About the role
If you're good at thinking ahead and project planning, then you could be well-suited to a career as a Logistics Specialist.

As well as your day to day responsibilities as a Logistics Specialist, you will also continue your soldier training including weapons, patrolling, navigation, medical and radio / communications training.
Job on deployment
Logistics Specialists deploy on a variety of overseas missions and postings in support of other units and contingents. The role of a Logistics Specialist overseas will be largely the same as while on camp, sourcing equipment and supplies as required to ensure the Army has what it needs to get the job done.
Past deployments have included Afghanistan, Iraq, Timor-Leste, Solomon Islands, and Sinai.
When I first came off basic training, I was straight into the field. We were doing shower tasks, fresh water and rations.
It's not just warehousing, there's so much more.
