Logistical Field Support of Army Major Weapons Systems.

Abstract

The Direct Support System as a means of logistical support to the Army's major weapon systems have proven viable. The steadily increasing cost of field support however requires continued improvement in system management. Through improved communication and transportation modes, DSS has reduced the total Order Ship Time cycle and increased customer satisfaction. Inventory in Motion is no longer a principle, but a live, fast-paced logistics system. (Author)
