To enhance industrial preparedness, government planners require a clear understanding of global logistics networks and issues related to cultures, customs, infrastructure, supply constraints, and logistical nuances unique to a particular country or region. This knowledge allows the Government to identify and adjust to supply chain problems in order to take appropriate corrective actions.

IBex was developed as an Industrial Preparedness Measure (IPM) in order to gain global commercial asset visibility to support US Military operations and natural disasters, and to gain access to these commercial capabilities if required. As DLA's mission is to respond quickly to worldwide events, IBex was formed to enhance strategic partnerships with industry experts, to allow government planners to leverage the expertise of the commercial sector.  Current requirement is to purchase the following Market Research Reports.
