The term MILS, Military Standard(s), is used to describe legacy 80-column record position transactions embodied in the Military Standard Requisitioning and Issue Procedures (MILSTRIP), Military Standard Transaction Reporting and Accounting Procedures (MILSTRAP), and Military Standard Billing System (MILSBILLS) manuals. The overarching term is Defense Logistics Standard Systems (DLSS) which is a term that also refers to the MILS procedures. The DLSS are being replaced by Defense Logistics Management System (DLMS) manual which documents these procedures in a combined maual along with use of the DLMS replacement transactions, in American National Standards Institue (ANSI) Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X12 format that contain unlimited record positions. The DLSS to DLMS cross reference can be found on the DLA Management Standards Office web site at: http://www.dla.mil/j-6/dlmso/eApplications/LogDataAdmin/dlssdlmscrossreftable.asp.
