What is the main purpose of the Technical Manual Application System (TMAPS)?

The main purpose of the Technical Manual Application System (TMAPS) is to manage technical publications distribution. TMAPS enables the Navy to efficiently control and distribute technical manuals and publications, ensuring that personnel have the necessary resources available for their specific operational and maintenance needs. This is crucial for maintaining high operational readiness and providing accurate technical information to support the fleet.

The system not only facilitates the distribution of technical manuals but also helps in updating and managing the availability of these publications, which is essential for ensuring that all personnel have access to the most current and relevant information. This capability underscores the importance of proper management of technical documents in maintaining the Navy's operational effectiveness.
