Summary
The Army logistics system is a complex series of processes, organizations, doctrines, procedures and automated systems. Historically, the system has been separated into two management levels: wholesale, which typically includes Army Materiel Command (AMC), Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), and the industrial base; and retail, which includes all customer organizations at theater and below. Doctrinally, however, the system is segregated into three levels: strategic, operational, and tactical. In recent years, decisions have been made to enable these domains using commercial standard software whenever appropriate. This paper describes an architectural planning approach for designing a standard software solution that combines the two management levels of Army logistics.
