After completing the basic technical Logistics Readiness Officer (LRO) course, the LRO returns to their assigned base and begins core competency on-the-job training. In order to become qualified, the LRO must be assigned to at least one proficiency in each of the three core competencies (material management, distribution management, and contingency operations) for at least twelve months and complete all training tasks for each proficiency. The foundation of technical knowledge and skills gained through core competency training will guide the LRO in future assignments to include being an effective operations officer and a squadron commander. However, the current high operations tempo and demand for LROs in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom along with the high mission demands at base level are negatively affecting completion of LRO core competency training.
