GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  THIS IS A COORDINATED DEPUTY COMMANDANT FOR INSTALLATIONS AND LOGISTICS (DC IL) AND DIRECTOR, COMMAND, CONTROL, COMMUNICATIONS, AND COMPUTERS DEPARTMENT (DIR C4)-DEPUTY DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY (DON) CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER - MARINE CORPS (DEP DON CIO-MC) MARADMIN.
2.  THE NAVY MARINE CORPS INTRANET (NMCI) CONTRACT EXPIRED ON 30 SEP 10.  THE MARINE CORPS IS NOW IN A 43-MONTH CONTINUITY OF SERVICES CONTRACT WHICH WILL END WITH MIGRATION TO A GOVERNMENT-OWNED, GOVERNMENT OPERATED NETWORK ENVIRONMENT.  THIS MARADMIN IS THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF MESSAGES THAT WILL COMMUNICATE ACCOUNTABILITY AND VISIBILITY OF REAL PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT POLICY, REQUIREMENTS, PROCESSES, AND GUIDANCE PER REFERENCES (A) THROUGH (N) FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF THE MARINE CORPS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ASSET MANAGEMENT (ITAM) PROGRAM.  THE PROGRAM WILL ESTABLISH MARINE CORPS POLICY FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY MATERIAL CRITERIA (EQUIPMENT-REAL PROPERTY); IDENTIFY AND MAP ITAM CONDITIONS TO AUTHORITATIVE PROPERTY SYSTEMS AND OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS (DEPLOYABLE-NON-DEPLOYABLE); AND ENSURE APPROPRIATE AND COMPREHENSIVE POLICIES AND PROCESSES ARE IN PLACE TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT ACCOUNTABILITY AND VISIBILITY ACROSS THE MARINE CORPS.  OTHER MESSAGES WILL ADDRESS SPECIFIC POLICIES FOR MATERIAL CLASSIFIED AS EQUIPMENT (DEFENSE PROPERTY ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM (DPAS), SUPPORTED ACTIVITIES SUPPLY SYSTEM (SASSY), AND GLOBAL COMBAT SUPPORT SYSTEM-MARINE CORPS (GCSS-MC)) AND REAL PROPERTY INTERNET NAVAL FACILITIES ASSETS STORE (INFADS) IN GREATER DETAIL.
3.  SITUATION.  THIS MARADMIN ESTABLISHES THE DEP DON CIO-MC ITAM PROGRAM WITHIN THE MARINE CORPS.  COMMON TERMS OF REFERENCE WILL BE USED IN FUTURE MESSAGES REGARDING ITAM PROGRAM ALIGNMENT WITHIN EACH OF THE MARINE CORPS ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEMS OF RECORD (ASR).  THE MESSAGES WILL BE BASED UPON SPECIFIC ASR AND WILL ESTABLISH COMPREHENSIVE POLICIES AND PROCESSES TO MAINTAIN EQUIPMENT ACCOUNTABILITY AND VISIBILITY FOR ALL MARINE CORPS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ASSETS.  ADDITIONALLY, AN ITAM PROGRAM MAINTENANCE CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS WILL BE DEVELOPED BASED UPON EACH ASR AND WILL BE COMMUNICATED IN FUTURE MARADMINS.
4.  INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ASSETS ARE DEFINED AS FOLLOWS.
4.A.  END-USER INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ASSET:  ANY HUMAN TO MACHINE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY MATERIAL WHICH IS USED TO SEND, RECEIVE, PROCESS, AND OR STORE INFORMATION.  END-USER INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ASSETS PROVIDE SOME FORM OF INFORMATION SERVICE CAPABILITY (E.G., DESKTOPS, NOTEBOOKS, PRINTERS, FAX MACHINES, PROJECTORS, SCANNERS, PERSONAL DIGITAL ASSISTANTS, AND PHONES) TO A HUMAN (VOICE, VIDEO, TEXT).
