Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com or commercial/NDIs and production items for the logistics demonstration (LD) and supportability T&E to enable a statistically valid sample and basis for estimating sustainment requirements. s. Ensure that supportability is evaluated during the LD and user testing and validation, and ensure that deficiencies are identified and corrected prior to initial system fielding. t. Ensure that the core logistics analysis, core depot assessment (CDA)/Source of Repair (SOR) analyses, and the inter-Service (Joint Depot Maintenance Activity Group (JDMAG)) study are initiated as early as possible to ensure statutory compliance at appropriate milestone reviews. u.
Include MANPRINT requirements in logistics support strategies, concepts, and plans, and document in the SS. v. Designate a post-production software support (PPSS) activity to ensure ILS principles are also applied to software development; monitor software development to ensure supportability; and plan for software support after fielding. w. Support HQDA ILSRs. x. Centralize management of LCCS for TDAs training devices when the devices will be authorized at more than one location. Centralized management includes— (1) Planning, programming, and budgeting for resources to support LCCS and to upgrade training devices as tactics and associated weapon systems change.
(2) Negotiating, awarding, and administering contracts for LCCS. y. Employ a Level Of Repair Analysis (LORA) methodology using approved modeling tools (Computer-Adaptive Placement Assessment and Support System (COMPASS), COMPASS Lite, and so forth) to develop the initial maintenance concept. This concept shall be based on economic and noneconomic constraints and readiness require- ments; emphasize repair strategy throughout the lifecycle using engineering estimates that will be refined over time with field experience. z. Coordinate all maintenance allocation charts with the proponent schools. aa. Apply historical lessons learned from accident experience to minimize total ownership costs.
2–13. Materiel commands The principal materiel command is the U.S. Army Materiel Command (AMC) including its subordinate Life Cycle Management Commands (AMCOM LCMC, CE–LCMC, JM&L LCMC and TACOM LCMC) and the Logistics Support Activity (LOGSA). Other materiel commands include the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM); the U.S. Army Installation Management Command (IMCOM), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE); the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC); and the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Strategic Command. The commanders, materiel commands will— a.
Establish an ILS/supportability organization to ensure compliance with primary ILS policies and procedures, and provide matrix support to assigned PMs. b. Assign an ILSM, when requested by the PM, to participate in the SIPT during the development, acquisition, and execution of the SS. c. Assist the PM throughout the life cycle of the system, applying ILS principles and utilizing data collected during war time, field exercises, and peacetime operations to continue the analytical effort necessary to optimize logistics support and reduce the logistics footprint at the minimum LCC. d. In addition, the Commander, AMC will— (1) Support the ILSM with supportability analyses (SA) and LMI.
(2) Provide SA technical assistance as required to ensure that ILS considerations are applied to the design of new and modified/upgraded systems and are considered in the selection of commercial and NDI. (3) Serve as the DOD SA support activity. (4) Establish and support military and civilian career development programs for logisticians (ILS managers and specialists) and ILS-related engineers, in coordination with the DCS, G–4. (5) Provide ILS functional support to the PM through a memorandum of agreement, which will be used to detail the support to be provided. (6) Participate in the Joint Service Acquisition Logistics Standardization Program. (7) Provide a representative to the AILSEC.
(8) Provide SA through Army Materiel Systems Analysis Agency (AMSAA) to the Army Evaluation Center (AEC) and DASA (ILS) for the evaluation of logistics supportability of all ACAT level programs. (9) Provide technical guidance and support to PMs, vendors, and field Army commands on prevention and control of corrosion. (10) Support the PM in sustaining deployed materiel (hardware and software) to include supplementing CLS plan for support. (11) Provide industrial base support to ASA (ALT) and the PMs in accordance with AR 700–90. (12) Assist in the development of a BCA in support of the PBL concept. (13) Provide input to SS.
(14) Provide Single Army Logistics Enterprise (SALE) architecture support for sustainment of weapons systems. 5 AR 700–127 • 27 September 2007
