Department of the Army AR 700-142 — Army Regulation AR 700-142 Type Classification, Materiel Release, Fielding & Transfer Manual PDF (EN)

Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com curricula can be developed and students can be trained. MR for training may include prototype or test materiel, materiel manufactured under conditions other than normal production, materiel that is incomplete (major components missing or defective), and/or materiel where one or more of the requirements for FMR have not been met.

Before TMR approval, the PM will ensure that selected MR activities such as safety (table 4–1, activities 1–16), availability of spare/repair parts, technical documentation, responsibility for maintenance support (table 4–1, activities 26, 27, 29, and 32), and the other conditions that limit the use of the materiel (table 4–1 other activities as required) will be identified and accepted by the trainer (table 4–1, activity 23). The functional authority shall tailor the required activities based upon the scope of the training materiel and will use criteria from table 4–2 to evaluate the activities.

The PM may tailor the criteria outlined in table 4–2 with the consent of the functional authority for the activity. A TMR procured against capabilities documents will be released under the FMR or CMR procedures specified above. Providing materiel to using units who will train with that equipment as part of their mission requires a full or conditional release. All TMRs will be entered into the MRTS (see para 4–13). 4–12. Prepostioning of materiel Materiel proposed for release will remain under the control and accountability of the PM until release approval is granted. a.

Materiel may be prepositioned before MR is approved, with the approval of the MR authority, MDA, GC, and IMCOM garrison commander. b. The lead PM is responsible for all costs associated and incurred by the GC and IMCOM garrison with respect to prepositioning of equipment/materiel. c. Prepositioning materiel does not imply permission to hand off materiel to GC. d. The MRA may delegate the approval of follow-on prepositioning actions. e. A limited amount of assets may be transferred for the purposes of ceremonies and demonstrations without MRA approval; however, upon conclusion of the ceremony or demonstration, the assets must be returned and processed under the formal MR effort. f.

Security requirements for property control and accountability must be identified. 4–13. Materiel release tracking system The applicable MRA will use the AEPS MRTS to create, maintain, track, and report all MR actions/activities. a. The MRTS contains the following: (1) All MR actions that have been approved since April 2000. (2) Major or significant systems, at the discretion of the MR coordinator prior to April 2000. (3) All open conditional releases with applicable get-well plans, regardless of age. (4) All forecasted releases. b.

At each command, the MR coordinators, in coordination with the PM, are responsible for inputting data into the MRTS, to include all updates and quarterly forecast information. Contact the local MR coordinator for more informa- tion on AEPS. The MRTS is at https://aeps.ria.army.mil and requires a logon identification and password. c. Begin forecasting when the program reaches MS C or 24 months prior to FRP date. d. A get-well plan is required for all systems under CMR and lists each condition that precluded an FMR.

The plan includes each issue to be resolved, the interim solution, the projected get-well date for each of the conditions, and the projected date for the FMR when all conditions are eliminated. In addition, it identifies the functional authority (the originator or an agency designated by the originator) to certify when the condition is corrected. All issues will be assigned a category (see DA Pam 700–142, para 2–4 c (2)). Only conditions in the get-well plan will be reviewed when converting from CMR to FMR. e. A copy of each approved MR memorandum/document will be posted to the MRTS at http://aeps.ria.army.mil, and the following will be notified: (1) ASA(ALT) (SAAL–ZL, SAAL–ZB).

(2) ASA(I&E). (3) Commander, AMC (Operations–FAM). (4) DCS, G–4 (DALO–Z). (5) DCS, G–3/5/7 (DAMO–FMR). (6) CIO/G–6 (SAIS–GK). (7) DCS, G–8 (DAPR–FD). (8) Commander, ATEC (CSTE–DCSOPS/ADMIN). (9) Commander, TRADOC (ATBO–HS). 4–14.
