Joint Logistics Learning Framework with Joint Logistics Competency Areas
This framework is designed to guide our efforts to determine what kind of logisticians will be required for the success of Joint Force 2020 and what kinds of knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) our logisticians need to lead/support/enable that kind of force, and then help us to shape how we fully integrate training, experience, education and reflection into a developmental continuum to produce such a leader.
