is

01:24.940 --> 01:27.051
of course that you need to truly dive

01:27.051 --> 01:29.260
in and take seriously . This is not

01:29.260 --> 01:31.260
just a walk in the park , but it is

01:31.260 --> 01:33.800
something that absolutely enables all

01:34.019 --> 01:36.260
aspects of logistics . Additionally ,

01:36.589 --> 01:38.589
students participate in operational

01:38.589 --> 01:40.533
planning teams centered around two

01:40.533 --> 01:42.533
highly realistic scenarios based in

01:42.533 --> 01:44.811
both the Pacific and European theaters .

01:44.819 --> 01:46.930
These scenarios challenge students to

01:46.930 --> 01:49.097
plan at the operational . Level of war

01:49.097 --> 01:51.097
incorporating cutting edge concepts

01:51.097 --> 01:53.208
such as unmanned systems , electronic

01:53.208 --> 01:55.152
warfare signature management , and

01:55.152 --> 01:57.375
leveraging the information advantage at

01:57.375 --> 02:00.036
Axlock , we've recently revamped the

02:00.036 --> 02:02.092
program of instruction to expose the

02:02.092 --> 02:04.258
students to a wide variety of topics .

02:04.258 --> 02:06.875
So there's some general education

02:06.875 --> 02:08.955
starting from forced generation and

02:08.955 --> 02:11.195
helping them understand what strategic

02:11.195 --> 02:13.251
and national . Level processes shape

02:13.251 --> 02:15.473
logistics readiness all the way down to

02:15.473 --> 02:17.891
joint host nation multinational

02:17.891 --> 02:19.972
capabilities and resources that they

02:19.972 --> 02:22.028
can be expected to tap into . So the

02:22.028 --> 02:24.891
ultimate desired result here is that we

02:24.891 --> 02:26.947
send these Marines back to the fleet

02:26.947 --> 02:29.058
having been exposed to a wide variety

02:29.058 --> 02:32.352
of resources , capabilities , and then

02:32.352 --> 02:34.463
situations that they can expect to be

02:34.463 --> 02:36.685
exposed to in the fleet . By the end of

02:36.685 --> 02:38.463
the course , students will have

02:38.463 --> 02:40.463
developed the expertise to properly

02:40.463 --> 02:42.519
synergize logistics and intelligence

02:42.519 --> 02:44.463
aimed at gaining an advantage over

02:44.463 --> 02:46.185
potential adversaries who pose

02:46.185 --> 02:48.296
increasing challenges . Professionals

02:48.296 --> 02:50.419
talk logistics . If we can't get the

02:50.419 --> 02:52.940
logistics right , it's just not going

02:52.940 --> 02:55.107
to happen , and that's why you're here

02:55.107 --> 02:55.179
today .
