In these cases, the PM will develop a plan to achieve a FMR at the FRP decision and address all LRIP materiel previously fielded. (d) A post FRP program prepares to field an upgrade that meets the applicability criteria for MR (for example, a software version upgrade that meets the criteria to be a “software materiel release,” a post-FRP hardware block upgrade, a modification work order (MWO), or modification). In these cases, the PM will develop a plan to achieve a FMR. (2) A get-well plan is established that addresses each condition of release and plans for achieving an FMR.
The PM must obtain GC acceptance of the established get-well plan and manage all residual risks as part of the CMR. The get- well plan is a listing of each condition, the interim workaround, the date the condition is expected to be corrected by the PM, the functional authority that imposed the condition and the funding status to correct the condition. All get-well plans will be documented within the MRTS (see paras 4–8 and 4–13 for further guidance). c. Urgent materiel release.
A UMR is a limited certification that the materiel meets minimum safety requirements, is suitable based upon a requirements memorandum directed by an ONS or the DCS, G–3/5/7 (meets minimal stated performance objectives), and is supportable logistically (may not be Army preference) when used within stated operational parameters. The UMR allows the PM to field the materiel rapidly to meet a capability short fall. Detailed criteria for UMR can be found in paragraph 4–10. d. Training materiel release.
A TMR is a limited certification that provides authorization to a PM to field or issue the materiel to TRADOC/GC schools and training sites for the expressed purpose of curriculum development and training of Soldiers. (1) A TMR may include— (a) Prototype or test materiel. (b) Materiel manufactured under conditions other than normal production. (c) Materiel that is incomplete (major components missing or defective). (d) Materiel where one or more of the requirements for full release have not been met.
(2) Before TMR approval, the PM will ensure that critical issues such as safety, availability of spare/repair parts, technical documentation, responsibility for maintenance support, and the other limitations of the materiel are identified and accepted by the trainer. (3) A training item procured against a requirements document (initial capabilities document, CDD, CPD) will be released under normal MR categories (full, conditional, urgent) specified above. (4) The requirements for a TMR can be found in paragraph 4–11. 4–5.
Full materiel release requirements The PM will ensure that all required MR activities are incorporated into the acquisition program baseline and accomplished prior to FRP decision review. a. Provide the documentation listed in table 4–1 to the functional authority to certify completion of the required activity. The MR functional authority shall tailor the required activities with the program office. b. Non-developmental business systems require Activities 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 14, 16, 17–21, 23, 24, and 26–32 only. c. A TMR will use selected activities from table 4–1 as outlined in paragraph 4–11. 16 AR 700–142 • 26 March 2008
