In the aerospace and defense industries, an end item is considered a final combination of end products, components, parts, and or materials that are ready for their intended use. This includes ships, tanks, mobile machine shops, aircrafts, and other critical Department of Defense vehicles and machines. Sometimes called major end items, end items make up a low percentage of the total line items in the armed forces inventory despite making up a high percentage of its spending. Because of this high cost and their high importance to critical combat operations, end items are controlled through chains of command.
During wartime, the distribution of end items is controlled by the commander and staff of the specific theater. This is known as the Theater Army Material Management Command (TAMMC). All major end items are command-controlled, and supply requisitions are routed via the TAMMC. Acquisition of major end items is managed by the National Inventory Control Point (NICP), and the degree of management is dependent on the cost and complexity of the specific item. Also, if depot maintenance of an end item is deemed necessary, it will be handled by the NICP. As no two conflicts or wars are ever the same, the management, distribution, and use of end items is an important aspect of the armed forces responsibilities.
