Is there a date set for the integration of ULLS-A(E) and GCSS-Army?

I've been told it's an integration and I've also been told that it's a replacement. I've also been told sometime in FY18 and also FY19. Can anyone offer any clarification?

I'm at a loss, maybe COL Burroughs would have a clue.

This is a great question and I'd first pose it to your G4. They should have a copy of the fielding schedule. AMCOM and Fort Lee have links on their portal as well with fielding schedules. With that said there is some homework on your units part. There is a ton of documents on line that I would start reading about the system. But to summarize what leaders need to understand is the synchronization of Maintenance, Supply, Distribution, and the Budget. As a former CAB SPO, I would not like the new system. I am specifically referring to TBO items. I could go on for days about this subject.
Here is a test question for you or your Sr. Warrant: How long does it take for your clerk to requisition a part and your SSA receive it from wholesale? I'd be interested in the metrics your unit uses to measure performance of the entire system. And final: do not put a Re-Frad CPT as your units CLIX Buget Officer. They will be the single line of failure in your system. Shoot me a note if you ever have questions as well.

GCSS-ARMY is a system that will be replacing everything that we used in the past and will encompass everything logistics. You will also need an AESIP account to support you just like LIW used to. As for the fielding, I believe there's a schedule on FT. Lee's website somewhere. I've heard good and bad things about the new system but it will help you in the long run. It will require some getting used to (including terminology), but many civilian contractors use this same program (under different names). Once you decide to go into the civilian world, you will have an easier transition.

I do not envy you 1 bit. While in Germany the unit supply controlled the PLL. beginning in '90 they dumped it back on the techs, (which was much better) We were able to id parts no longer needed and removed from the PLL inventory and created a data base so that we didnt have to stare and compare for a part number (mainly fuses)
