Ready-for-Use National Stock Number.

Abstract

Within the Army supply system there exists no procedure by which assemblages of major items, e.g., tank, radio, machines gun, and searchlight, can be supplied from the continental United States in a Ready-for-Use (RFU) configuration (but less fuel and ammunition). Even if such an assemblage were to be supplied, the action could not be accomplished using a single stock number. The study examines two different methods for utilizing an RFU National Stock Number to add this capability to the supply system. Key words include: Active Army, Weapons, Supply, Umbrella NSN, Weapon System NSN.
