Implications of Army XXI Total Asset Visibility (TAV)
Abstract
Total Asset Visibility (TAV) has received a lot of attention as Army leaders focus logistics efforts to provide swift, uninterrupted support to warfighters in the 21st Century. Army organizations at all levels of war must have total asset visibility (TAV) of units, equipment, supplies, and personnel, regardless of the types of operation. Fiscal constraints have forced the Army to transition from maintaining excess supplies, just in case they will be needed, to providing just enough at the right time and at the right place. To ensure TAV, the Army must discipline automated information systems and continue to leverage automated information technology to provide timely and accurate information. The ability to link stovepipe logistics automated information systems to shared databases with common access will contribute to the success of future Army operations. This paper highlights some of the Army XXI TAV challenges and suggests how to overcome them.
