Following this, the materiel was offered concurrently to the Navy and Air Force. U.

Then each service notified PURA of excess materiel in one specific area, resulting in more than $30 million of materiel available for n redistribution. Without PURA, each of the armed services would have had to requisition, ship and store the items separately, often duplicating efforts. As a result, PURA provides not only cost saving, but additional savings because of reductions in paperwork and operating this spring. PUR A was created as a joint service agency to redistrilxite idle materiel on a theatre-wid- e scale to solve the problem of abundance of an item in one area and a scarcity of it in another area. Under the operational control of the Army's 2d Logistical Command, PURA, with the help of computers, is developing a giant paper inventory of items that are lying idle. Each service then will have its choice of materiel it can use. THE 2D Log, commanded by manhours. When PURA is fully developed, logistics people will have a complete listing of all appropriate excess stocks in the Pacific Theatre, so that distribution of materiel can lie managed for maximum efficiency and savings.
