Most minor software updates. 5–15. Funding for total package fielding a. The TPF is performed for new or significantly modified equipment that is new to the Army operational inventory. Current policy links equipment production and its initial fielding together.
For these investment end items, the procurement appropriations fund both production and initial fielding. The PM is responsible for programming and budgeting for the necessary funding. Fielding also includes the acquisition of the initial support packages of materiel, to include materiel requirements for NET, to successfully operate and maintain the new or modified system when it reaches the using unit. Funding for staging sites is reimbursable and is part of the TPF funding responsibility, as are second destination transportation funds to get the system and its support packages to the fielding site. b. The PM requisitions all required ASIOE, including fielded end items of support equipment.
Normally, the already fielded end items are separately managed. While the BOIP of the new or modified system delineates all equipment requirements, the PM identifies and funds for ASIOE end items as well as the full complement of associated initial issue items needed to support the ASIOE included in the new system TPF. The PM for the ASIOE develops, outfits, and funds all materiel requirements relating to the ASIOE configuration and availability. c. The PMs must identify computer hardware, software resources support, onsite field support and non developmen- tal software licenses and technical maintenance support costs required during the initial and continued fielding life cycle support.
PMs must plan and submit requirements for continued funding to address post deployment and production software support procedures, requirements, field support, and responsibilities to meet Warfighter mission needs. 5–16. Initial distribution for total package fielding a. Initial fielding of end items of equipment and support items to each level will be limited to those authorized by MTOE, TDA, CTA, JTA or ONS. The end-item requirements for any given system fielding are determined by the approved BOIPs that have been applied to the base TOE and the resultant change to the gaining unit MTOE/TDA from the CTU.
It also includes the operational readiness float (ORF) requirements computed from the float factor and identified in the Total Army Equipment Distribution Program (TAEDP). The ORF items authorized the parent GC by the TAEDP must be identified in the distribution plan to specify which UIC in the GC will receive the ORF items and in what quantities. (1) For unit activation or conversions, the PM also provides the end items authorized as deployable CTA. On the basis of the end items provided, the PM computes initial issue spare/repair parts for the authorized stockage list (ASL) level for distribution to each appropriate support organization. ORF densities will not be included in the SLAC.
(2) The amount of coordination the PM must do to identify the total materiel requirements for each fielding is based on the complexity of the system being fielded. The most common coordination for the fielding of Army systems is explained below. (3) End-item requirements are coordinated with the PM of each end item. End-item requirements must be reflected in the authorization documents of the gaining unit before they can be requisitioned. The GC validates the MTOE/TDA on which the fielding is based and provides the final MSP (340 days prior to GC MTOE/TDA MOC and at least 120 days prior for commercial items/NDIs).
The MSP is the final data needed by the PM to compute the initial issue spare/ repair part requirements for the ASL level. b. Initial stockage constraints for spare and repair parts are based on selection criteria, computation factors, and distribution limitations. c. Selection criteria for initial issue spare and repair parts will include— (1) Aviation support company (ASC) initial stockage is limited to essentiality code C parts expected to meet retail stockage add criteria established in AR 710–2 for using unit support activities.
(2) Field and aviation support battalion (ASB) initial stockage is limited to essentiality codes C, D (safety), and E (legal/climatic) parts that are expected to meet the field stockage add criteria in AR 710–2 for supply support activities. (3) Stockage at each level is further limited to parts replaceable within the maintenance capability of that level. d. Computation for initial issue will only be required for those parts meeting the essentiality and maintenance capability requirements. The parts that are computed to meet the appropriate add criteria will have an initial requisition- ing objective (RO) consisting of the following: (1) An initial operating level (IOL) quantity of one.
(The operating level days authorized for days of supply in AR 710–2 will be used in the computation of the IOL quantity. However, if the computed IOL exceeds one, it will be 32 AR 700–142 • 26 March 2008
