Logistics support responsibilities, including maintenance allocation chart (MAC), will be consistent with established Army procedures . 7. Material support hardware/software (i.e., tools; petroleum, oils, and lubricants; test equipment; training manuals) shall be allocated to the correct level in number and type for efficient functioning of the logistics concept. 8. Appropriately skilled supply and maintenance personnel shall be assigned to the proper level and location . Note: Requirements 6, 7, and 8 are weak. They do not relate to the system.
They are too generic and have no meaning. 9. Special tools, if necessary, will be available at the required level. Note: This requirement does not provide a useful measure or standard for judging the adequacy of support. 10. Test measurement and diagnostic equipment (TMDE) and calibration equipment will be standard Army equipment (listed in the Army’s TMDE Register, DA Pam 700-20). Note: this requirement is not useful for measuring the adequacy of support. If this particular equipment is essential, the explanation should be given. Otherwise this appears to be an unnecessarily constraining requirement, not based on performance. 11.
When rigged on a modular platform and delivered to the ground by parachute during tactical airborne operation, the vehicle must be capable of being derigged by the using unit and available to the assault phase of the operation (within 15 minutes). Note: this requirement should be rewritten to reflect a derigging within 15 minutes at least X percent of the time. 12. Grasping devices and tiedowns must enable the lightweight collapsible pillow tank to be positioned and secured against damage and instability (i.e., rolling, creeping, or sliding) when transported full, partially filled, or empty. Note: The emphasis needs to be on securing the tank, not on the specific means for securing it. 13.
When filled, the lightweight collapsible pillow tank must not weigh more than 1,500 pounds and must be capable of being transported externally by CH-47 cargo or UH-60 utility helicopters. Note: The specific weight constraint is not an appropriate measure here. 6-14
