Evolution The Past

• No centralized training focused on contingency
  logistics
• Lessons learned from Balkan conflicts confirmed
  experience/training void
• Need for a logistics integrator at the tactical
  level to improve wing capability
• CORONA South 2000 Tasker AEFLS under WS

Evolution More of the Past

• Paradigm shift in logistics training
• Combat support process vs. functional AFSC skill
  set
• Focus--logistics integration
• Original target audience was maintainers and LROs
• Develop logisticians who can
• Balance long-term fleet health and sortie
  generation
• Mobilize, beddown, and generate combat capability

Evolution Blue Ribbon Panel

• First AMMOS class had mix
• In 2003, senior leaders directed ALROC stand up
  -- Fit Dix, NJ, Air Mobility Warfare Center
• Refocused each school to concentrate on core
  capabilities of maintainers and LROs
• Allowed each specialty to focus on the effects
  their skills directly contribute to combat
  capability

  fill D-coded billets
• Graduates expected to fulfill producer,
  instructor, and advisor roles

Bottomline goal is to expand combat capabililty
16
Differences

• Selection process
• Target student population
• Target assignments for graduates
• AMMOS Tactical level

17
Course Integration

• Directed by Blue Ribbon Panel
• Class schedules synchronized in Jan 05
• Course development process and subject matter
  already integrated
• Exploring opportunities
• Joint site surveys
• Joint AFCOMAC training
• Shared instruction arrangements
• Synchronized MEX play via SIPRNet, VTCs
