Logistics, a support mission, is vital to the successful operation of the Colorado Outward Bound School (COBS) courses. Logistics is responsible for purchasing, maintaining, transporting, and replenishing a wide variety of items, i.e., food, mountaineering and camping equipment, medical and other supplies, and vehicles. The Logistics coordinator works directly with the course director. This handbook provides the basic information needed by a Logistic coordinator. The information pertains to: the coordinator's job description; staff purchases and discounts (supplier, item, and discount percentage); base operations; vehicles and vehicle maintenance; equipment issue and turn-in procedure; maintenance and use of OPTIMUS stoves; first aid responsibilities; accident report procedures; accounting and control of prescription drugs; helicopter alert procedure; notification sequence in case of serious accident in the field; fresh food resupply for the different areas; fresh food menus; administrative and closing procedures; and map ordering procedure. Also included are: copies of the vehicle incident report, equipment invoice, sewing charges sheet, store invoice, field expense record, purchase orders, disbursement requisition, and personal effects receipt; and listings of standard student equipment for summer course, summer and winter clothing, standard first aid kits, and dry food and rations.
