(16) Ensure interoperability through standardization of technical data and common look and feel for electronic technical manuals and interactive electronic technical manual (IETMs). (17) Provide supportability/ILS planning guidance and software tools. (18) Participate in DA ILSRs. 2–14. Combat developers The commander, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) is the Army’s principal CBTDEV. The CBTDEV for class VIII (medical materiel) is the U.S. Army Medical Department Center and School (AMEDDC&S).
Other CBTDEVs include INSCOM and Network Enterprise Technology Command/9th Army Signal Command. (NETCOM fulfills roles as a combat developer and a direct reporting unit.) CBTDEVs will develop operational and support concepts; doctrine, organization, and force structures; and will determine materiel requirements for equipping these force structures. As user representatives, CBTDEVs will ensure that system developmental efforts consider user requirements. To ensure that the supportability program fulfills the needs of the user, CBTDEVs will— a. Establish internal policies, procedures, and techniques for implementing this policy. b.
Conduct applicable supportability analyses and tradeoffs as a function of developing capabilities documents. c .

Conduct an analysis of alternatives to include alternative operating and system support concepts with specific consideration of performance-based options. e. Develop specific, measurable, and testable support-related materiel requirements or parameters based on required logistics, operational performance, LCC goals, and readiness requirements. f.
Assess the impact of the proposed system on the maintenance capabilities planned for the period in which the system will be introduced. g. Assess the concept and technology of embedded and or system health management with regard to its ability to facilitate the use embedded diagnostics, instrumentation, prognostics, and similar maintenance enablers. h. Identify key performance and related support parameters for inclusion in the capabilities documents, to include availability, reliability, maintainability, interoperability, manpower, and deployment footprint, that form the basis of the overall capability of the system to perform and endure in the required mission operational environment. i .

Incorporate system maintainability, operability, supportability, and Unique Identifier Identification (UID) consider- ations into capabilities documents. k. Document the supportability concept and requirements in the initial capability document (ICD), capabilities development document (CDD), and capabilities production document (CPD). l. Develop a rough order of magnitude LCC estimate that includes all phases of the acquisition process (through disposal) and document it in the ICD.
The LCC estimate will be updated in subsequent capabilities documents. m. Prior to Milestone B (formal program initiation), designate an ILS lead who will— (1) Form the initial SIPT and prepare the Supportability Analysis (SA). (2) Develop the initial SS using the SA, and ensure that the Product Support Strategy (PSS) is documented in the acquisition strategy. (3) Include the appropriate logistics metrics, criteria, and funding requirements in the acquisition program baseline.
(4) Develop supportability testing issues in coordination with the training developer, tester, evaluator, Army logis- tician, and other program participants; and ensuring the appropriate logistics considerations and test points are documented in the test and evaluation master plan (TEMP). (5) Participate in the SIPT after a PM and ILSM are assigned to the program. n. Participate in decision and program reviews, and DA ILSRs. o. Inform all program participants of changes affecting the supportability and environmental program planning, and fully consider logistics transformation policies. p.
Ensure establishment and implementation of training programs by the trainer to develop the skills needed for the operation and support of newly fielded systems and for sustained support. q. In coordination with the PM, ensure that user ILS requirements and constraints are coordinated and included in materiel system contractual, solicitation, and source selection documents. r. Define transportability and mobility requirements in coordination with the Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command–Transportation Evaluation Agency (MSDDC–TEA) of the materiel system and assess the unit mobility impact during the development process. s.
Establish support conditions and requirements for initial operational capability (IOC) date in coordination with the PM and gaining ACOM, ARNG, ASCC, USAR, and DRUs. t. Coordinate with the PM in determining the use of contractor support in developing the support concept; and 6 AR 700–127 • 27 September 2007
