Manpower The personnel strength (military and civilian) that is available to the Army. Manpower refers to the consideration of the net effect of Army systems on overall human resource requirements and authorizations (spaces) to ensure that each system is affordable from the standpoint of manpower.
It includes analysis of the number of people (including contractors) needed to operate, maintain, repair, and support each new system being acquired, including maintenance and supply personnel, and personnel to support and conduct training. It requires a determination of the Army manpower changes generated by the system, comparing the new manpower needs with those of the old systems being replaced, and an assessment of the impact of the changes on the total manpower limits of the Army.
MANPRINT (Manpower and Personnel Integration) The comprehensive technical effort to identify and integrate all relevant information and considerations regarding the full range of manpower, personnel, training, human factors engineering, system safety, health hazards, and soldier survivability into the system development and acquisition process to improve soldier performance, total system performance, and reduce the cost of ownership to an affordable level throughout the system’s entire life cycle.
MANPRINT Assessment M A N P R I N T A s e s s m e n t s a r e p r e p a r e d u n d e r t h e a u t h o r i t y o f t h e O D C S P E R a n d a d d r e s s u n r e s o l v e d c r i t i c a l MANPRINT issues to the milestone decision authority for ASARCs, IT OIPTs, and other acquisition decision reviews. Assessments will normally assign a RED (R), AMBER (A) or GREEN (G) rating. a. Red (R). Major problems identified (show stopper) with no solution identified or solution being implemented with less than satisfactory results projected by the next milestone date. b. Amber (A).
Significant or minor problems identified, with a solution or work-around plan expected to be completed by the next major milestone date. c. Green (G). No problems. All actions on schedule. MANPRINT exit criteria MANPRINT exit criteria are specific minimum requirements that are capable of empirical and/or objective measure- ment that must be demonstrated before a system or program is ready to transition to the next phase of its acquisition process. MANPRINT exit criteria typically link human performance to total system performance and life cycle cost, becoming a priority subset of total system requirements for a particular acquisition phase.
Other MANPRINT exit criteria may require demonstration of a particular outcome (for example, a performance-based demonstration of the f e a s i b i l i t y o f a p a r t i c u l a r t r a i n i n g c o n c e p t ) . M A N P R I N T e x i t c r i t e r i a a r e n o r m a l l y w r i t t e n b y t h e I C T o r t h e MANPRINT Working Integrated Product Team (WIPT)–often in coordination with the T&E IPT–and documented in the SMMP or other tracking document. MANPRINT issues MANPRINT representatives support the IPT process by identifying and elevating MANPRINT related issues to the PM, the combat developer, and the TRADOC System Manager (TSM) for risk management, mitigation or issue resolution.
Unresolved critical issues are addressed in MANPRINT Assessments to the milestone decision authority for ASARCs, IT OIPTs, and other acquisition decision reviews. The PM will address the issues, their impact on supportability, and life cycle costs, and their planned resolution in the Modified Integrated Program Summary (MIPS). Issues are defined as critical, major, or concern. a. Critical. An issue regarding one or more of the MANPRINT domains, which warrants immediate attention/ resolution to preclude serious risk to the program and the Army, regarding one or more of the following areas of risk:
High probability for catastrophic injury or death to the crew or other friendly personnel; seriously degraded mission performance or effectiveness; the requirement for major unprogrammed MPT resources; or jeopardized ability of the MPT community (DCSPER, TRADOC, PERSCOM, etc.) to support system fielding with trained available personnel. Critical unresolved issues will be addressed in a MANPRINT Assessment and reported to the MDA. Critical issues often result in an overall RED rating to the program (that is, a recommendation that the program not be allowed to proceed to the next phase until the issues are resolved or the risks have been mitigated). b. Major.
An issue regarding one or more of the MANPRINT domains that at the time of the rating will not preclude the program from proceeding to the next acquisition phase. Major issues often differ from those deemed as critical in that the degree of severity or the probability for occurrence is lower, or there is adequate time within the program schedule to resolve the issue or mitigate the risk. c. Concern. Concerns are potential issues or areas of risk regarding one or more of the MANPRINT domains lacking sufficient supporting data or analyses. Actions to provide data and/or analyses should be accomplished as early 29 AR 602–2 • 1 June 2001
