GENTEXT/REMARKS/
1.  Situation.  Marine Customer Facing Division (QAC), Defense
Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (DLA-AVN) will be hosting
a resident Wholesale Supply Course from 3-5 June, 2025.
Since having Marines embedded within the DLA-AVN Customer Operations
Division, the Marine Corps Aviation Logistics community has seen
substantial return on investment with regards to wholesale logistics
support. Marine Logisticians must continue to train and educate
themselves in providing supply support in order to sustain emerging
and future operational requirements. This resident wholesale supply
course will assist Marines in establishing the knowledge base needed
to become adaptable, critical thinkers who can provide effective
supply support in a multitude of different domains. In coordination
with DLA-AVN, our goal is to provide valuable training, which the
Marines can take back and improve logistical support at their unit.
