Logistics — FM 700-80

The purpose of this manual is to provide a reference on Army logistics management doctrine. It is intended for use as a reference by commanders, staff officers, and logistics operating personnel, including those responsible for training, operations, materiel readiness, and materiel development; national inventory control points (NICPs); service item control centers (SICCs), agencies and activities; and higher levels. This manual may be used for the development of supporting doctrinal or training literature for use below major command level and as a text in advanced courses of instruction in the Army school system. This manual provides logistics guidance for commanders and logistics staff officers of the organizational levels stated above in the same vein that field manuals (FMs) of the 100 series provide guidance to the major tactical commanders and operations staff officers on how to fight.
