Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com d. The MFP will identify any contractor support services being fielded and state the duration of such support. e. A separate MFP will be prepared for each gaining GC, or a single MFP will be prepared with appendixes tailoring it to each GC. The GC and fielders will resolve issues as early in the process as possible. Initial deployment to Army prepositioned stocks (APS) requires a separate MFP or an appendix adapted to the basic MFP.
When DA materiel is to be fielded to another military service or agency, an MFP, provided upon request only, will be modified to meet the gaining organizations fielding requirements and will be staffed with a suitable MON. Other basic procedures for MFPs are the following: (1) Developmental systems may have an initial draft MFP, an updated draft, and a final draft. As the MSP and the MFA are finalized and added to the final draft MFP, it becomes the final MFP for fielding to the GC. The PM will staff each version of the MFP with the GC. (2) The GCs will staff each version of the MFP with the gaining and supporting units.
The GC will ensure that each gaining unit involved receives a copy of the final MFP and MFA 6 months prior to the projected receipt of the new system. For commercial and nondevelopmental item programs, the final MFP may not be available until 100 days before fielding. For other accelerated acquisition programs, the fielding and GCs will negotiate realistic, attainable milestone schedules based on the time constraints of the program. (3) All MFPs will be coordinated according to DA Pam 700–142, table E–1. (4) An MFP is not required when a new item is placed directly into depot storage as replacement stock for current items.
(5) Any deviation from the MFP/MFA affecting the fielding process schedule will be coordinated with the GC headquarters. (6) MFPs will identify the training requirements for the logistics assistance representatives on the new system being fielded. In addition, the MFPs will identify when the logistics assistance representatives will be scheduled and which course of training they will be scheduled for. (7) GCs will staff any deviation from the MFP/MFA affecting the fielding process schedule with the gaining and supporting units. f. Follow the detailed MFP format in DA Pam 700–142, appendix E. 5–5.
Materiel fielding plan contents The content of MFPs will vary according to the complexity of the materiel system. Each MFP will be developed in accordance with guidance contained in DA Pam 700–142, appendix E. An MFP outline is shown in DA Pam 700–142, paragraph 3–3. Each MFP will include an executive summary highlighting the critical aspects of the fielding and identifying: a. The TPF category and level. b. The post fielding support concept to include interim measures. c. The maintenance concept and any applicable warranties. d. The equipment and software being displaced by the fielding. e.
Specific facility requirements, to include new or modified facility requirements to support doctrinal operation, system operation in a garrison environment, and NET. f. Include a summary of the system’s National Environmental Policy Act documentation that highlight critical environmental planning considerations for gaining installations 5–6. Mission support plans a. The MSPs are prepared by the GC based upon the official GC distribution plan and submitted to the PM on DA Form 5106 (Mission Support Plan (MSP)) in response to a MON or MFP. Automated MSPs containing the same information as required on DA Form 5106 are acceptable. b.
A separate MSP will be prepared for each end item LIN or system of systems being fielded. c. The MSP will define the planned user, maintenance, and supply support structure for the newly deployed end items. It will identify all using and support units (divisional and nondivisional) in the Active Army, the Army National Guard (ARNG), and the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) that will support the density of the system and its ASIOE as stated in the MON/MFP. This identification will include those Reserve Component combat service support units that will be assigned to the GC upon mobilization. Support units for Army prepositioned stocks being fielded will also be included.
GCs with combat service support units assigned to support GCs during mobilization will validate and provide separate MSPs. An AFSB will validate and provide a separate MSP for all fielding to APS. d. The MSP will be used by the PM to— (1) Compute initial distribution quantities to UICs authorized at company level (2) Compute initial distribution quantities to UICs for each level of support (3) Determine initial training requirements for both Active and Reserve Component units. e. The MSP will identify the automated property book and Class IX accounting system used by each GC. The PM 27 AR 700–142 • 26 March 2008
