Logistics officers can be stationary on military bases or deployed as an active part of a field army, air wing, naval force or coast guard fleet.
The main role of these officers remains the same regardless of where they are stationed; to ensure that the force is supplied with enough food, water, fuel, ammunition and other goods and services to complete the task at hand.
As in the RAF they are generally focused on the maintenance of the supply chain (in both Joint and Air environments), equipment governance, catering, movements and transport, the non-technical logistics disciplines.
This branch is responsible for supporting the army in the wide logistics spectrum: supply, maintenance, movement & transport and contracting.
Logistics officers with the Canadian Coast Guard are responsible for a wide variety of duties that help maintain the operation of a vessel.
Logistics officers are responsible for purchasing, receiving, storing and issuing of all materials for the ship and any other offshore military establishment.
