One of the problems with tracking logistics is the Army refused to invest in computers for decades. I remember in Basrah in 2004 they were still using pen and paper to completely track all their GSE. The RAF had been doing the job electronically by then for over 15 years. In fact the new and stupidly expensive JAMES system is being brought in because they didn't want to use a system already used by the RAF and Navy. A system already paid for and easily adaptable to what they require. Instead the rest of us are being forced into using an inferior system to suit their childish prejudices and to try and find ways to negate the loss of capability when the GEMS system currently in use goes out of service.
