PURPOSE

This Manual provides policy and establishes procedures for use and operation of Defense Automatic Addressing System (DAAS) and the International Logistics Communications System (ILCS). Both DAAS and ILCS are part of Defense Logistics Standard Systems (DLSS) and Defense Logistics Management System (DLMS) and are administered by the Defense Logistics Management Standards Office (DLMSO) and operated by the Defense Automatic Addressing System Center (DAASC) at its computer facilities. DAASC is designed to function as a service organization by providing its customers with ready access to the DAAS Telecommunications/Automatic Data Processing (ADP) and programming capabilities.

Provides updated procedures to move the Department of Defense from use of DoD-unique logistics data exchange standards to American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X12 standards, or other recognized standards, as a first step in moving transactional-based logistics business processes towards international open data interchange standards.
