Army and Customer Total Production Requirements and Distribution Priorities for Major Items

摘要

This report is concerned with the submission of requirements and distribution of Army-managed major items (less ammunition) only. It examines DODI 7045.7 (The Planning, Programming, and Budgeting System) which pertains to the determination and submission of budget requests of the military services. It analyzes the content of Chapter 2, Joint Regulation (AFLCR 400-21/DARCOM-R 700-99/NAVMATINIST 4790.23A/MCO P4410.22A) - Elimination of Duplication in the Management and Logistics Support of Multiused Nonconsumable Items, which prescribes the procedures used by the military services in the supply and depot maintenance operations of Nonconsumable Item Material Support Codes (NIMSC) 1, 2, 3, 4, or 9 which include major items. The need for a standardized Army plan for the distribution of Army-managed major items to the Army and other customers is also discussed. A conceptual method to achieve visibility of the total requirements/production quantity of Army-managed major items and the means to establish an Army standardized distribution plan for these major items throughout the Army and to the other military services is also presented.
