DLMS Migration & MILS Elimination

A 22 Dec 03 Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition Technology and Logistics (AT&L) memo at http://www.dla.mil/j-6/dlmso/eLibrary/Restricted/MigrationPlans/endDLSSmemo...  (with attachment) on Migration to the DLMS and Elimination of the Military Standard Systems (MILS)(also known as Defense Logistics Standard Systems (DLSS)) requires action to eliminate the generation and transmission of logistics transactions using the 80-character MILS formats. The data-limited MILS formats prevent tracking an item throughout its life cycle across the entire supply chain using Unique Identifiers (UIDs) and other business transformation initiatives. A related 4 Jan 04 Defense Logistics Management Standards Office (DLMSO) memorandum at http://www.dla.mil/j-6/dlmso/eLibrary/Restricted/MigrationPlans/DLMSOMigrat... provides additional information associated with this process.
