GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  THIS MARADMIN ANNOUNCES ADVANCE CHANGES TO REFERENCE A, AND DIRECTS THE AUTHORIZED USE, APPLICATION AND EXPLANATION OF CHANGES TO SPECIFIC SOURCE MAINTENANCE AND RECOVERABILITY (SMR) CODES WITHIN REFERENCE A UNTIL SUCH TIME IT IS FORMALLY UPDATED BY THE DESIGNATED PROPONENT AUTHORITY.
2.  BACKGROUND.  TO IMPROVE GROUND LOGISTICS PERFORMANCE AND INTEGRATION, THE MARINE CORPS IS CHANGING THE WAY IT MANAGES AND EMPLOYS MAINTENANCE CAPABILITIES.  TO GUARANTEE CRITICAL AND LIMITED RESOURCES ARE USED MOST EFFECTIVELY, AN EXPEDITIONARY MAINTENANCE CONSTRUCT (I.E., LIGHTEN THE LOAD AND FIX FAR FORWARD) WILL ENSURE GROUND MAINTENANCE IS RESPONSIVE, FLEXIBLE, RELIABLE, AND ACHIEVES THE OPTIMAL OPERATIONAL AVAILABILITY OF WARFIGHTING EQUIPMENT.  THE INTENT IN PROVIDING A CORRELATION BETWEEN LEVEL OF MAINTENANCE (LOM) AND ECHELON OF MAINTENANCE (EOM) IS TO BRIDGE THE TRANSITION TO AN EXPEDITIONARY MAINTENANCE CONSTRUCT FOR GROUND EQUIPMENT.
3.  SMR CODES
3.A. BACKGROUND.  SMR CODES ARE USED TO COMMUNICATE MAINTENANCE AND SUPPLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE LOGISTIC SUPPORT OF SYSTEMS, EQUIPMENT, AND END ITEMS.  THESE CODES ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO THEIR INTENDED USERS BY MEANS OF TECHNICAL PUBLICATIONS, AND ARE ASSIGNED TO EACH SUPPORT ITEM BASED ON THE LOGISTIC SUPPORT PLANNED FOR THE END ITEM AND ITS COMPONENTS.  EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, THE FOLLOWING SMR CODES WILL BE USED TO GUIDE NEW EQUIPMENT/MATERIAL ACQUISITIONS AND UPDATES TO THE EXISTING LOGISTICS SUPPORT FOR LEGACY ITEMS:
    CODE "C" DENOTES CREW/OPERATOR LOM.
    CODE "O" DENOTES FIELD LOM AT ORGANIZATIONAL LEVEL.
    CODE "F" DENOTES FIELD LOM AT INTERMEDIATE LEVEL.
    CODE "H" DENOTES FIELD LOM AT COMPONENT REPAIR ACTIVITY AT
      INTERMEDIATE LEVEL FOR SECONDARY REPAIRABLES (SECREPS) AT
      DESIGNATED REPAIR FACILITIES.
    CODE "L" AND "D" DENOTES DEPOT-SUSTAINMENT LOM.
3.B. GENERAL SMR CODING
3.B.1.  THE SMR CODE IS A RECORD OF A TECHNICAL DECISION MADE SUBSEQUENT TO ADEQUATE CONSIDERATION OF THE COST, DESIGN, MANUFACTURE, APPLICATION, MAINTENANCE, AND SUPPLY PRACTICES AND CAPABILITIES AS RELATED TO EACH ITEM IT IS ASSIGNED.
3.B.2.  MARINE CORPS SYSTEMS COMMAND (MARCORSYSCOM) AND PROGRAM EXECUTIVE OFFICE LAND SYSTEMS (PEO LS), IN COORDINATION WITH MARINE CORPS LOGISTICS COMMAND (MARCORLOGCOM), ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DESIGNATION OF SMR CODES FOR ITEMS.
3.C.  CHANGES TO THE SOURCE CODES APPLICATION/EXPLANATION FOLLOW.
3.C.1.  THE FOLLOWING CHANGES AFFECT APPENDIX C, TABLE C-3, M SERIES SOURCE CODES OF REFERENCE A.  "M" SERIES SOURCE CODED ITEMS ARE TO BE MANUFACTURED OR FABRICATED AT SOME LOM.  THEY ARE NORMALLY CONSUMABLE ITEMS OR THOSE REQUIRING VERY LIMITED REPAIR. 
    "MF" EQUATES TO ITEMS TO BE MANUFACTURED OR FABRICATED AT
       INTERMEDIATE MAINTENANCE LEVEL USMC - FIELD LOM/THIRD
       EOM.
    "MH" EQUATES TO ITEMS TO BE MANUFACTURED OR FABRICATED AT
       INTERMEDIATE MAINTENANCE LEVEL USMC - FIELD LOM COMPONENT
       REPAIR ACTIVITY/FOURTH EOM.
3.C.2.  THE FOLLOWING CHANGES AFFECT APPENDIX C, TABLE C-4, A-SERIES SOURCE CODES, OF REFERENCE A.  "A" SERIES CODED ITEMS ARE AUTHORIZED FOR ASSEMBLY AT SOME LOM.  THESE CODES SHOULD BE ASSIGNED WHEN ALL PARTS FOR ASSEMBLY, THE REQUIRED SUPPORT EQUIPMENT AND THE SKILLS REQUIRED FOR THE ASSEMBLY ARE AVAILABLE AT THE SPECIFIED LOM.
    "AF" EQUATES TO ITEMS TO BE ASSEMBLED AT INTERMEDIATE
       MAINTENANCE LEVEL USMC - FIELD LOM/THIRD EOM.
