📦 Logistics & supply
Getting the right people, parts, fuel, and ammo to the right place — the movement and supply that keep everything running.
What they do
Logistics is the supply chain of the military — ordering, warehousing, and issuing parts and equipment; managing fuel and ammunition; and moving people and cargo by truck, ship, and air. Specialists run inventory systems, transportation management, and parachute rigging.
It is organized, systems-driven work that keeps everything else able to operate.

ASVAB areas that matter
The verbal subtests (WK, PC) and Math Knowledge (MK) / Arithmetic Reasoning (AR) — the “clerical/administrative” aptitude. Your AFQT score decides whether you can enlist; individual subtests combine into “line scores” that set which jobs you qualify for. Prepare with our free ASVAB practice tests.
How it transfers to civilian work
