OBJECTIVES
Identify major areas of emphasis for supply sergeants for IDT and AT training
Establish guidelines for assisting supply sergeants to prepare, anticipate and execute supply functions during unit training periods.
General Concepts
Your success will be dependent on three general concepts:
Preparation
Anticipation
Execution
Preparation
Logistics in general, is geared towards identifying the supply implications of future actions and preparing yourself to support those actions.
Preparation is VITAL to mission success
Anticipation
Look ahead at future training and “predict” or anticipate what requirements you will need to provide.
Initiative-Don’t wait to be told what to do
Leaders may not have the experience or knowledge about logistical support and they will be looking to you for that expertise
Execution
Execution will be a success if you have performed the prior steps correctly
