Where to Find ALARACTs
Some of you need to track down All Army Activity (ALARACT) messages. The Army
keeps an online database in AKO of ALARACTs going back to 1990. Folders are filed by
year. Grab your CAC and check it out at:
While you’re there, be sure to save the main folder to your AKO favorites so you can
find it again.

Logistics Management…
Give Supply System a Helping Hand
are you
tired
of not having
repair parts
on hand?
frustrated
when you hear your
unit’s budget is insufficient to
repair equipment?
here’s one
way to help
improve
the
situation…
whenever you make a local
purchase using an Impac card,
be sure to enter a “post-
post/dha” (demand history
add) transaction in sams-1e.
that way, your command can
track your unit’s spending
and pass on accurate demand
information to the supply
system.
then, as demands build over time,
the wholesale supply system is
better able to support your unit’s
materiel needs.
failure to enter manual
requisitions for local
purchase items can
result in
reduced
unit
funding for maintaining
and operating vehicles,
watercraft or equipment.
step-by-step instructions for doing
post-post/dha transactions are found in
the supply section of the
standard army
maintenance system—level 1 enhanced end
user manual
(eum) (also called aIsm-25-
L21-ahn-zzz-em, aug 2005).
the manual can
be found inside the
sams program.
consistently reporting
Impac purchases
helps ensure your
unit’s operating and
maintenance costs are
accurately captured for
annual budget reviews.
