The 1st Infantry Division main support battalion's SARSS site received ULLS-generated repair parts requests from its customers all over Germany. In the past, the battalion received those requests on 5 1/4-inch floppy diskettes, which they then transported by truck from the ULLS computers to the SARSS computer for processing. The objective supply capability helped speed the process for about 30
. percent of the transactions, but SARSS remained the main entry point for unit class IX requests. Many people would say that the floppy disk is outdated thanks to the new generation of information storage.
