What is the Department of Defense Activity Address Directory (DoDAAD)?
The DoDAAD is the master datsbase that contains the names and addresses and other data about activities that is needed by business systems. It is an interactive database table located at the Defense Automatic Addressing System Center (DAASC). The DoDAAD provides a single authoritative source (see DoDAAC review/reengineering memorandum) of address information for DoD Component application systems data requirements. The address data is used for shipping, billing, and identification purposes by Military Services, Federal Agencies, and civil agencies. Business application systems requiring DoDAAD data to support their business processes include (but not limited to): supply chain, material management, distribution, transportation, maintenance, financial, and acquisition systems.
