Question to the Logisticians! I have been working as a National Guard Fed Tech for 6 years and was just hired as an LMS for the DoD. One of the job requirements stated I must become level III life cycle logistics certified within 2 years. Does this mean I have to complete all the training for level 1-3 or does some of my previous experience on both the military and technician experience fulfill some requirements?

According to DAU:
Life Cycle Logistics (LCL) is defined as the planning, development, implementation, and management of a comprehensive, affordable, and effective systems support strategy that encompasses the entire system’s life cycle: acquisition (design, develop, test, produce and deploy), sustainment (operations and support), and disposal.
Life Cycle logisticians pursue two primary objectives: to see that weapon systems are designed, maintained, and modified to reduce the demand for logistics and to ensure effective and efficient product support. To successfully complete these objectives, they must have the right balance of training and experience. This is achieved, in part, through the LCL acquisition certification process:

You have to complete the training but DAU is changing to a different certification program so it may be easier under "Back to Basics".
