The DTB is arranged by the
following classes of supply:

The current electronic version
of the DTB can be found in the
Support Planning Integrated
Data Enterprise Readiness
System (SPIDERS):
the dtb
provides
nsn-level
detail for
critical

equipment
managed by
the dla.
by using the dtb,
deploying or
deployed units
can obtain up-to-
date information
on supplies and
repair parts
needed to
execute missions.
in today’s fast-paced
world, many hard copy
publications are out of
date by the time they
roll off the presses.
that’s why the defense logistics
agency (dla) publishes the
deployment Tool book (dtb)
online and updates it
daily
.
