Alix Christman

I’ve built my career in supply and logistics operations, first in the Marine Corps and currently as an Assistant Fire Engine Operator / Logistics Chief with the UnitedStatesForestService. I’m known for staying calm under pressure while coordinating mission-critical logistics in high-stakes, fast-moving environments.

In my current role, I lead daily and emergency logistics operations for wildland fire incidents, coordinating across local, state, and federal agencies to resolve urgent supply needs under tight timeframes. I order, track, and manage essential resources (medical gear, communication tools, fuel, meals, housing) for crews ranging from 20 to over 600—keeping delivery and inventory accuracy on target.

I rely on spreadsheet-based systems to maintain detailed inventory records and operational logs, supporting trend analysis and audit compliance. When incident conditions shift, I dynamically assess and reprioritize needs by balancing urgency, crew safety, and resource availability, while collaborating with interagency partners and vendors to minimize disruption.

I also strengthen teams through training and mentoring, teaching order workflows, emergency protocols, and resource tracking systems to reinforce a culture of safety, accountability, and shared success. Earlier in my career, I processed high-priority orders using supply chain systems and spreadsheet-based tools, and I conducted root cause analysis that improved stock accuracy and reduced excess.
