Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com Deprocessing Deprocessing of TPF materiel includes actions such as unpackaging, filling with oil and fuel, charging of batteries, and preparing for handoff to the gaining unit. Displaced (cascaded) equipment Army equipment redistributed within a command or between commands as a result of the Army modernization process. Most of this equipment is identified by DCS, G–8 (DAPR–FDR) on the force development managed LIN list. Displaced equipment fielding (DEF) Fielding of displaced equipment is funded from the operations and maintenance, Army account.
The equipping PEG programs and resources fielding of displaced equipment on the HQDA (DAPR–FD) managed LIN list. Fielding costs can include DET costs, care of supplies in storage, supply depot operations, second destination transportation and deprocessing, spare and repair parts, ASIOE, additional authorized list items, STTE, travel, and other costs related directly to redistribution. Displaced equipment training (DET) Training provided to users and supporters of displaced systems on how to operate, maintain, and employ displaced equipment. DOD Information Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP) The DOD DIACAP is also referred to as the C&A Process (Certification and Accreditation).
This process is a means of analyzing a system to see how well it meets all the policies and regulations levied against it, from various sources in terms of security. These sources can be DOD-level policies down to local-level policies. It is a security process and evaluation. A system is defined by its security boundary. A system can be a tactical system, a local area network, or a group of local area networks. The system can be located in one place or geographically dispersed as long as a security boundary can be defined and maintained within all the security regulations.
Completing the DIACAP proves a security analysis has been done on a system and security risks along with mitigating strategies have been identified. Effectiveness The overall degree of mission accomplishment by a system under realistic conditions (tactics, threat, personnel, battlefield and natural environments, and so on). Fielding command The subordinate command, matrix support, or contracted organization, agency, or activity responsible for the fielding of a materiel system. Firmware Software stored in read-only memory (ROM) or programmable ROM.
Easier to change than hardware but harder than software stored on disk, firmware is often responsible for the behavior of a system when it is first switched on. A typical example would be a “monitor” program in a microcomputer that loads the full operating system from disk or from a network and then passes control to it. First unit equipped date (FUED) The first scheduled date for handoff of a new materiel system in a gaining command. Fit The ability of an item to physically interface or interconnect with or become an integral part of another item. Form The shape, size, dimensions, mass, weight, and other physical parameters that uniquely characterize an item.
For software, form denotes the language and media. Function The action or actions an item is designed to perform. Functional authority The policy proponent or office with responsibility for certifying that the activity has been performed verified and accepted when appropriate. 59 AR 700–142 • 26 March 2008
