Deploying the Army NAPA Store to Support Forward
Currently there are 25 Army SSAs in Iraq
• Organic to maintenance or supply companies. • SSA vary in size based on lines stocked and workforce• Largest carry 8,000 lines and have up to 40 personnel• Normally deploy equipment & parts by sea and troops arrive in time to
unload and move forward• Normally Parts stored in mobility containers in permanent locations• Many OIF SSAs directed to leave parts stocks behind• Started war with new issues requiring location work and new computers • Each manages business with automated tools• Led by Lieutenants or Warrant Officers• Normally follow combat forces by 1-2 days. Some elements may move early.• Set up in buildings if available, but in OIF often in tents or in the open.
From a standing start to fully operational in days

The ASL Structure
• ASLs support 1,000 end items and 16 critical weapon systems (SORTS)• Average size/value for Active Army ASL – 1470 lines/$8 million dollars• The length of the distribution pipeline directly impacts depth of stock• Rapid deployment SSA ASLs normally limited in breadth and depth; constrained by mobility
• Centralized financial management - (Army Working Capital Fund – AWCF)• Active Army ASLs - 255; ARNG and USAR normally don’t have ASLs• DLA managed vs. Army managed 80%-20% stock ratio; value ratio reversed • ASL stockage criteria based on cost, priority, essentiality and 24 monthsof demand data
• Current metric to measure performance is the ASL Fill Rate – a product of Demand Accommodation (breadth) X Demand Satisfaction (depth)

What I Hope I Left You With …
Supply Chain Management in Support of Deployed Operations is Challenging Business
- Integrating Numerous Channels into Military Distribution System- Widely Distributed, Fast-Moving, Rapidly Changing Demands- Unrelenting, High Volume, Continuous, Predictable Demands- Piles of Serviceable and Unserviceable Materiel Awaiting Processing - Bad Guys with IEDs and Weapons
Solutions Aplenty- Tough Job Is Picking the Right Mix to Meet the Mission- Working Cooperatively and Collaboratively Is Not Easy

“Can I logistically support this course of action?”
BCS3 has a simulation tool that allows the user to project supply consumption for a given COA by event or across time. This feature assists in training, planning, and execution.
BCS3 provides actionable logistics information to Joint commanders at all echelons Brigade and
