Description
There is no capability within DPAS WM to transfer "unit issued" equipment from one unit to the next.
It is commonplace for deployed military units in all services to turn over custody of equipment/assets remaining in place within a units area of operation (AOR). Currently, the only means of transferring equipment within WM is to use the unit "return" module then reissue the equipment to another unit. This method forces personnel at the warehouse validate the items returned even though they do not have "eyes on" the subject equipment and it makes them accountable if items were actually missing.
Hard copy DD 1149s are currently in use at NEIC as a stop gap measure for deployed unit to unit transfers but it cannot reflect accurately in DPAS WM.
Recommended
Add the capability within WM for a unit to unit transfer including the ability for the deployed receiving officer to sign custody documents for equipment turned over by another unit possessing equipment which was originally issued from the parent command warehouse.
