New equipment training (NET) The identification of personnel, training, and training aids and devices and the transfer of knowledge gained during development from the materiel developer/provider to the trainer, user, and supporter. New equipment training plan (NETP) The plan to coordinate the resources and schedule for training of staff planners, testers, users, trainers, and LARs.
NET team A team of experts organized to conduct training of designated units or personnel on the operation and maintenance of new equipment at specified locations. Nondevelopmental item (NDI) Any previously developed item of supply used exclusively for governmental purposes by a Federal agency, State or Local government, or a foreign government with which the United States has a mutual defense cooperation agreement. Nondevelopmental support equipment Nondevelopmental support equipment for the purpose of this policy are support equipment managed by the product manager, SKOT, and include such items as lathes, mills, drill presses, compressors and stand-alone welders/welding machines.
These items do not present any significant safety, supportability, transportability or suitability issues. Software The instructions executed by a computer, as opposed to the physical device on which they run (the “hardware”). Programs stored on nonvolatile storage built from integrated circuits (for example, ROM or programmable ROM) are usually called firmware. Software can be split into two main types-system software and application software or application programs. System software is any software that is required to support the production or execution of application programs but that is not specific to any particular application.
Examples of system software include the operating system, compilers, editors, and sorting programs. Examples of application programs include an accounts package or a computer-aided design program. Software also includes any security information assurance vulnerability alert patches. Staging site The area, facility, or location where the total package is to be received and held pending release for handoff to the GC.

This element does include transportation and delivery costs for displaced equipment, whether CONUS or OCONUS. Small arms Man portable, individual, and crew-served weapon systems used mainly against personnel and lightly armored or unarmored equipment. Software blocking An agreed collection of BC applications conforming as to version, so as to facilitate interoperability. Software blocking is characterized as a fielding process for software upgrades that groups them in ready and tested bundles before distribution. Software blocking is also characterized as a coordinating and integrating function across Army processes; it owns no unique processes.
It ensures the execution of the BC capability migration strategy from concept develop- ment to delivery of validated and tested operational capabilities in System of Systems solution sets or baselines that enable ARFORGEN and USF. Soldier portable sets, kits, outfits, and tools (SKOT) Soldier portable sets, kits, outfits and tools are assemblages of commercial off-the-shelf tools and supplies that can be hand carried by Soldiers.
