Prep RFIDs for Return
• Remove the tag from the vehicle or container
after it reaches its final destination.
• Turn the tag in to the first element of your chain
of command that has a Standard Army Retail
Supply System (SARSS) computer. They will use
their SARSS ITV software to remove the tag’s data
from the In-Transit Visibility server.
(If this step
isn’t possible, follow the next step.)
• Deactivate the RFID tag by reversing its battery.
Help the supply
system get you
the right stuff
at the right
time.
.. deactivate
and turn in
all
RFID tags.
if circum-
stances require,
you can send
deactivated
RFID tags to
either of these
stateside
addresses…
in Iraq
deactivated
tags are
sent to…
Here’s
what to
do…
Make sure
your unit does
its part to
get the tags
back in
the system.

Logistics Management…
A Key to Faster Resupply
it’s
easy
to blame the
supply
system
for
delays.
Just
remember that
you’re
part
of the system.
Unfortunately,
once units receive
their shipment many
are treating the RFID
tags like
trash.
in-bound containers
and vehicles are
all marked with
Radio Frequency
IDentification (RFID)
tracking tags.
The tags
identify
what’s
in a shipment,
where
it is
and its
destination.
Soldiers in the
big sandpit know
the challenge
of getting
supplies on
time, in the right
place and in the
right quantity.
RFIDs
are
reusable, but
they’re in short
supply because
they aren’t being
sent back from
the sandpit.
