FY-27 Logistics Education Program Course Catalog

1. The emerging and future operational requirements necessitate
the Marine Corps train and educate Expeditionary Logistics
Professionals capable of succeeding in such an environment. Marine
logisticians must be adaptable, critical thinkers who can anticipate
transitions to fight and win across contested domains. In
coordination with Training and Education Command (TECOM) and Joint
Logistics Enterprise (JLEnt) stakeholders, we strive to provide
valuable training and education opportunities across the logistics
community. The Logistics Education Program (LEP) provides
opportunities through training and educational institutions,
internal and external to the Marine Corps, to broaden knowledge on
Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental, and Multinational (JIIM)
logistics processes, practices, and technologies.

2.  Per the reference (a), Marine Corps Logistics Operations Group
(MCLOG) is the service-level manager of select LEP courses. MCLOG
oversees the Marine Corps' allocation of logistics training and
education opportunities with other services and civilian/
governmental agencies. Courses associated with the LEP provide unique
opportunities to expand the knowledge base of logisticians across the
Fleet Marine Force and supporting establishment.

3. Individual LEP courses are training or educational venues which
provide opportunities for logisticians to broaden their knowledge on
JIIM logistics processes, practices, and technologies. Due to the
high interest in the LEP, coupled with the fact that many of the
training or educational venues hosting LEP courses do not fall under
the Marine Corps, MCLOG must utilize a nomination process.
3.a. Nomination process. Each of the LEP courses will have a calling
message, complete with up-to-date information, released approximately
ninety (90) days prior to the course start on the first of the month,
via AMHS, and hung on MCLOG SharePoint, available at:
https:(slash)(slash)usmc.sharepoint-mil.us/sites/tecom_mclog.
Contact the listed POCs if unable to navigate to the LEP information.
The nomination period will run for thirty (30) days, ending on the
first of the next month, approximately (60) days prior to the course
start. NLT fifteen (15) days after the nomination period expires,
both selected and non-selected nominees will be notified by the LEP
registrar. Early nominations for courses that have not yet had a
calling message released will be entertained.
3.b. Funding. Unless otherwise stated all LEP courses are unit
funded.
3.c. The paragraphs below provide a summary of current LEP courses.
Updates will occur at regular intervals via MARADMIN, AMHS, and MCLOG
SharePoint.

4. MCLOG LEP offerings.
4.A. Advanced Expeditionary Logistics Operations Course (AXLOC),
Marine Corps Logistics Operations Group, Twentynine Palms, CA (CID:
M09F2F9)
4.A.1. AXLOC is the premier venue offering Advanced Individual
Training for Marines, Joint, and international military students
(IMS) serving in key logistics billets. AXLOC has a distance learning
(DL) phase and a resident phase. The distance learning phase must be
completed before being registered for the resident phase, and both
must be completed for Marines to be certified as an Expeditionary
Logistics Instructor (ELI)/AMOS 0477. This fast-paced four-week
resident phase certifies ELIs to effectively close and sustain naval
expeditionary forces in support of distributed maritime operations
and expeditionary advanced base operations. AXLOC challenges
participants to plan and conduct tactical and operational level
logistics and will require the incorporation of the JLEnt and
strategic level solutions. Using 21st-century adult learning
methodologies, AXLOC incorporates extensive use of case studies,
wargaming, staff exercises, and planning in integrated small groups.
Graduates will be able to design, conduct, and supervise unit
training plans, evaluate unit readiness data submitted in the defense
readiness reporting system, develop concepts of logistics support,
incorporate the use of the Marine Corps Planning Process and Joint
Planning Process, and lead Operational Planning Teams.
4.A.2. This course is designed for Officers in grades O-4 through
O-5, and Staff Non-commissioned Officers in grades E-8 and E-9 with
the following PMOS: 0402, 0491, 1302, 1371, 3002, 3043, and 3537.
Grade and MOS exceptions will be made on a case-by-case basis. All
participants must have a minimum of one year of obligated service
remaining upon completion of the course. Active SECRET security
clearance with US access and Secret Internet Protocol Router (SIPR)

active-duty Marines.
4.A.4. ELI Candidates Priority System. Most AXLOC courses have more
nominations than MCLOG has the ability to support in one course.
Selection for the resident phase will be boarded and approved by the
Commanding Officer, MCLOG, using a priority process approved by HQMC.
4.A.4.A. Priority I (US Marines). Priority I ELI candidates are
in/slated for an ELI Billet Identification Code (BIC). Most ELI BICs
are either an Operations Officer (OPSO)/Operations Chief (OPSC) of
O-5/O-6 Ground Logistics Commands (CLB, LLB, CLR, CRR, MWSS, ESB,
CEB, etc.) or S-4 Officer/S-4 Chief of a non-CSS O-6 Command (MEU,
Infantry/Artillery Regt, MAG, etc.) or an OPSO/OPSC on a General
Officer Staff (MLG G-3 OPSO/C, MARFOR G-4 OPSO/C, MEF G-4 OPSO/C, DIV
G-4 OPSO/C). Priority I students are selected by billet only. There
are other ELI BICs across the force, such as MARSOC and select TECOM
billets, that will also be Priority I ELI candidates.
4.A.4.B. Priority II (US Marines). Priority II ELI candidates are not
in/slated for an ELI BIC but match the primary MOS (0402, 0491, 1302,

percent of the ELI BICs across the Marine Corps. Priority II ELI
candidates should be the next person assigned to an ELI BIC.
4.A.4.C. Priority III (US Marines). Priority III ELI candidates will
need one or more waivers (Rank, PMOS, and/or Career Level PME
complete) to attend the course. Commanders/G-3/G-4 (O-5/O-6) will
need to submit justification on why a Priority III ELI candidate
should be viewed in the same lens as a Priority II ELI candidate.
Priority III ELI candidates may require unit-funding.

logistics operations in maritime, littoral, and inland battlespace
while integrating with an operational planning team (E8-E9, O4-O5
Student Staffs).

are in/slated for a LIP BIC. Most LIP BICs are either an intelligence
officer or intelligence chief within the MLG (e.g., Battalion,
Regiment, Group). Priority I students are selected by billet only.
There are other LIP BICs across the Force, such as select TECOM
billets, that will also be Priority I LIP candidates.
4.B.5.B. Priority II (MLG Intelligence Analyst). Priority II LIP
candidates are not in/slated for a LIP BIC but are intelligence
professionals within the MLG. Priority II LIP candidates should be
the future person assigned to a LIP BIC.
4.B.5.C. Priority III (Non-MLG Intelligence Professionals). Priority
III LIP candidates will need a waiver to attend the course.
Commanders/G-2 (O-5/O-6 level) will need to submit justification on
how a Priority III LIP candidate would employ the LIP T&R events in
their current or future assignments. These justifications will assist
MCLOG and the greater intelligence community on future LIP BIC
designations. Many LIPC courses will have Priority III LIP candidates
attend the resident phase, in support of future
requirements/assignments.
