This publication provides the procedures which the logistics elements of the military services have established to accomplish the intent of FY 74 Department of Defense (DOD) Management Objective 8, Action 6: Eliminate Duplicate Wholesale Inventory Management as it applies to nonconsumable items. The procedures provide for the actions to be accomplished in two separate but related phases. Phase I, completed December 1976, resulted in a single manager assignment of responsibility for cataloging, procurement, disposal, and, where appropriate, depot level maintenance (maintenance to be accomplished by Depot Maintenance Interservice Support Agreement). Phase II provides for a single wholesale manager for depot reparable components and a single wholesale stock for all users. Upon completion of all actions contained in this publication, each affected National Stock Numbered nonconsumable item will have a single DOD wholesale manager. Ammunition, cryptological, and nuclear items, while excluded from the purview of this publication, will be addressed by the cognizant agencies/activities. While government agencies outside of the DOD, such as the Federal Aviation Administration and Coast Guard are not bound by this regulation, they are encouraged to participate in the program as negotiated with the military services to obtain support and eliminate duplication in the logistics management of jointly used nonconsumables.
