Logisticians compare notes

By SQNLDR Grant Pinder

ADF logistics officers, including Air Force personnel, get together in the MEAO for a conference.

Grant Pinder OPERATION Catalyst logisticians, including Air Force members, have attended a two-day conference to develop their expertise.

Representatives from the various force elements across the Middle East and Headquarters in Baghdad gave presentations on their current activities and heard from two major in-theatre contractors.

A highlight of the conference was a trip to one of the major US military logistics bases to see the logistic infrastructure of a major military organisation deployed on a large scale.

The conference also provided an ideal opportunity for participants to network with their fellow ADF logisticians who are widely dispersed supporting air, land and sea operations.

The Joint Task Force 633 principal logistics officer, Commander Paul Mulcahy, was pleased with the interest from the various elements and believed that all who attended the event – which was held
from September 29-30 – gained a lot out of it.
