Industry: Email Alert RSS FeedOnline database helps commanders determine equipment needs
Army Logistician, Jan-Feb, 2007
Commanders preparing for deployment have a new tool available to help them determine what equipment they need to take with them. A new common online database, called the Equipment Common Operating Picture (ECOP), provides easier access to mission essential equipment lists (MEELs).
ECOP applies to all units currently deployed or deploying in the future to Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. It contains hundreds of validated MEELs; other Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA), equipment validations or authorizations; and HQDA equipping policy documents. ECOP can be used to create and submit operational needs statements digitally and to track their progress through the chain of command.
