Purpose, in the publication’s words

This publication implements DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE POLICY DIRECTIVE (DAFPD) 24-3, MANAGEMENT, OPERATION AND USE OF TRANSPORTATION VEHICLES. It establishes Air Force Vehicle Management (AFVM) procedures and directs the use of the DoD-directed Fleet Management Information System (FMIS) and supporting data systems. The Enterprise Logistics Management System (ELMS) is the DoD-directed Fleet Management Information System for Maintenance, Utilization and Warehouse functions and the Accountable Property System of Record (APSR) for Air Force accountable vehicle assets. The terms ELMS and DPAS used in this publication may be considered synonymous with FMIS. This publication applies to the entire DAF, the United States Air Force (USAF), the United States Space Force (USSF), the Air Force Reserve (AFR), the Air National Guard (ANG), all DAF civilian employees, and those with a contractual obligation to abide by the terms of DAF issuances;
