Aviation Logistics Officers: Combining Supply and Maintenance Responsibilities

Abstract : Aviation maintenance officers (MOS 6002) and aviation supply officers (MOS 6602) must work closely together to provide aircraft readiness to Marine Corps aviation. These two fields are so interrelated that for either to truly be proficient, each must understand the roles and responsibilities of both specialties, starting from the beginning of an aviation logistics officer's career. In the aviation logistics community combining the fields of aviation maintenance and supply in order would allow for common training, create flexibility in officer assignments, and broaden the experience base for aviation logistics officers.
