The Joint Operational Stock (JOS) is a centrally-located inventory of Special-Operations- peculiar weapons and equipment, managed by the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). New procurement of JOS weapons and equipment is currently planned by manually prioritizing the item-wise shortfalls experienced in the JOS inventory during the previous year. This method has not always provided convincing justification for finding, as indicated by the loss of such finding in fiscal year 1999. Also, new technology and other items not historically demanded must be handled in an ad-hoc fashion. We introduce a procurement planning tool that seeks to maximize the ability to completely loadout special operations missions by coordinating year-by-year procurement of individual items. Rather than focus just on history, we concentrate on supporting future missions over an entire multi-year planning horizon. The plans are quickly suggested by a simple greedy myopic heuristic that we show to produce almost-optimal advice.
