Are Large unit Forced Distributors authorized to utilize the small unit EFDP process?

Large unit Forced Distributors are not authorized to utilize the small unit EFDP process, primarily because the processes and policies are designed for different operational scopes and administrative structures. The small unit EFDP (Expedited Field Distribution Process) is tailored to address the needs and capabilities of smaller units, offering a streamlined approach that may not be applicable or effective for larger units with more complex logistics and distribution requirements.

In practice, larger units typically have established systems and processes that cater to their size and operational tempo, which differ significantly from the needs of smaller units. This distinction ensures that each unit operates within a framework that is aligned with its operational realities and requirements, thereby enhancing efficiency and effectiveness in fulfilling their missions. Consequently, allowing large units to adopt the EFDP designed for smaller units could lead to inefficiencies or complications that would not be conducive to their operational success.