4.B.  MOVEABLE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ASSET:  ANY PHYSICAL MACHINE TO MACHINE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY MATERIAL COMPONENT WHICH CANNOT PROVIDE A FUNCTIONAL CAPABILITY ON ITS OWN BUT, WHEN INTEGRATED WITH OTHER INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY MATERIAL COMPONENTS, WILL PROVIDE AN INFORMATION SERVICE CAPABILITY (E.G., FINANCIAL, COMMAND, LOGISTICS, INTELLIGENCE, ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGEMENT CENTERS, TRAINING SIMULATION CENTERS, SERVER FARMS, INFORMATION ASSURANCE BOUNDARIES, AND DATA CENTERS).  THESE INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY COMPONENTS WILL BE CLASSIFIED AND CATALOGED WITHIN A MARINE CORPS AUTHORIZED PROPERTY SYSTEM (APS) AS A SYSTEM, A SYSTEM OF SYSTEMS, OR A FAMILY OF SYSTEMS. 
4.C.  PERMANENT INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ASSET:  ANY INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY MATERIAL COMPONENT WHICH WILL PROVIDE A COMMON BUILDING SERVICES CAPABILITY THAT CONNECTS, ROUTES, AND/OR SWITCHES INSTALLATION COMMANDER'S COMMON SERVICES TO TENANT END-USER AND/OR MOVEABLE ASSETS (CLASSIFIED AS EQUIPMENT) AND BUILDING OPERATIONS (E.G., FIRE PROTECTION, ELEVATOR OPS, ETC.) WITHIN MARINE CORPS ASSIGNED PROPERTY AND BUILDINGS (CLASSIFIED AS REAL PROPERTY).  PERMANENT INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ASSET ALSO INCLUDES OUTSIDE CABLE PLANT (COPPER AND OR FIBER-OPTIC INFORMATION TRANSPORT MATERIAL CLASSIFIED AS COMMUNICATION LINES - FACILITY CODE 1351) AND NON-MOVABLE/DEPLOYABLE RADIO FREQUENCY TOWER STRUCTURES (WHICH ARE CLASSIFIED AS A COMMUNICATIONS FACILITY - FACILITY CODE 1321) THAT CONNECT GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS AND TRAINING AREAS.
5.  MARINE CORPS ASR'S MANAGE THE TWO CLASSIFICATIONS OF MATERIAL WHICH ARE EQUIPMENT AND REAL PROPERTY PER UNITED STATES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS. 
5.A.  OVER THE PAST DECADES, THE PROLIFERATION OF LOCAL TABLE OF MATERIEL CONTROL NUMBERS HAS INCREASED CONSIDERABLY DUE TO THE EXPANDED USE AND MISUSE OF GOVERNMENT-WIDE COMMERCIAL PURCHASE CARDS, DOD APPROVED PROCUREMENT WEB PORTALS, AND OTHER PROCUREMENT PROCESSES.  DECENTRALIZED PROCUREMENT, WHILE EFFICIENT AND RESPONSIVE, HAS NEGATIVELY IMPACTED OUR ABILITY TO EFFECTIVELY IDENTIFY AND REGISTER CAPABILITY SHORTFALLS.  AS A RESULT, THE MARINE CORPS SYSTEM OF RECORD FOR EQUIPMENT ACCOUNTABILITY (I.E., SASSY) WAS BEING USED TO ACCOUNT FOR ITEMS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN PROPERLY DEVELOPED NOR SYSTEMATICALLY INTEGRATED WITHIN THE MARINE AIR-GROUND TASK FORCE.  SPECIFICALLY, THESE LOCALLY PROCURED ITEMS HAVE NOT BEEN ANALYZED THROUGH THE EXPEDITIONARY FORCE DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM AND THE PLANNING, PROGRAMMING, BUDGETING AND EXECUTION SYSTEM TO ENSURE THE MARINE CORPS HAS THE PERSONNEL AND CAPABILITIES TO PROPERLY ACCOUNT FOR AND MAINTAIN THESE ITEMS.  THEREFORE, ONLY THE MARINE CORPS SYSTEMS OF RECORD FOR EQUIPMENT ACCOUNTABILITY (I.E., SASSY AND GCSS-MC) WILL BE USED TO ACCOUNT FOR MATERIEL AND NON-MATERIEL SOLUTIONS WHERE THE COMBAT DEVELOPMENT AND INTEGRATION PROCESS HAS BEEN SATISFIED AND THE ACQUISITION OBJECTIVE FORMALLY ESTABLISHED.
5.B.  THE FOLLOWING ASR'S APPLY WITHIN THE MARINE CORPS.
