This week’s debate. What is a professional logistician? Rank, experience, qualifications, accreditation, skills, etc? @thinkdefence @wavellroom @LogisticThinker @RAF_Logistics @UKArmyLogistics @RoyalNavy Logs.

If you could add a fifth D to the logistic estimate (distance, duration, destination, and demand), what would it be and why? @RAF_Logistics, @thinkdefence @wavellroom @UKArmyLogistics @uk

3/3… from Ghana and Kuwait get their final course interviews today pack up their rooms, we begin to reflect on the friendships built, similar problems we face, and the myriad of ways we have each taken to solve them. We wish you the very best in the future and stay in contact.

2/3 (pun intended) with a focus on a new 4Ds. Thank you Worthy Down Officers’ mess and @DCLPA_HQ for hosting the Defence Attaché dinner, @RomanBathsBath for tour of the Dip, and @royalcrescent for the amazing afternoon tea (delicious food and darjeeling tea). as the students…

1/2 the final week of the International Logistic Officers’ Course has been an intense combat estimate exercise. Focusing on the 4Ds (Duration, Destination, Demand and Distance) in a joint international environment. For the course wash up, what better place for it than in Bath…

From there they visited and spoke to all ranks in 60 Sqn 4 RLC, as they were establishing their SHQ before moving on to conduct further Ex serials. A really useful experience for the Tp Comds, many of whom are soon due to deploy on Ex and Ops themselves in the Fd Army.

This week, the RLC Tp Comds Cse have visited 4 Regt RLC on Ex IRON CYCLONE. Here they received briefs from CO @4regimentRLC and others in the RHQ, who were deployed as a higher formation for the exercising Sqn.

Today the @DSLAWorthy_Down International Logistics Officers’ course got to visit the home of the @BritishArmy Officer, @RMASandhurst, and receive a tour by the @RMASTrust. Tomorrow and for the rest of the week it is logistic planning time! Prepare the Four Ds.

The International Logistics Officers’ Cse concluded their week by visiting the Logistics Commodities & Services Transformation Programme at the Defence Fulfilment Centre (@TVSSCS, @Kuehne_Nagel, @LeidosInc) and a cultural visit to Chelsea (@RHChelsea & @ChelseaFC). thank you all!

@CO_FSTW and @Def_Chef_School were kind enough to offer an insight into their amazing culinary skills with a VIP buffet lunch.

@DSLAWorthy_Down International Logistics Officers’ Cse have been classroom bound with briefs from CO @13AAssltSpRegt on the Global Response Force, DSMO Worthy Down on Med ops and log @ClareWaltonRAF, @OC_DPSTS on deployed fuels capability, and from Comd Wing log planning.

Today the @DSLAWorthy_Down International Logistic Officers’ Course visited Exercise Logistic Safari, @UKArmyLogistics, speaking to Officer Cadets, soldiers and Officers from @CdoLogRegt, @13AAssltSpRegt, @11_EOD_Regiment and @27RegimentRLC.

Today @RoyalNavy hosted @DSLAWorthy_Down International Log Officers’ Cse at @HMNBPortsmouth. Students were briefed on Carrier Strike Gp log and Fwd log Sites (@COMUKCSG), Tendered Log Spt (@CdrePaulPitcher) and ended in a tour of @hmssevern.

Another two busy days for the International Logistic Officers’ Course @DSLAWorthy_Down with a visit to @RAFBrizeNorton to learn from @1AirMobWing, A4 Ops and Logs Sqn about @RAF_Logistics and a joint @RMASandhurst Late Entry Officers’ Course visit to Parliament.

On the road this week, the International Logistics Officers’ Course and @DSLAWorthy_Down have spent the day @DefenceES and @MOD_DSCOM in Abbey Wood focusing on procurement and strategic base outload. Tomorrow we travel to @RAFBrizeNorton to understand Air (A4) operations.

As the first week of the International Logistic Officers’ Course comes to an end, the Officers from Ghana and Kuwait can reflect on lessons learnt from @UKStratCom, @102LOGX, @104Bde, @HQARRC, @DSLAWorthy_Down, and @DCLPA_HQ. We also popped into No 10 Downing Street.
