Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com Staff synchronization officer In G–8, produces and maintains distribution plans for their equipment on the force development managed LIN list. The distribution plans are provided to the PMs and their counterparts in the Army Reserve to be used in building the POM. Staging site The area, facility, or location on an Army installation managed by IMCOM, deployed forward area base or the ARNG where all materiel fielding packages will be received and held pending release for handoff to the GC.
Starter set of publications A one-time issue of two copies of each publication (preferably in electronic or interactive electronic format) needed at the user level (unit) and at each support level involved. These publications will only be required for the system being fielded and any other end items that have not been used previously or supported by the gaining units. Suitability The degree to which a system can be supported when employed by Soldiers in an operational environment. Suitability includes reliability, availability, and maintainability, transportability, operational tempo, MANPRINT, safety, logistics, and so on.
Support items A generic term that refers to the various classes of supply that encompass the ASIOE, TMDE, ATE, TPS, STTE, TMs, training devices, and spare/repair parts used with or on a materiel system. Support list allowance computation (SLAC) The process used in the Commodity Command Standard System to generate tailored lists of initial issue spare/repair parts. Supportability That characteristic of a system and its support system design that provides for sustained system performance at a required readiness level when supported in accordance with specified concepts and procedures.
Supportability strategy (SS) Former Integrated Logistics Support Plan, a planning document addressing all elements of ILS and how the program plans to attain a safe supportable system operating as required in the military environment. Supporting command An AMC LCMC, DLA, GSA, or other wholesale managing activity that provides any materiel, services, or support equipment for the system being fielded. Survivability The capability of a system and crew to avoid or withstand a man-made hostile environment without suffering an abortive impairment of its ability to accomplish its designated mission.
Survivability considers ballistic effects; nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons; information assurance; countermeasures; electromagnetic environmental effects; obscurants; and atmosphere and vulnerability. Total life cycle system manager (TLCSM) The PM will be the single point of accountability for accomplishing program objectives for total life cycle systems management, including sustainment. The PM, as the TLCSM, is the functional element charged with the fielding mission. Further, the PM has the responsibility to ensure the system is safe, operationally suitable (including approval to operate on the Army network), and supportable prior to release to the user.
Total package fielding (TPF) The Army process to affect a total system fielding of new and modified equipment. It provides for the concurrent fielding of a materiel system and all its required support. The process aims at minimizing the logistics burden of fielding on the GC. Unit materiel fielding point (UMFP) One of the DLA Defense Distribution Region depots (New Cumberland, Red River, or Sharpe) selected to receive and consolidate TPF materiel, pending a coordinated release and shipment to a staging site or hand-off point. 62 AR 700–142 • 26 March 2008
