PresenterPresentation NotesKEY MESSAGE: Operational decisions made during enterprise reset planning have the greatest influence over current reset maintenance plans and production.

Planned Reset Inventory: DC, PP&O and MARCENT determine both the inventory available for reset and the retrograde sequence for ground equipment. In CMC’s reset plan, DC, PP&O is tasked to “develop Marine Corps reconstitution priorities” and “manage the OIF/OEF force list and associated ground equipment levels.” Similarly, MARCENT is directed to “ensure required capabilities remain in theater for mission accomplishment.” Taken together, these actions shape the inventory of the OIF ground equipment that is available for reset – this is the planned reset inventory. MARCENT’s task to “validate force requirements and equipment density lists to support Marine Corps operations in the USCENTCOM AOR” indicates that the off ramp schedule has been incorporated into retrograde planning from a ground equipment perspective.Quantifying Maintenance Requirements: Modeling tools show the total resource and capacity requirement to retrograde/redeploy and reset OIF ground equipment at the end of a two-year period; they do not reflect how resources and capacity support the process over a two-year period.The Reset Cost Model: The RCM applies equipment reset strategies against the inventory of OIF ground equipment to estimate reset costs by TAMCN. It does not incorporate operational redeployment or offramping factors.The Retrograde and Reset Process Simulation Tool: This tool identifies nodal and arc capabilities and characteristics, and develops a network process simulation that demonstrates current retrograde and reset capacity and future requirements. It does not incorporate operational redeployment or offramping factors.Reset Strategies: The reset strategies are developed by Life Cycle Managers (PMs) based on many factors – authorized equipment quantities, on hand inventory postures, life cycle of equipment, current and future fielding plans, equipment shortfalls, equipment obsolescence, and long term Marine Corps requirements, etc. The strategies categorize reset actions for each equipment type such as Depot, Field Level Repair, Procurement, or no reset. These strategies are estimates and will most likely change as equipment is inspected in the reset process. An example of an item not requiring reset or replacement would be an OIF unique piece of equipment purchased by the Marine Corps that will not become a system item. Reset strategies are updated biannually. From the MCLC perspective, reset happens to individual items of OIF ground equipment. When equipment moves from the retrograde phase to the reset phase, MCLC manages the maintenance according the MCSC’s reset strategies. Depot-level maintenance will be performed based on established sources of repair and the accompanying statements of work. MCLC will manage and perform field-level maintenance to mitigate this burden on the operating forces. When a designated item of equipment has been repaired to a ready-for-issue condition it is considered reset...reset happens one piece at a time.For MCLC, reconstitution occurs when a reset item fills a requirement. CMC sourcing priorities direct how available reset equipment will be distributed among units and organizations.

UNCLASSIFIED Ground Equipment Reset Reset Cost Model

Operational analysis model used to calculate reset costs Estimates USMC reset “liability” in OIF/OEF

Maps reset strategy to equipment in theater; 4 categories:1. Procure: Equipment with this strategy will be procured through the acquisition process.2. Depot: Equipment with this strategy will be repaired using depot level maintenance. The cost for this type maintenance is 65% of the equipment’s procurement cost.3. Field: Equipment with this strategy will be repaired using organizational or intermediate level maintenance. The cost for this type of maintenance is 20% of the equipment’s procurement cost.4. No Reset: Equipment with this strategy will not require reset and will be returned to the operating forces.

4.a. No Reset Obsolete: Equipment with this strategy will not require reset and will be disposed of.

Reset Liability: Snapshot in Time

PresenterPresentation NotesGround Equipment Reset Liability Determination (estimate for future planning). a. FY09 4th Qtr OIF Ground Equipment Reset liability, when general supply items (i.e. tents, boots, etc.) are excluded, estimates the handling of over 73K individual pieces of equipment with estimated cost of approx. $1.6B. 50 of the 633 equipment types (i.e. – Tanks, LAVs, howitzers, etc.) make up over 80% of our total estimated reset cost. A high percentage of these items are planned for Depot work and not replacement. The estimated reset liability is based on PM reset strategies: 20% of the total quantity of equipment is projected to require depot work; 28%,replacement / procurement; 32%, field level maintenance; and 20%, no reset.b. FY09 4th Qtr OEF Ground Equipment Reset liability, when general supply items (i.e. tents, boots, etc.) are excluded, estimates the handling of over 59K individual pieces of equipment and estimated cost of approx. $876M. 79 equipment types make up over 80% of our total estimated reset cost. A high percentage of these items are planned for Depot work and not replacement. The estimated reset liability is based on PM reset strategies: 27% of the total quantity of equipment is projected to require depot work; 27%, require replacement / procurement; 29%, field level maintenance; and 17%, no reset.c. Reset strategies are developed by Life Cycle Managers (PMs) based on several factors – authorized equipment quantities, on-hand inventory postures, life cycle of equipment, current and future fielding plans, equipment shortfalls, equipment obsolescence, and long term Marine Corps requirements, etc. The strategies categorize reset actions for each equipment type such as Depot, Field Level Repair, Procurement, or no reset. These strategies are estimates – reset actions will ultimately be determined as equipment is inspected in the reset process. The MCSC PM Reset strategies are updated biannually. d. Estimated costs and workloads change – this information is captured quarterly. The Marine Corps remains flexible in order to conduct physical inspections of equipment being redeployed, react to new operational requirements, or revise reset strategies based on service equipment requirements.
