Frequently Asked Questions
Does DoD have any formal training on MILSTRIP for the FMS system?
MILSTRIP procedures for FMS are different than those for DoD. DSCU provides MILSTRIP training that is specific to FMS materiel transfers. Most DoD schools do not provide this training. Practical training on MILSTRIP is available through two DSCU courses:
SCM-CS (Logistics Support) Course, open to US Government, US defense industry, and international purchaser personnel.
SCM-IL (International Purchaser Logistics) Course, which is open only to international purchasers.
What if I have a MILSTRIP question?
You can use the "Ask an Instructor" feature on the DSCU website. If you have a question on a specific FMS supply document, you should contact the relevant FMS case manager.
Where can I obtain copies of the reference material mentioned in the Learning Guide?
DSCU publishes the Military Standard Requisition and Issue Procedures for Foreign Military Sales
reference guide which can be downloaded from the Publications Tab of the DSCU website. A list of the formal DoD publications which govern and explain MILSTRIP and related logistics functions is found at Appendix X.
