Address Experience what life in the Army is like in one of three rewarding Army Gap Year Logistics roles.
As part of one of Australia’s largest supply chains, you’ll ensure that soldiers have the food, equipment, ammunition and fuel they need to complete their mission. You’ll play a key role in delivering supplies to the right location at the right time - whether you're in the warehouse sorting inventory or behind the wheel of high performing Army transport vehicles.
In your Army LogisticsGap Year, you’ll be managed throughout your training by professional and enthusiastic Army personnel, who will provide the guidance necessary for you to get the most out of this experience.
Your training will begin at Kapooka in Wagga Wagga, NSW, where you’ll complete 12 weeks of recruit training. Training will involve physical training, weapon handling and shooting, first aid, drill and field craft. It’s challenging, but it will prepare you for anything.
On completion of your Initial Military Training, you’ll grow your skills and expertise in one of the following roles:
Driver where you’ll get behind the wheel of an exciting variety of high performing military vehicles, from a Mercedes Benz G-Wagon to a 110-tonne heavy equipment transporter designed to carry cargo like tanks. Learn more about Driver here
Warehouse Coordinator where you’ll take on a critical warehouse management and logistics role, acquiring valuable supply chain skills and distribute state-of-the-art military equipment that most people don’t get to see. Learn more about Warehouse Coordinator here.
Cargo Operator where you’ll ensure crucial cargo gets to its destination on time - by road, rail, sea or air. You’ll learn to operate heavy machinery from forklifts to cranes to small landing craft. Learn more about Cargo Operator here.
Once you’re finished your training, you’ll join a unit and provide vital support to Army teams to keep them operating at their peak while on exercise or in barracks to keep the Army moving.
So, what happens next? After finishing your Gap Year program, you can choose to continue your career in the Army, or use the skills and experiences to gain an edge in future careers. There’s no obligation to serve beyond the one-year program period.
