Table 2: Current Status of Selected Prepositioning Programs ( as of March 2004 ) Location Status Army Kuwait and Qatar The equipment and supplies from these locations are still in use to support continuing operations in Iraq. Korea This brigade set of equipment is currently filled to approximately 90 percent. Afloat Equipment and supplies from 10 of 11 ships were downloaded to support OIF and most of this equipment remains in Iraq or Kuwait. One combat ship has been partially filled to support two Army battalions. One ammunition ship remains on station and another is in its maintenance cycle. The Army is also working to reconstitute equipment for a support ship and another combat ship, but it is unclear how much equipment will be available to source these requirements. Europe Stocks in Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Italy have been depleted to support ongoing operations. Marines Afloat ( Guam ) This 6-ship squadron was not used in OIF and has almost its full complement of stocks. Afloat ( Mediterranean ) One ship has been downloaded in support of OIF and another has been partially downloaded. This squadrons equipment is currently filled to about half of its requirement and will complete its normal maintenance cycle in 2005. Afloat ( Diego Garcia ) This squadrons equipment was used during the first phase of OIF, was repaired to combat condition but not to normal standards, and has been downloaded for reuse in Iraq. Norway Stocks in Norway were used to support OIF. Currently, the stocks have approximately two-thirds of the authorized equipment. Source: U. S. Army and U. S. Marine Corps data.

Excerpt: . . . the regulation recognizes that starting work within a reasonable amount of time includes the action to procure material or components. For ordnance activities, the material and parts are generally not in the Lead Time for Obtaining DOD supply system so the activities must obtain them from vendors. Material and Parts Obtaining material and parts can take over a year because of the time needed ( 1 ) by the Army to enter into contracts and ( 2 ) by the vendors to manufacture the material and parts. As noted above, before the Army ordnance activities can manufacture or assemble end items to satisfy their customers requirements, they must first accept funded orders from customers. The ordnance activities cannot begin work - including buying material from vendors - until they accept the order. Upon accepting the orders, the activities begin the process of awarding contracts or amending existing contracts to buy material or parts from vendors, which can take several months. Once contracts are awarded to vendors, the vendors need time to manufacture and deliver the material and parts. The manufacturing process takes months, and in some cases over a year, for the material or parts to be manufactured in accordance with military specifications and shipped to the ordnance activities. Adding time to the process is the possibility that vendors cannot provide the material or parts in accordance with military specifications. In such cases, the ordnance activities will terminate these contracts and find other contractors to perform the work or perform the work in-house. Because it can take over a year to receive material and parts, funds can carryover on orders for 2 or more years. For example, at the end of fiscal year 2008, about 330 million carried over on orders that were 2 or more years old. A specific example of the amount of time needed to obtain parts for the . . .