5.B.1.  DEFENSE PROPERTY ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM (DPAS).  DPAS IS THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE (DOD) ASR USED TO ACCOUNT FOR PLANT PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT OR GARRISON (NON-DEPLOYABLE) ASSETS THAT ARE NOT CONSIDERED TO BE A PART OF BASE INFRASTRUCTURE.  MARINE CORPS NON-DEPLOYABLE END-USER INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND MOVEABLE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ASSETS SHALL BE MAINTAINED WITHIN THIS ASR.  DC IL (LFS) AND DIR C4 WILL PUBLISH FUTURE POLICY WHICH WILL OUTLINE ACTIONS TO MIGRATE AND MAINTAIN ITAM WITHIN THIS ASR.
5.B.2.  SUPPORTED ACTIVITIES SUPPLY SYSTEM (SASSY).  SASSY IS THE MARINE CORPS LEGACY ASR.  THE GLOBAL COMBAT SUPPORT SYSTEM-MARINE CORPS (GCSS-MC) IS THE ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING SYSTEM REPLACEMENT ASR FOR SASSY.  BOTH ARE USED TO ACCOUNT FOR TACTICAL ASSETS (DEPLOYABLE) THAT HAVE BEEN SUBJECT TO THE EXPEDITIONARY FORCE DEVELOPMENT SYSTEMS PROCESS AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED A TABLE OF AUTHORIZED MATERIAL CONTROL NUMBER (TAMCN) PER REFERENCES (G) AND (H).  DEPLOYABLE END-USER AND MOVEABLE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ASSETS SHALL BE MAINTAINED WITHIN THIS ASR.  DC IL (LPC) AND DIR C4 WILL PUBLISH FUTURE POLICY TO OUTLINE ACTIONS TO MIGRATE AND MAINTAIN ITAM WITHIN THIS ASR.
5.B.3.  INTERNET NAVAL FACILITIES ASSETS STORE (INFADS).  INFADS IS THE DATABASE THAT CONTAINS ALL FACILITIES, BUILDINGS, STRUCTURES, AND UTILITIES INFORMATION TO INCLUDE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS WHICH ARE CLASSIFIED AS REAL PROPERTY (E.G., PERMANENT INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ASSETS THAT REMAINS WITH A FACILITY AND PROVIDES COMMON BUILDING SUPPORT REGARDLESS OF OCCUPANT).  PERMANENT INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ASSETS SHALL BE MAINTAINED WITHIN THIS ASR.  DC IL (LFL) AND DIR C4 WILL PUBLISH FUTURE POLICY TO OUTLINE ACTIONS TO MIGRATE AND MAINTAIN IT ASSETS WITHIN THIS ASR.
6.  THE DEFINITIONS ABOVE MAY CAUSE A CHANGE IN FUNDING RESPONSBILITIES.  DC IL AND DIR C4 WILL PUBLISH SEPARATE POLICY REGARDING THE CONTROL, INVESTMENT, AND SUSTAINMENT CRITERIA FOR EACH TYPE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ASSET WITHIN EACH OF THE SEPARATE ASR'S.  FOR CLARIFICATION, NO FUNDING IS PROGRAMMED AND NONE WILL BE PROVIDED FROM THE FACILITIES SUSTAINMENT ACCOUNT FOR PERMANENT INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ASSET DAY-TO-DAY REPAIRS OR CHANGES; THIS WOULD REMAIN A BASE COMMUNICATIONS RESPONSIBILITY.  IN ACCORDANCE WITH REFERENCE (N), MINOR CONSTRUCTION CAN BE USED TO INSTALL OR UPGRADE WIRING DURING A MAJOR REPAIR.  NO MODIFICATION WILL BE MADE TO CURRENT ESTABLISHED FUNDING ALIGNMENTS OR RESPONSIBILITIES.
7.  COMMAND AND SIGNAL.  DIRECT ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS MARADMIN TO THE POINTS OF CONTACT LISTED ABOVE.
8.  THIS MARADMIN WILL BE CANCELLED UPON PUBLICATION OF AN APPROPRIATE MARINE CORPS ORDER ON ITAM.
9.  RELEASE AUTHORIZED BY LTGEN F. A. PANTER, DC IL; AND MAJGEN G. J. ALLEN, DIR C4/DEPUTY DON CIO.//
