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.

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, 1371, 3002, 3047, and 3537) and rank (MSgt, MGySgt, Maj, LtCol) of 97 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. 4.A.4.D. Priority IV (US Joint). Priority IV US Joint students will have (6) seats reserved for intermediate-level logisticians who serve with or support Marine formations (e.g., Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC), Theater Sustainment Command (TSC), Fleet Logistics Centers (FLC), etc.) per Inter-service Training Organization (ITRO) agreements. 4.A.4.E. Priority V (IMS). Priority V ISM will have six (6) seats reserved per Military Articles & Services List (MASL) agreement. 4.A.4.F. Priority VI (US Federal Employees).

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. 4.B.5.D. Priority IV (US Joint). Priority IV US Joint students will have unused LIPC seats available. Priority IV LIP candidates will require unit funding. 4.B.5.E. Priority V (US Federal Employees).

Railhead Operations Group Training School LEP Offering. 10.A. Railhead Operations Group Training Course (RHOG-TC), Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow, Yermo Annex, CA (CID: Pending) 10.A.1. The purpose of the Railhead Operations Group Training Course (RHOG-TC) is to provide students the knowledge and capability to plan, coordinate, and execute rail operations in support of joint force deployment and distribution in austere and contested environments. Conducted by the MCLB Barstow S-3 Rail Operations Section, designated by Headquarters Marine Corps as the Center of Excellence for Individual and Collective Unit Training for Rail Operations and operating the largest throughput railhead in the Department of War, the RHOG-TC is a 14-day course consisting of two days of classroom instruction followed by twelve days of real-world mission support, during which students load and deploy between 30K and 50K tons of freight by rail. Students receive instruction on the military history and principles of rail operations, as well as the planning, processing, and execution of rail movements from inception to completion. Upon graduation, students are capable of executing a railhead operation with little to no supervision. 10.A.2. This course is designed primarily for Active and Reserve military personnel in logistics, mobility, embarkation, and transportation occupational specialties (e.g., USMC 04XX, USA 88XX, USAF 2TXX, USN Logistics) assigned to railhead, embarkation, or distribution operations. The course is also open to all military personnel, regardless of MOS/AFSC/Rating, who are appointed as Unit Movement Officers (UMOs), Unit Movement Coordinators (UMCs), or assigned to rail loading, tie-down, safety, and inspection details. The current class maximum is 40 students per iteration; however, RHOG-TC is flexible and can accommodate larger class sizes with advance notice and approval. 10.A.3. This course is unit-funded. Travel, rental car, per diem, and lodging costs are the responsibility of the sending unit. Lodging is available on MCLB Barstow via transient quarters; contact Rail Operations for additional information. Students will require full per diem, as the installation has no dining facility. 10.A.4.
