Certified Military Logistics Wargaming Professional (CMLWP) Certification Program by Tonex
The Certified Military Logistics Wargaming Professional (CMLWP) Certification Program by Tonex provides defense, military, logistics, and security professionals with advanced knowledge for evaluating sustainment strategies, contested logistics, deployment requirements, supply networks, transportation capacity, operational risks, and resource constraints through structured military wargaming. Participants learn to design logistics-focused scenarios, establish objectives, develop assumptions, identify critical dependencies, assess adversary effects, evaluate courses of action, and translate findings into actionable recommendations for operational planning.
The program uses a practical training approach that includes exercises, real-world case studies, and examples of processes and documentation used in military logistics wargaming projects. Participants examine sustainment challenges involving supply, maintenance, transportation, infrastructure, medical support, fuel, munitions, and distribution operations.
Cybersecurity has become increasingly important because modern military logistics depends on interconnected information systems, digital supply chains, communications networks, and data-driven decision support. Participants examine how cybersecurity threats can disrupt logistics visibility, transportation coordination, inventory information, and sustainment operations. Effective cybersecurity planning strengthens resilience and supports mission continuity in contested operational environments.
