Manage the deployment and delivery of logistics support

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to manage the deployment and delivery of complex or significant logistics support in a deployed context in support of operations, in accordance with relevant organisational policy and procedures.

The application of this unit in the workplace includes preparing for logistics operations, deploying a logistics team from a home location to a field environment, and managing the internal operation of logistics support, extraction and return to a home location.

This unit is applicable to senior logistics personnel responsible for organising and managing delivery of integrated logistics support in a field deployment context.

This unit is designed for large operations that require significant logistics support; a typical example would be an overseas deployment for disaster support involving numerous logistics elements.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
