Logistics: The Decisive Advantage

Logistics Officer Association (LOA) is excited to launch a new four-part event series: the W.I.S.E. Symposium. W.I.S.E. stands for Warfighter, Innovator, Sustainer, Educator—the four pillars that shape the future of logistics.

Each event focuses on one of these areas and is accessible to everyone, with a virtual option and regional events held on the West Coast, Midwest, and East Coast.

This new format allows LOA to deliver meaningful programming, reach a broader audience, and maintain momentum across the logistics community.

We are excited to host Senior Leaders across the Logistics Enterprise representing: Office of the Secretary of Defense, Headquarters Air Force, Air Force Materiel Command, Air Force Global Strike Command, Air Combat Command, Air Mobility Command, Air Education and Training Command, U.S. Air Forces in Europe, Air Force Reserve Command, Defense Logistics Agency, and many more.

LOGNATION will be out in force! Military, Civilian, and Industry reps from flightlines and back shops to strategists and Senior Leaders—all focused on advancing our profession.
