What type of inventory is managed in GCSS Army?

GCSS Army is designed to manage both expendable and non-expendable inventory, making it a comprehensive logistics solution. Expendable inventory consists of items that are consumed in use and typically need to be replenished frequently, such as supplies and parts. Non-expendable inventory, on the other hand, refers to items that are durable and not consumed in use, like equipment and vehicles, which require maintenance and accountability.

This dual capability allows units to efficiently track and manage a wide array of supplies necessary for operations, ensuring that all types of materials—whether one-time use or long-term assets—are properly accounted for. By having this functionality, GCSS Army enhances readiness by streamlining the supply chain and facilitating accurate reporting and auditing of inventory levels.

In contrast, focusing solely on either expendable or non-expendable inventory would limit the system's effectiveness in supporting comprehensive supply chain management. Training materials are a specific category of non-expendable items but do not encompass the entire scope of inventory that the system handles. Thus, the recognition of both inventory types underscores GCSS Army’s role in maintaining logistical efficacy across various operational requirements.
