Who receives initial training by the installation deployment officer (IDO) within 90 days of assignment?

The initial training provided by the installation deployment officer (IDO) within 90 days of assignment is specifically directed at unit commanders. This training is critical as unit commanders play a vital role in the deployment process; they are responsible for ensuring that their units are prepared for deployment and that all logistics plans are effectively communicated and executed. The IDO provides essential information about processes, procedures, and requirements that unit commanders must understand to manage and oversee operations during deployments, including readiness assessments and resource allocation.

While unit assistants, unit supervisors, and logistics managers have important roles within the logistics and deployment framework, the specific focus of initial training by the IDO is on unit commanders, who hold the highest responsibility for deployment readiness within their units. This training sets the foundation for effective leadership in logistics operations, ensuring that unit commanders are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to lead their teams in successful deployments.
