MAJ Williams (front row, third from left) and the attendees of a LOGEX preparation conference earlier this year.

These are the booming words of the jumpmaster of an airborne operation to his paratroopers just before exiting the aircraft. My scenario and actions are not so dramatic of course, but there are only a few more days left before the start of LOGEX 10 on Sept. 6 and I can gladly report that my "equipment check" is on track for a successful exercise. Everything from life support, transportation, budget and logistics systems exercise support for 70 or so participants and observers is prepared to go.

The premier event for this exercise is undoubtedly the Distinguished Visitor's Day on Sept. 14, where Senior National Logistics Leaders, among others, from 13 Nations will gather to discuss LOGEX 10 training and opportunities for future logistics engagements. It promises to be an exciting time and Armed Forces Network (AFN) will also provide coverage of the event.

Warrant Officer Martin Turner (RAF), Allied Command Transformation, provides instruction on LOGFAS during a previous workshop.

I will try to write more in the coming days to keep you up to date on our progress and status, so in the meantime, please feel free to comment and let me know your thoughts on the LOGEX Series.

And the response from the paratrooper in the front of the line...?

"All OK Jumpmaster!"
