…or afloat, ABS is
the system of choice.

using the ABS

You used
the ABS?I

DAVS.
Using the Automated
Battlebook System (ABS)
and the Deployment Asset
Visibility System (DAVS), the
warfighter can overcome
the confusion.
Equipment lists for
repair parts,
sets, kits and outfits
(SKOs) and basic issue
items (BII) are all
included in ABS.
For soldiers deploying to Bosnia or
Kosovo, DAVS is available.
Both are logistics planning tools to assist
the warfighter in evaluating what equipment
is available in prepositioned stocks.
Both ABS and DAVS include
field manuals, checklists
and a text library for unit
deployments.
ABS and DAVS mobile training teams
are available for deploying units on
request and are fully funded by
Forscom.
