Logistics
One of the U.S. Army’s newest Functional Areas (FA), Logistics, combines the areas of Quartermaster, Ordnance, and Transportation. Because of the advanced expertise and training needed to become a logistics officer, this FA is only open to those holding the rank of captain and higher in the Army.
Created due to an increasing need for multi-skilled leaders, officers serving in Logistics are focused on the complete picture of supply, maintenance, and transportation. This is in direct response to the multifunctional needs of today’s modern battlefield.
