MAG Training Series — Logistics & Supply

Logistics & Supply Management

Six units. From mindset to the annual cache drill.

Bottom Line Up Front

Most MAGs plan for what they’ll do. Few plan for how they’ll pay for it, who owns what when someone leaves, or what to do when the food donated six months ago is quietly spoiling. This curriculum builds the ownership frameworks, cache architecture, and operational habits that keep a group supplied and functional — before it needs them.

The Six Modules

Work them in sequence or take them standalone. Each links to a full lesson page with embedded worksheets and downloadable forms.

01Foundation: What Logistics Is and Who Owns It

How each lesson works
The Concept — the principle and why it matters. The Application — the same principle mapped to your group’s specific context. The Drill — one structured exercise with embedded worksheets and a concrete output to file with your logistics records. Every module links to the full forms PDF for printing.

Companion: MAG Workbook

This training assumes your group has completed the MAG Workbook — threat assessment, role assignments, and skills inventory. The workbook defines what your logistics system needs to support. This curriculum builds it.
