Military Standard Systems (MILS) (also known as Defense Logistics Standard Systems (DLSS))
In 1962, the MILS/DLSS were established to realize the advantages of advancing computer technology. They provide procedures for communicating requirements, moving material, and performing the other tasks that ensure the continuing operation of DoD's logistics system. The DLSS and supporting Directives (for which DLA Logistics Management Standards Office manages) are listed below:
Contract Administration - Military Standard Contract Administration Procedures (MILSCAP)
Data Element Standardization - Logistics Data Element Standardization and Management Program (LOGDESMAP)
DoD Activity Address Directory (DoDAAD) Program
Requisition and Issue - Military Standard Requisition and Issue Procedures (MILSTRIP)
Billing - Military Standard Billing System (MILSBILLS)
Supply Discrepancy Reporting (SDR)
Military Assistance Program Address Directory (MAPAD)
Transaction Reporting and Accountability - Military Standard Transaction Reporting and Accountability Procedures (MILSTRAP)
Pipeline Measurement Process Review Committee (PM PRC)
Please note that the DLSS is being phased out. The migration to DLMS is a long-term process that requires a measured, phased implementation. Department of Defense Directive 8190.1, “DoD Logistics Use of Electronic Data Interchange EDI) Standards”, as supplemented by USD (AT&L) memorandum dated 22 December 2003 (Migration to the Defense Logistics Management Standards), provided policy and guidance to implement commercial EDI standards and eliminate MILS by 1 January 2005. The DLMS Migration Plan was published by the DLA Logistics Management Stasnmdards in April 2000, and amended in January 2004.
