                SUMMARY: The USA is modifying an existing System of Records titled,
                Mobilization Common Operating Picture (MOBCOP), A0500-5 DAMO. This
                System of Records will become the DoD Mobilization Deployment
                Management Information System (MDMIS). The MDMIS supports operational
                exercises, deployments and mission movements of military forces. The
                modification will expand the System of Records for use by all the
                military services, remove duplication of effort, improve efficiency
                within the department, and enhance public transparency.
                DATES: This System of Records modification is effective upon
                publication; however, comments on the Routine Uses will be accepted on
                or before August 7, 2020. The Routine Uses are effective at the close
                of the comment period.
                ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by docket number and
                title, by any of the following methods:

                assists with order reconciliation.
