Which certifications are useful for Veterans pursuing careers related to procurement, supply-chain management and logistics?

I notice that many Veterans express an interest in procurement, supply-chain management and logistics. Which certifications are relevant and useful for Veterans pursuing careers related to procurement, supply-chain management and logistics? Please discuss and elaborate. I'll also perform my own research. I'm especially interested in hearing from individuals with civilian experience in these areas.

Some data:
* Over 35% of the job listing near Dallas that mention the word procurement also mention the word certification. This make me think a certification might be worth pursuing, and might be one practical way to distinguish yourself and your resume, network, improve your qualifications and skills.

Check out this association, which also offers certifications. I became aware of them years ago when I was working for a company that made ERP software.
