The U.S. Army is partnering with industry and academia on a multi-phase CTMA initiative to develop effective and sustainable processes for reducing the time and expense needed to ensure source control end products have the necessary spares and special tools to meet product delivery schedules and customer needs.  These processes must be flexible and sustainable in order to respond to material defects and various economic and geopolitical events which induce unexpected shortages and transportation delays.  The goal is to deliver spare parts and special tools that are reliable, cost-effective, and available at the right locations and times to meet vehicle maintenance and readiness requirements.
