Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare for logistic operations
   • Operational requirement is analysed in order to establish the scope and intent of logistic support
   • Deployment requirements are received and interpreted to determine logistic requirements
   • Reconnaissance of the deployment area is conducted to inform the planning including technical and functional siting considerations
   • Warning instructions are prepared and issued to logistic element personnel to enable them to prepare for deployment
   • Occupational health and safety (OH&S) requirements and recognised safety precautions are applied throughout the operation in accordance with organisational policy and procedures
2. Deploy the logistic support
   • Deployment instructions are prepared and issued to logistic element personnel to inform them of the method and sequence of the deployment
   • Movement to the deployment site is managed in accordance with the operational environment and management instructions
   • Logistic element is deployed, sited and monitored to ensure the operational logistic support requirements are being achieved
3. Provide logistic support
   • Liaison with stakeholders involved in the operation is carried out to ensure the most effective coordination of effort
   • Operational or organisational constraints are recognised and logistic tasks are directed to align with these constraints
   • Logistic support priorities are set in order to align the activities with the organisational objectives
   • The activity is monitored to ensure that the logistic elements are conducting activity with appropriate authority and in accordance with organisational policy and procedures
   • The delivery of logistic support is managed to meet the demands of the operation
   • Personnel are supervised and efficiently and effectively employed within their area of speciality
   • The maintenance integrity of logistic support assets is monitored to ensure assets are available for support tasks when required
   • Logistic information systems are utilised to monitor and coordinate logistic support operations and to inform the decision making process
   • Liaison with agencies involved in the operation is carried out to ensure the most effective coordination of effort
   • Management and stakeholders are advised when significant issues or developments arise that may adversely impact on the operation
   • Records are maintained and entered into information systems
4. Close down the site
   • Redeployment instructions are prepared and issued to logistic element personnel
   • The scaling down and withdrawal of the deployment site is monitored to ensure it is consistent with the operational environment and organisational requirements
