Outcome-based Benefits for Individuals, Organizations, and Enterprise
The HCS – in particular the common logistics lexicon, career roadmaps, competencies, and the LCDF – will benefit all components of the DoD logistics workforce: individuals, Services and Agencies, and the Total Force. For individuals, the HCS provides a clear career roadmap with consistent expectations and application of competencies and skill requirements, in additional to enhanced opportunity for cross-functional development, flexibility and growth. For the Services and Agencies, the HCS improves logistics synergy which, in turn, provides better capabilities for current and emerging mission requirements. For the Total Force, the HCS provides an enterprise-wide system for identifying, developing, and utilizing necessary competencies to support the warfighter.
