Long Description: According the the web site, "many of the definitions below were taken from two sources: Joint Pub1-02, the Dept of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms, dated 23 March 1994 and AR 310-25, the Dictionary of United States Army Terms, dated 15 October 1983. However, except via the web, these publications are not readily available and most of the terms contained within them do not pertain to logistics. Moreover, these two regulations do not include the myriad of logistics terms currently in use throughout the Army, especially the ones that have been introduced within the last decade or so as a result of the extensive increase in logistics automation and the movement to mirror the revolutionary changes occurring within the commercial sector. As a matter of fact, many logistics terms used among Army logisticians on a daily basis are not defined in any Army publication. Therefore, the intent of this dictionary is to capture all of the logistics-related definitions currently listed in numerous regulations into one, all-inclusive source and to define logistics terms which are not clearly defined. The Army frequently introduces new logistics terms during briefings and correspondence without ever clearly defining them. This can often result in confusion and misunderstanding among Army logisticians. Therefore, this dictionary will offer logisticians a means to introduce new terminology, clearly defined, so that all Army personnel have access to the same exact definitions and as such, a common terminology."
