Just to prevent any confusion that may arise in the future on this, supply and logistics are NOT the same thing. Supply officer (for Marines anyway) are responsible for making sure that a unit has everything it needs to function normally or deploy, managing the supply budget, overseeing a warehouse, etc etc. Logistics officers are platoon commanders for things such as motor transport platoons, maintenance platoons, they handle transport requests, moving personnel and supplies from one place to another, and are masters of combat loading.
metro said:oh, and what is O or I level maintenance?
O (organizational) level maintenance is performed at the actual flying squadron. Examples-changing engines, swapping radios, replacing hydraulic lines. I (intermediate) level maintenance is performed at a dedicated maintenance unit (AIMD for Navy, MALS for Marines). Examples-repairing/testing engines, taking apart and repairing radios, fabricating hydraulic lines.