    "AH" EQUATES TO ITEMS TO BE ASSEMBLED AT INTERMEDIATE
       MAINTENANCE LEVEL USMC - FIELD LOM COMPONENT REPAIR
       ACTIVITY/FOURTH EOM.
3.C.3.  CHANGES TO MAINTENANCE CODES AND APPLICATION/EXPLANATION FOLLOW.
3.C.3.A.  THE FOLLOWING CHANGES AFFECT APPENDIX D, TABLE D-1, USE, OF REFERENCE A. 
    "C" EQUATES TO USMC - CREW/OPERATOR LOM.
    "O" EQUATES TO USMC - FIELD LOM/SECOND EOM.
    "F" EQUATES TO USMC - FIELD LOM/THIRD EOM.
    "H" EQUATES TO USMC - FIELD LOM COMPONENT REPAIR ACTIVITY/
      FOURTH EOM.
    "D" EQUATES TO USMC - DEPOT-SUSTAINMENT LOM.
3.C.3.B.  THE FOLLOWING CHANGES ARE LOCATED IN APPENDIX D, TABLE D-2, OF REFERENCE A.
    "C" EQUATES TO USMC - CREW/OPERATOR LOM.
    "O" EQUATES TO USMC - FIELD LOM/SECOND EOM.
    "F" EQUATES TO USMC - FIELD LOM/THIRD EOM.
    "H" EQUATES TO USMC - FIELD LOM COMPONENT REPAIR ACTIVITY/
      FOURTH EOM.
    "D" EQUATES TO USMC - DEPOT-SUSTAINMENT LOM.
3.C.4.  THE FOLLOWING CHANGES ARE LOCATED IN APPENDIX E, TABLE E-1, RECOVERABILITY CODES, OF REFERENCE A.
    "C" EQUATES TO USMC - CREW/OPERATOR LOM.
    "O" EQUATES TO USMC - FIELD LOM/SECOND EOM.
    "F" EQUATES TO USMC - FIELD LOM/THIRD EOM.
    "H" EQUATES TO USMC - FIELD LOM COMPONENT REPAIR ACTIVITY/
      FOURTH EOM.
    "D" EQUATES TO USMC - DEPOT-SUSTAINMENT LOM.
3.D. THE TABLE FOR THE G-1 JOINT SERVICE CODING REFERENCE CHART, FIGURE 1-1, OF REFERENCE A IS CHANGED TO INDICATE:
3.D.1.  "C" - CREW/OPERATOR AS THE FIRST ALPHABETICAL CODE FOR THE 3RD, 4TH, AND 5TH POSITIONS.  NO CHANGE TO THE 1ST AND 2ND POSITION COLUMNS.
3.D.2. NOTES ADDED UNDER THE CHART WILL READ:
"THE FOLLOWING APPLY TO MARINE CORPS PROGRAMS:
3.D.2.A.  CODE "O" IN THE 3RD, 4TH, AND 5TH POSITIONS OF THE MAINTENANCE AND RECOVERABILITY CODES DENOTES "FIELD LEVEL OF MAINTENANCE (LOM) OR SECOND ECHELON FOR LEGACY ITEMS."
3.D.2.B.  CODE "F" IN THE 3RD, 4TH, AND 5TH POSITIONS OF THE MAINTENANCE AND RECOVERABILITY CODES DENOTES "FIELD LOM OR THIRD ECHELON FOR LEGACY ITEMS."
3.D.2.C.  CODE "H" IN THE 3RD, 4TH, AND 5TH POSITIONS OF THE MAINTENANCE AND RECOVERABILITY CODES DENOTES "FIELD LOM COMPONENT REPAIR ACTIVITY OR FOURTH ECHELON FOR LEGACY ITEMS."
3.D.2.D.  CODE "L" IN THE 3RD, 4TH, AND 5TH POSITIONS OF THE MAINTENANCE AND RECOVERABILITY CODES DENOTES "SUSTAINMENT LOM."
3.D.2.E.  CODE "D" IN THE 3RD, 4TH, AND 5TH POSITIONS OF THE MAINTENANCE AND RECOVERABILITY CODES DENOTES "DEPOT-SUSTAINMENT LOM."
4.  THE SIXTH POSITION OF THE SMR CODE, REFERRED TO AS THE SERVICE OPTION CODE, WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR MARINE CORPS USE AS REQUIRED. THIS CODE CAN BE USED TO PROVIDE SPECIFIC DATA WHICH CANNOT BE CONVEYED IN THE UNIFORM SMR CODING FORMAT.  EXAMPLE:  CODE "R" CAN BE USED TO INDICATE THAT A GOLD DISC REPAIR CAPABILITY HAS BEEN DEVELOPED WITHIN THE MINIATURE MICRO MINIATURE MODULE TEST AND REPAIR (2M MTR) PROGRAM AT THE FIELD LOM.
5.  THIS MARADMIN SHOULD BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH REFERENCE A FOR FULL APPLICATION/EXPLANATION OF CHANGES.
6.  CURRENT PROCEDURES FOR RECOMMENDING CHANGES TO EXISTING SMR CODES IS CONTAINED IN REFERENCES B AND C.
7.  CHANGES WILL NOT REQUIRE ARBITRARY UPDATES TO EXISTING TECHNICAL DOCUMENTS.  IF LOGISTICS SUPPORT STRATEGIES CHANGE FOR LEGACY SYSTEMS, TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION MUST BE UPDATED.
8.  THIS MARADMIN IS APPLICABLE TO THE MARINE CORPS TOTAL FORCE.
9.  RELEASE AUTHORIZED BY LTGEN F. PANTER, DEPUTY COMMANDANT FOR INSTALLATIONS AND LOGISTICS.//
