Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com Table 5–1 Total package fielding categories Category Title Description Notes: 1 In Categories II and III TPF, support items other than those for the new equipment (such as MTOE shortages and OSE) will need to be negotiated and are not automatically the responsibility of the PM. e. Four designated levels of TPF system complexity exist. All systems fielded under TPF Category I will be identified by level as described in table 5–2. The level of complexity affects the PM and GC actions needed to successfully field and deploy an operationally ready and fully supportable system. The need for formal fielding is also affected by the complexity of the system.
No matter what complexity, level, or density of TPF, the PM will pay all costs for deprocessing and fielding of TPF materiel. Table 5–2 Total package fielding system complexity Level Description 5–14. Optional application of total package fielding The PM will determine if TPF will be used for the following: a. Materiel systems with a different national item identification number (NIIN) but the same LIN fielded to fill a replenishment requirement or an increased authorization. b. Modification work order and kits for systems currently on hand in a field unit. An MWO fielding plan is used to develop an agreement to field and install MWO kits on fielded systems.
Policy and procedures for the MWO fielding plans are in AR 750–10. c. System modifications (hardware, firmware, software) with 25 percent or less change in components or support requirements. d. The CTA/discretionary items, except for deployable CTA as outlined in CTA 50–909, authorized only for 31 AR 700–142 • 26 March 2008 I Materiel system fielding Includes the system and all ASIOE identified in the BOIP. It also includes the authorized/ computed TMDE, STTE, Army authenticated operator, maintenance and parts TMs for equipment new to the units, the computed initial issue spare/repair parts, and any special mission kits required.
Category I TPF is fielding to the authorization changes in the MTOE or TDA resulting from the new materiel system BOIP. II Unit activation PM of the primary mission equipment for the unit will field all items of equipment to make the unit operationally ready to deploy. Entire MTOE or TDA requirements will be provided to minimum C–3 equipment on hand (EOH) fill (see AR 220–1), unless otherwise directed by HQDA. The fielding support packages will include the primary system, ASIOE, TMDE, STTE, organizational support equipment (OSE), deployable CTA, and all computed initial issue spare/repair parts and a starter set of equipment technical publications.
A formal fiel- ding is required for all TPF–II unit activation (TPF–II). TPF–II is fielding to the authoriza- tions in the MTOE/TDA. III Unit conversion TPF is equipment driven. The TPF–III unit conversion will be specifically directed by the DCS, G–3/5/7 (DAMO–FD) to facilitate the smooth transition from one MTOE/TDA to an- other. The designated PM will field all additional items of equipment to make the unit ready to deploy under the new MTOE/TDA. Just as under TPF–I, all MTOE/TDA require- ments will be provided to a minimum C–3 EOH unless otherwise directed by HQDA. A for- mal fielding is required. TPF–III is fielding to the authorizations in the MTOE/TDA minus the assets on hand.
1 A low-density simple system is an end item with limited or no support item requirements. Fielding will involve little or no ASIOE, TMDE, STTE, or spare/repair parts. No formal fielding is required unless weapons or sensitive items are involved. 2 A high-density simple system is an end item with little or no support requirements that will be fielded in high density and/or to a large number of users. This system does not drive plus-ups of other support equipment in the receiving units. The system may have a formal fielding, as determined by the PM, as coordinated with the fielding and/or sup- porting command.
3 A low-density or limited support complex system is a complex end item with ASIOE, TMDE, or STTE, and some spare/repair part support requirements. These systems are often low density or one of a kind fielding. The system may have a formal fielding, as determined by agreement between the PM and GC. 4 An extensive support complex system is a major materiel system comprising a primary mission capability and involv- ing extensive ASIOE, TMDE, STTE, and spare/repair part support requirements. A formal fielding is required.
