The logistics flight commander is in charge of all the operations of the logistics flight, all of which are explained later in the continuity book. Logistics Flight Commander Positional Requirements Have at least 2 years of ROTC experience Must have held at least one first level management position Must be POC for at least one event Must be passing all classes Must have at least a 90 in AFJROTC Must have few or no discipline problems in school or in AFJROTC Must have at least one good conduct ribbon Logistics Flight Commander Duties Must ensure that the logistics deputy flight commander meets the requirements listed below at all times Must ensure that the logistics deputy flight commander is fulfilling the duties listed below by dates specified by the logistics flight commander Must task the logistics deputy commander with appropriate tasks to be fulfilled by dates specified by the logistics flight commander Must give reasonable due dates for all tasks, i.e.: Inventory updates are due on Mondays after the logistics meetings Must attend all logistics meetings preferably held after school on Mondays Must attend all support squadron meetings held on a day appointed by the support squadron commander Must attend all staff meetings held on a day appointed by the group commander Must be present at before and after school to receive tasking from the support squadron commander Must check the ROTC website and notepad for tasks from the support squadron commander, deputy group commander, and the group commander 3 Logistics Flight Representative Positional Requirements Must be passing all classes Must attend all logistics meetings Logistics Flight Representative Duties Must attend all logistics meetings Must be present at the logistics room at least twice a week to receive tasking from the logistics deputy flight commander Must work for the logistics deputy flight commander and help him/her with all assigned tasks Must update inventory sheets after every logistics meeting A failure to uphold these duties and standards could result in the collapse of the logistics flight. If any part of the logistics flight is in accordance with these guidelines, they are first to be verbally warned, have paperwork written, then removed from the position if the problem persists. 4 Meetings Logistics meetings are necessary for the logistics department to run smoothly. The meetings need to be held once a week preferably on Monday after school. They need to be run by the logistics deputy flight commander. The logistics flight representatives need to be at the meetings every week so that the logistics flight commander can receive information about the flights. The logistics deputy flight commander will give all tasks to the logistics flight representatives during this meeting, including inventory updates and cleaning the logistics room. Inventory sheets need to be checked and updated after the meeting. The new revised sheet needs to be run by the ASI so that they can order any items that we are running low on. If logistics flight personnel do not attend a logistics meeting, they are to be verbally warned that failure to attend a second meeting will result in their removal from the logistics flight. If a logistics flight personnel does not attend a logistics meeting, but the have a legitimate reason for not attending the meeting, they can be excused from the meeting and are to be informed of the contents of the meeting. An example agenda is provided on the next page. 5 Logistics Flight Meeting Agenda Logistics flight representatives Updates from Flights B Flight C Flight E Flight F Flight Inventory Cleaning Organization New Processes Inventory Changes Folders Logistics Folders Extra Receipts Feedback 6 Uniform Issue The uniform issue process is a necessity for the group of cadets in any JROTC unit. This process allows the logistics flight issue uniforms to cadets that are either returning or starting their first year in the unit. The uniform issue process is held on a day assigned by either the ASI or SASI preferably during the summer. Cadets, either returning or new cadets, will be contacted by either the logistics flight commander or the logistics deputy flight commander through email or phone at least a month prior to the scheduled date. 1. During the last month of school, information management flight will update cadet contact information so that cadets can be called or emailed about the event. 2. During the last month of school, inventory needs to be updated one final time so that the logistics personnel will be able to order needed uniform parts. See “inventory” on page 30 and “ordering uniform items” on page 34 for further instructions. 3. A month prior to the event, one of the logistics personnel will contact new cadets either by email or phone. 4. The uniform issuing process is held approximately two weeks prior to school starting. The SASI/ASI will determine the date. 5. A logistics representative will direct parents to the designated waiting area while cadets are being issued uniform items: videos will be running. Cadets will wait in the designated waiting area until called up for uniform issue. 6. When called, cadets will proceed to the administration area and issued their logistics. The folders are in alphabetical order, divided by flight. A roster of each flight will be placed by a logistics representative before the dividers. 7. A logistics representative will ensure that cadets sign in to earn activity hours for attending. 8. A designated guide will lead each cadet to each station. 9. Cadets that have turned in their uniforms during the previous year need to be taken to Station 6 where a logistics representative or designated cadet will hand out and check completed uniforms. 7 8 Stations Station 1: shirts, pants, & shoes: outside the locker rooms This station requires 1 male cadet and 1 female cadet: ensure issue sheet has sizes written down.

Missing Uniform Items: when a cadet loses a uniform item 2. CIMS (Cadet Inventory Management System): training for cadets to update and manage CIMS. See CIMS continuity book for more information on the program. 3. Inventory: taking and documenting all the uniform items so that the group looses as little money as possible. 4. Ordering Uniform Items 27 Missing Uniform Items When a cadet loses a uniform item, one of the logistics personnel must fill out a logistics receipt for the total cost of the uniform item. Extra receipts are kept in the logistics room in a folder labeled “Extra Receipts.” Documentation for the missing uniform item will be placed by a logistics flight representative into both the cadet’s PIF and logistics folder. Documentation must also be written by a logistics representative and kept in the logistics room in a folder marked missing uniform items. Missing uniform item documentation will be found in a folder labeled “Missing Uniform Item Documentation”. This folder will be kept in the logistics room. Replacement uniform items needs to be documented on the cadet’s logistics sheet and in the PIF folders. Replacement items will be handed out to the cadet during their respective uniform-wear day. Cadets that loose uniform items need to pay for the lost items within a week of the date the documentation was written. Example Missing Uniform Item Documentation Missing Uniform Item Example Date Lost 8-88-88 Price $$$$ Paid Yes 28 Date Paid 8-88-88 Date Written 8-89-88 CIMS (Cadet Inventory Management System) (Refer to the CIMS continuity book) 29 Inventory Taking inventory is a crucial part of the logistics process. Taking inventory includes counting the uniform items and documenting the numbers on an inventory sheet. An example is provided on the next page. Inventory is to be taken once a moth to ensure that the inventory sheet is up to date with the actual inventory. Inventory must be updated weekly. This means that all the changes in the respective flights will be made to the logistics inventory sheet after logistics meetings. See “Meetings” for further instructions. Print off two inventory sheets so that numbers can properly be documented. One will go to the ASI so that they can order new uniform items when needed. The other will go into a folder labeled “Inventory Sheets.” Start with any uniform item that you wish and begin counting the number of each size of the item. Write the final count of each size of each item on the inventory sheets you printed off earlier. When finished with counting each item, make sure the inventory sheets are complete. Give one sheet to the ASI and keep the other in the logistics room in the folder labeled “Inventory Sheets” so that it can be updated when items are taken. After inventory has been updated and a copy of it has been given to the ASI, CIMS needs to be checked for accuracy. See “CIMS” on page 29 for further instructions on checking inventory. If CIMS and the inventory sheet do not match, CIMS needs to be updated by a Logistics representative. See “CIMS” on page 29 for further instructions. 30 Ordering Uniform Items When uniform items are running low, having only 10 or less of an item, an order needs to be placed through the ASI. Before it can go to the ASI, the order form needs to be filled out by one of the Logistics personnel with the uniform item, the date the form was filled out, and if it is for a cadet, the cadet’s name. If the uniform item is being ordered because the inventory is running low, put LG in the cadet’s size column on their Logistics folder. The order form needs to be turned into the ASI at the end of the week. 31
