NARR/REF A PROVIDES VISION AND STRATEGY FOR THE TRANSFORMATION OF
MARINE CORPS LOGISTICS AND DIRECTS THE TRANSITION OF MANAGEMENT OF
4TH EOM TO MARCORLOGCOM. REF B ASSIGNED MARCORLOGCOM AS EXECUTIVE
AGENT RESPONSIBLE FOR PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTING THE 4TH EOM
MIGRATION INITIATIVE. REF C REQUESTED EACH MEF AND MFR REVIEW ITS
REPARABLE ISSUE POINT INVENTORIES AND PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS OF
WHAT SPECIFIC SECREP/COMPONENT MAINTENANCE CAPABILITY SHOULD BE
RETAINED IN ORDER TO SUSTAIN EQUIPMENT READINESS IN SUPPORT OF
BATTLEFIELD OPERATIONS.//
POC/D. F. CARTER/CAPT/LPV/-/TEL:703-432-8236//
GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. PURPOSE: TO MIGRATE MANAGEMENT OF THE FORMER
4TH
EOM RESPONSIBILITIES FROM THE OPERATING FORCES TO MARCORLOGCOM AND
TO ESTABLISH THE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITY CRITERIA FOR A PERFORMANCE
BASED AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE OPERATING FORCES AND LOGCOM.
2. BACKGROUND: PER REFS A AND B MARCORLOGCOM HAS BEEN TASKED TO
PLAN AND IMPLEMENT THE MIGRATION MANAGEMENT OF 4TH EOM. A KEY
ELEMENT FOR IMPLEMENTATION INCLUDES THE IDENTIFICATION OF CURRENT
SECREP/COMPONENT MAINTENANCE ACTIONS BEING PERFORMED IN GARRISON AND
ALIGNING THEM TO SECREP/COMPONENT MAINTENANCE ACTIONS BEING RETAINED
ON THE BATTLEFIELD. A SERIES OF HQMC I&L SPONSORED REALIGNMENT OF
MAINTENANCE (ROM) WIPTS CONCLUDED WITH THE RECOMMENDATION TO ALIGN
THE GARRISON AND BATTLEFIELD CAPABILITIES BASED ON THE PREMISE THAT,
AS A NORMAL COURSE OF BUSINESS, SECREP/COMPONENT REBUILD SHOULD NOT
BE DONE ON THE BATTLEFIELD AND THAT SECREPS NORMALLY REBUILT AT
COMPONENT REBUILD ACTIVITIES ARE CANDIDATES FOR OUTSOURCING. THE
ROM WIPTS RECOMMENDED REALIGNMENT OF THE GENERAL SUPPORT MAINTENANCE
(GSM) COMPANY FIRST, AS IT CONTAINS THE LARGEST INDUSTRIAL FOOTPRINT
THEREBY, REDUCING NON-TACTICAL OVERHAUL OPERATIONS FOR LEGACY
EQUIPMENT. THIS WILL ALSO ALLOW THE MAGTF TO REFOCUS THESE RESOURCES
TO IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE OF BATTLEFIELD REPAIR, RECOVERY AND
EVACUATION OF BROKEN EQUIPMENT. TO INITIALLY ENABLE 4TH EOM
MIGRATION OF GSM, MARCORLOGCOM DEVELOPED A CONTRACT WITH A THIRD
PARTY LOGISTICS (3PL) PROVIDER TO SERVE AS AN INTEGRATOR TO
ESTABLISH AND MANAGE A NETWORK OF COMMERCIAL VENDORS AS ALTERNATE
SOURCES OF REPAIR FOR SELECTED SECREPS. IN ADDITION TO FINDING AND
MANAGING COMMERCIAL SOURCES OF REPAIR, THE CONTRACT PROVIDES A
WARRANTED PRODUCT, WARRANTY MANAGEMENT, SERIALIZED TRACKING, AND THE
COLLECTION AND REPORTING OF VALUABLE MAINTENANCE AND LIFE CYCLE
MANAGEMENT DATA TO INCLUDE COST, MEAN-TIME-BETWEEN-FAILURE, AND
TREND ANALYSIS.
3. CURRENT SITUATION: IN ORDER TO PROVIDE CLARIFICATION TO THE
SOURCE OF MAINTENANCE LIST BELOW THE FOLLOWING DEFINITIONS ARE
PROVIDED:
A. REPLACE - THE EXCHANGE OF EXTERNAL MODULAR COMPONENTS AND
PIECE PARTS WHICH DO NOT REQUIRE EXTENSIVE POST MAINTENANCE TESTING
OR ADJUSTMENT.
B. OVERHAUL - THE RESTORATION OF AN ITEM TO A STANDARD AS
NEARLY AS POSSIBLE TO ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION IN APPEARANCE,
PERFORMANCE, AND LIFE EXPECTANCY.
C. AN [X] UNDER THE "OPFORS REPLACE" COLUMN BELOW INDICATES
OPFORS
WILL REMOVE AND REPLACE THE COMPONENT. AN [X] UNDER THE "LOGCOM
OVERHAUL"
COLUMN BELOW INDICATES LOGCOM WILL ESTABLISH AND MANAGE A SOURCE OF
MAINTENANCE CAPABILITY TO PERFORM OVERHAUL ACTIONS FOR THAT
COMPONENT UNDER A PERFORMANCE BASED AGREEMENT (PBA). DEPENDING ON
THE OVERHAUL DESIGNATION FOR THE COMPONENT, THE OPFORS WILL EITHER
DISPOSE OF THE ITEM, IF THERE IS NO [X] UNDER OVERHAUL COLUMN, OR
RETURN THE ITEM TO LOGCOM, IF THERE IS AN [X] UNDER THE OVERHAUL
COLUMN.
4. 4TH EOM MIGRATION. PER REF C AND SUPPORTING MARFOR INPUT, THE
BELOW PARTS/SERVICES ARE DESIGNATED AS REPLACE OR OVERHAUL TO
ESTABLISH A BASELINE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT 4TH EOM ACTIONS WILL BE
SUPPORTED AND MANAGED UNDER THE INITIAL PBA BETWEEN LOGCOM AND THE
OPFORS (READ IN THREE COLUMNS):
