GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  Ref A is the Hybrid Logistics Symposium (HLS) announcement MARADMIN which outlines the purpose and method of the symposium.  The HLS is sponsored by Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC), Deputy Commandant, Installations and Logistics Department (I and L).  The Logistics Vision and Strategy Branch (LPV) is the I and L HLS lead.  The purpose of this message is to identify the nomination and process requirements for the participants of the HLS.
2.  Symposium Background.  The HLS will take place 26 February – 1 March in partnership with the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) aboard the UCSD campus.  The purpose of the HLS is to discuss hybrid logistics and installations as strategic enablers.  This symposium will identify the people, processes, and equipment (technology) the next generation of Marine Corps Logisticians will need in 2025 and beyond.
2.a.  Method.  The method for the symposium is in three-parts:  preparation, execution, and presentations.
2.A.1.  Preparation.  Cohorts of 10-12 people each will be stood up and assigned 60 days before the start of the symposium.  45 days prior to the Symposium the cohorts will be given pre-conference opportunities/tasks to help shape their mindset going into the conference.  This preconference work includes reading and discussing the MOC, the Marine Corps Installations and Logistics Roadmap (MCILR), and other top-down Marine Corps policies that impact day to day logistics.
2.A.2.  Execution.  The Symposium itself will be an academic series of inter-connected briefs, working groups, demonstrations, and panels.
2.A.3.  Presentations.  At the conclusion of the conference, each cohort will present their findings to a panel of Marine Corps leadership and academia.
3.  Request For Nominations.  There will be 120 participants:  100 Marines, Sailors, and Civilian Marines and 20 UCSD students.  This will allow for 10 cohorts of 12 people each.  For the Marine Corps participants, DC, I and L is accepting nominations for Junior Enlisted (E-5 and below), Company Grade Officers, and Civilian Marines (GS-12 and below) who think outside the box, not necessarily the NCO or Company Grade Officer of the quarter, but Marines, Sailors and Civilians who are curious and critical thinkers, who are willing to follow through on their thoughts with effort.  We want the Marine/Sailor/Civilian that questions the status quo and comes up with new processes within your shops to make the Marine Corps better.  We're looking for the Marines/Sailors/Civilians like those who took the initiative to submit ideas to the innovation challenges, and who you find still working a few hours after they were secured.  These Marines/Sailors/Civilians will have the unique opportunity to shape the future Corps, and we want those who are excited and up for the challenge.  If you have someone that falls outside of the nomination range, but you think is critical to the Symposium, please provide justification in their nomination write-up as to why.
3.a.  Nomination Process.
3.a.1.  Each command listed in 3.b. will provide an action officer as a point of contact for this headquarters.
3.a.2.  Nominees should be routed through their chain of command.
3.a.3.  Nominations must include name, rank, MOS, unit.  Nominees will provide a write-up of why they are a good candidate for the Symposium.  Write-ups must be at least 250 words.  Nominees will prioritize by area of interest the following Hybrid Logistics thrust areas:  lift/distribution (unmanned logistics systems), supply/maintenance (additive manufacturing), expeditionary medicine, smart logistics (data/it driven), and expeditionary energy.
