Supply Condition Code TTraining Use Only

Background

– Intent : Establish a new Supply Condition Code (SCC) T ‘Serviceable (Training Use Only)

– Scenario for use: Identify assets originally intended for combat use which no longer meet established criteria for combat applications but which can be safely used for training applications

– Current Process: Items reclassified from combat applications to training use only are currently assigned SCC “B” (Serviceable Issuable with Qualifications) and grouped with all other qualifiers identified by SCC “B.”

Advantages/Disadvantages

– Provide a more efficient and cost effective manner to manage assets originally intended for a combat application but now are restricted to training applications

– Advantages : • Clear re-identification of assets restricted to training use• Simplifies use of automated systems for sorting/sourcing*• Eliminate training restricted assets from combat calculations• Enhanced resource management for budgeting, procurement,

maintenance, positioning and assessment*• Reductions in procurement, transportation & maintenance

cost, less waste, improved asset posture*UNCLASSIFIED

Advantages/Disadvantages (Cont)

– Advantages (Cont) : • Enhanced safety - training restricted assets not inadvertently

issued to fill a combat requirement. • Implementation more cost effective than other solutions• Solution more effective than other options

– Disadvantages : • Inventory management systems require programming to

incorporate new condition code.• Documents require updates to include new condition code• Services may desire re-identification of assets currently

assigned SCC “B.”UNCLASSIFIED

Non-Concur

– USAF: Cost to upgrade legacy systems, Re-identification workload, Current systems and processes adequate, Questionable ROI

– USMC Ground: Time to implement, Questionable ROI, All systems will have to be configured to support new SCC.

Response to Non-Concur– Precedent established for single service SCC

applicability SCC Q USAF use only– Systems implementation of the code if established is

still at the discretion of the service – If established, application of the code would be at the

discretion of the service, NAR/CMSR initiated– Re- Identification, Navy intent, phase in application

through attrition, wholesale change when advantages– Establishment of the code will prevent future

conflicts with use of SCC T for other applications
