Foreign Military Sales Requisition Processing by the Armed Services.

Abstract

Each branch of the United States Armed Services processes Foreign Military Sales (FMS) requisitions differently. Each service uses the Defense Automated Addressing Service (DAAS) to a different extent for this processing (that is, validating, forwarding and/or editing). This study compares the time of processing requisitions by each service by using a source of supply (Defense Electronic Supply Center) receipt date and the MILSTRIP submission date on FMS requisitions that passed through each service. An analysis of variance on the submission-time showed the Air Force to be significantly faster. Also an examination of the method employed by each service showed the Air Force uses DAAS the most.
