IUID Benefits Expected
DoD’s IUID policy was designed to help the defense community –
- Save taxpayer dollars through increased productivity and efficiency:
- Provide improved item visibility for the warfighter for operational planning
- Lower the total life-cycle costs of items acquired and managed
- Provide item visibility regardless of the weapon system or who owned the item
- Supply item data needed for top-level logistics and engineering analysis
- Facilitate issuance of a clean audit opinion as required by the 1990 Chief Financial Officers' Act by providing an accurate data source for determining value and accountability of property and equipment
- Improve access to historical item data across the life cycle from system design to disposal

They were those that would have wept to step barefoot into reality....”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
