Logistics is the backbone of the Royal Navy; Logistics Officers are its leaders. Sustaining over 35,000 men and women across the world, every day, is no mean feat. It’s your job to make sure they have what they need, when they need it. That means everything from bullets and bed linen, to fuel and food. Without you, global naval operations would literally grind to a halt. It seems like a gargantuan task, but for a Logistics Officer, it’s all in a day’s work.
