LOG-02 Cache Planning & Inventory Architecture

Cache Planning & Inventory Architecture

The design decisions behind the cache — site, containers, schema, architecture, security, and growth — for groups who’ve completed LOG-01 and are ready to go deeper.

Course Overview, One Page

A single printable page covering what LOG-02 teaches, the 6 lessons, what you need before starting, and the doctrinal sources behind the method. Useful for deciding whether the course is for you, or for handing to somebody in your group who is weighing it up.

Why This Course

BLUF: LOG-01 Lesson 3 teaches you to run the cache system. This course teaches you to design and harden the cache itself — the decisions made once, before the T-card and floor-level system has anything to operate on.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

  • Score candidate cache sites against accessibility, security, environmental risk, and OPSEC exposure
  • Match container class to item category, with fuel and hazmat storage handled correctly
  • Design an inventory schema built to scale past a few hundred line items
  • Decide when a single cache should become a multi-cache architecture, and split it correctly
  • Set physical security tiers and compartmentalized access matched to real threat level
  • Forecast cache capacity 12 months out instead of reacting to a full cache

Lessons

Lesson 1

Site Selection

Score candidate sites against accessibility, security, environmental risk, and OPSEC exposure before committing to one.

Lesson 2

Container & Environmental Protection

Match container class to item category, and set fuel and hazmat segregation rules.

Lesson 3

Inventory Schema Design

Design the fields, ID conventions, and tracking method every record needs, before the cache fills up.

Lesson 4

Multi-Cache Architecture

Know when a single cache should become more than one, and what changes when it does.

Lesson 5

Cache Security Tiers

Match physical security to actual threat level, and compartmentalize access by role.

Lesson 6

Expansion & Capacity Planning

Catch growth triggers early and forecast capacity 12 months out instead of reacting to a full cache.

How This Course Works

Format Self-paced online lessons, each pairing a design concept with a worksheet you apply to your group’s actual cache.
Prerequisite LOG-01, at minimum through Lesson 3 (Cache Planning & Inventory Architecture) — this course builds directly on its terms and frameworks.
Progression Start with the Orientation check on the Course Map. Each lesson unlocks the next once its knowledge check is passed — progress is saved in your browser.
Certificate Unlocks automatically once all 6 lessons are complete.
