GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. The emerging and future operational requirements
necessitate the Marine Corps to train and educate expeditionary
logistics professionals capable of succeeding in such an environment.
Marine logisticians must be adaptable, critical thinkers who can
anticipate transitions to fight and win across contested domains.
In coordination with Training and Education Command and Joint
Logistics Enterprise stakeholders, we strive to provide valuable
training and education opportunities across the logistics community.
The Logistics Education Program (LEP) provides opportunities through
educational institutions external to the Marine Corps with the
purpose of broadening knowledge on joint, multi-national, and
interagency logistics processes, practices, and technologies.
2. In accordance with the reference, Marine Corps Logistics
Operations Group (MCLOG) is the Service level manager of select
LEP courses. MCLOG oversees the Marine Corps' allocation of
logistics training and education opportunities with other services
and civilian/governmental agencies. Courses associated with the
LEP provide unique opportunities to expand the knowledge base of
logisticians across the Fleet Marine Force and supporting
establishment.
3. Individual LEP courses are educational venues external to the
Service that provide opportunities for logisticians to broaden
their knowledge on joint, multinational, and interagency logistics
processes, practices, and technologies. Due to the high interest in
the LEP and the fact that the educational venues hosting LEP
courses do not fall under the USMC, MCLOG must utilize a nomination
process.
3.A. Nomination Process - Each of the LEP courses will have a
calling message, complete with up-to-date information, released
approximately (90) days prior to the course start on the first of
the month via AMHS and posted on MCLOG SharePoint, available at:
https:(slash)(slash)usmc.sharepoint-mil.us/sites/TECOM_MCLOG.
Contact listed POCs if unable to navigate to LEP information. The
nomination period will run for (30) days, ending on the first of
the next month, approximately (60) days prior to the course start.
NLT (15) days after the nomination period expires, both selected
and non-selected Nominees will be notified by the LEP Registrar.
Early nominations for courses that have not yet had a calling
message released will be entertained.
3.B. The paragraphs below provide a summary of current LEP
courses. Updates will occur at regular intervals via MARADMIN,
AMHS, and MCLOG SharePoint.
