Description:
ELMS currently lacks the ability for Warehouse Managers to upload and mass process lists of required items for Materiel Release Orders (MROs). Each NSN and quantity must be entered and executed individually, creating an inefficient, error-prone process that delays materiel movement, increases manpower burden, and reduces responsiveness to urgent operational requirements. Without a Speed to Release capability, ELMS cannot meet the Marine Corps’ expectations for rapid, scalable, and accurate logistics support in a contested operating environment. Failure to implement this capability creates a significant deficiency in ELMS: the system cannot efficiently support large-scale deployments, surge requirements, or time-sensitive missions that demand immediate bulk materiel release. This gap undermines ELMS’s ability to achieve its core mission of improving end-to-end logistics readiness and risks stakeholder confidence in the program’s modernization efforts. By closing this gap, the Marine Corps will gain a faster, more reliable, and policy-compliant release process that enhances both operational readiness and long-term ELMS success.

To support the design, development, and validation of the proposed Speed to Release capability, a detailed requirements list has been prepared and is included as Attachment A to this Business Requirements Document. The file, titled "GAP 106_BRD_ELMS_USMC_MARCORLOGCOM_1.b Speed to Release Requirement Listing", provides a structured breakdown of all functional requirements aligned to PMI standards. Each requirement is organized by process category, description, step number, and requirement ID, and is written as a testable “shall” statement to ensure traceability, compliance, and clarity for developers, testers, and program managers. This attachment serves as the authoritative baseline for system design and future enhancements related to the Speed to Release functionality.
