The programme forms part of the expeditionary combat support system (ECSS), which is intended to standardise logistics procedures throughout the US Air Force.

Once the end product of ECSS has gone live, it will provide US Air Force officials with a complete global logistics picture in one system.

The AMT certified part marking leader Paul Lewis said the ECSS will completely streamline all inventory processes.

“It will make things easier for everyone involved in the inventory process, from equipment custodians to supply airmen to ‘big air force’. Computers, weapons and vehicles will all be more easily accounted for,” he added.
