In Army terms, whether the consolidation of MOSs and specialties into the "multifunctional logistician" concepts can actually work, or are critical skills being lost in the individual domains of ordenance, transportation, quartermaster, ect.

In my time, in small unit, Supply guy reports to commander, spends more time in the ops cell, The 4 shop, and BDE HQ than the supply room. This in order to help anticipate what may be logistically needed.

Could move from unit to unit and still maintain some support for the other. It's an asset and should find enough to do - always busy and taking action on things before they hit staff call tomorrow.

The skill set changes too fast through technology and the mission has become too diverse. The optempo is pretty intense and many operations are only done once.
