It covers aviation logistics fundamentals, organizational structures, maintenance levels, modernization allowances, information technology, prepositioning, and reserve aviation logistics. It also addresses how aviation logisticians support the Aviation Combat Element and Marine air-ground task force across expeditionary operations.
The goal of Marine Corps aviation, therefore, is to attain and maintain combat readiness to support expeditionary maneuver warfare.
Marine Aviation Logistics integrates sustainment and operational planning efforts between the Navy and Marine Corps in direct support of Marine aviation and is a critical enabler to aircraft readiness and the readiness of the MAGTF.
Aviation Logisticians work across functional areas of Aviation Supply, Avionics, Maintenance, and Ordnance in support of the Aviation Combat Element and deliver the necessary capabilities and parts to sustain expeditionary operations at sea and ashore.
Aviation Logisticians will ensure the ACE and MAGTF are supported across the range of military operations, today and in the future.
Marine Aviation is posturing itself for operations in new and uncertain austere expeditionary environments.
