This October, the Logistics Modernization Program (LMP) completed its third and final deployment to more than 12,500 additional users at 29 locations at the Army Materiel Command’s (AMC) Tank Automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM), Army Sustainment Command (ASC), and Joint Munitions and Lethality (JM&L) Command. Today, the LMP can proudly say that it serves approximately 25,000 users at nearly 50 locations worldwide.

On November 1, AMC commanding general Anne Dunwoody signed the memo to officially transition third deployment to the sustainment phase, which means the LMP system as a whole is now in full sustainment mode for all three deployments and focused on supporting improvements, enhancements, and expanded capabilities—and really making the system hum —at AMC’s depots and arsenals, and across the industrial base.

One of LMP’s greatest features is its ability to continuously find efficiencies for the Army. With third deployment, the LMP replaced or eliminated legacy national-level logistics Army systems, to include eight major instances of the Commodity Command Standard System (CCSS) and 42 instances of the Standard Depot System (SDS) —no small feat given the breadth, depth and history of these legacy programs. By retiring legacy, the LMP has achieved efficiencies, including annual contractor support savings for CCSS and SDS sustainment estimated at $28.7 million.

Because the LMP is now fully fielded, it delivers significant cost avoidance or savings to the Army, including increased savings on Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and interface costs, as well as inventory reduction and reduced obsolescence of inventory.

Bottom line—the LMP is up and running, delivering benefits to the Army and making sure Warfighters have what they need, when and where they need it.
