UNIFORM MATERIAL
MOVEMENT AND ISSUE
PRIORITY SYSTEM (UMMIPS)
Uniform Material Movement and Issue Priority
System (UMMIPS) is a vital and integral part of the
MILSTRIP system. MILSTRIP provides forms and
procedures for requisitioning material. UMMIPS sets
priorities for the issuance and movement of material.
Each activity that requests resources for logistics
systems, such as transportation, would like for its
request to take top priority. However, requests must be
processed according to the military importance of the
activity and the urgency of the need. Each activity
indicates this priority information by a force/activity
designator (F/AD) and an urgency of need designator
(UND). These designators determine the priority
designator (PD) assigned to the requisition.
Force/Activity Designator
A force/activity designator (F/AD) is a Roman
numeral (I-V) that identifies and categorizes a force or
activity on the basis of its military importance
(fig. 7-14). NAVSUP P-485 outlines the assignment of
F/ADs.
