FM 55-61 CHAPTER 2 MILSTAMP DEFINED 2—1. General a. The deployment of our armed forces in various parts of the world requires the Depart- ment of Defense to organize a logistics system so that essential supplies will reach the customer in the field when, where, and in the amount re- quired. To achieve this goal, commonality must be established between all elements of the logis- tics system, including the various modes of transportation, to insure the expeditious move- ment of shipments. For example, to avoid de- lays and excessive demurrage charges, requisi- tions must be picked, packed, marked, and ready for shipment prior to the arrival of onward transportation and terminal unloading facilities must be available upon arrival of the shipment.
