1. MPF MAINTENANCE CYCLE

a. Marine Corps Bulletin (MCBUL) 3501. The MCBUL 3501, is the MPF MEB size
force list. It is an important planning document because it serves as the
baseline for planners to determine equipment requirements for an MPF MEB. It
also allows us to determine equipment distribution down to the Bn/Sqn/Co/
Detachment level; as well as, allows us to determine Class I sustainment
requirements that will be needed. Any changes or modifications to this document
will have a direct impact on Maritime Prepositoned Equipment and Supply (MPE/S)
and sustainment planning.

(1) This document also identifies a MEU-size force module, because there
may be instances where a MEB-size force is not required. The MPF MEU equipment
list (E/L) is a part of, and not additive, to the MEB E/L.

(Slide 5)

b. Navy and Marine Corps (NAVMC) 2907 Publication. The NAVMC 2907 is the MPF
Prepositioning Objective. It serves as the single source-planning document which
lists the equipment and material to be loaded upon the three MPSRONs

(1) The Deputy Commandant, Installations and Logistics (LPO-2) is

assigned overall PO management responsibility for the MPF program, and publishes
the Navy and Marine Corps (NAVMC) 2907 publication.

(2) The NAVMC 2907 is an overarching and comprehensive document designed

to ensure interoperability and materiel management within the Maritime
Prepositioning Force (MPF) program.

(3) It but does not document the current loading of assets either by
squadron or individual ship nor does it reflect the condition of materiel
loaded.

(Slide 6)

c. MPF Maintenance Cycle. The MPF Maintenance cycle should be viewed as just
one cycle which was four different phases: Acquisition Phase; Supply Phase; MPF
Maintenance Cycle (MMC) Phase; and Afloat Phase. The general concept is to
provide maintenance and materiel management of the equipment and supplies aboard
the ships through shipboard maintenance personnel, through support from
maintenance and supply support organizations, and thorough maintenance and
replenishment of equipment and supplies during the MMC. The goal of the cycle is
to provide continuous maintenance of the equipment and materiel. Activities that
describe the attainment, maintenance, and replenishment of MPE/S are described
as a continuum because the process is continual.

(Slide 7)

(1) Here is a diagram which shows the duration of each phase in months.

(Slide 8)

d. Acquisition Phase. Changes to the structure/capabilities of MPF MEB's may

necessitate changes to equipment. Because the space aboard the ships is finite
and because of the costs of acquiring additional assets require, planners must

MPF 05
 MPF 05

judiciously select the items and quantities of equipment/supplies to be

prepositioned.

(1) The prepositioned equipment and supplies must be compatible with the
same equipment and supplies used by the MPF MEB designated to marry up with the
equipment and supplies during contingency operations. For this reason, new end
items, modifications, and replacement of expired stocks will take place
continually throughout the life of the program.

(2) A key part of the acquisition phase involves tailoring the PO to meet
the current needs of the MPF MEB.

(Slide 9)

e. Tailoring Process. The objectives of tailoring are the optimization of MEB,

NMCB, FltHosp, and NSE materiel assets placed aboard each MPS, in order to
minimize the FIE strategic airlift and Flight Ferry (FF) requirements.

(1) The current MPF "tailoring" effort is a coordinated Navy and Marine
Corps activity, in which all classes of supplies aboard the ships are reviewed.

(2) Tailoring Conferences are conducted every 36 months to renew the NAVMC
2907 and MEB T/E in support of the upcoming MPS Maintenance Cycle (MMC), then
annually to refine the list of MPE/S to stay current with changing Navy and
Marine Corps force structure and equipment modernization in order to support of
the next MPSRON going into an MMC.

(3) The objective is to annually review, revise, and publish a standard PO

for the equipment and supplies essential to an MPF MEB (including the Equipment
Allowance File (EAF)), Naval Support Element (NSE), Naval Mobile Construction
Battalion (NMCB), and Fleet Hospital (FltHosp) during the first 30 days of
expeditionary combat operations.

(Slide 10)

(4) Any unit can request changed to the PO. Marine units should forward
their recommendations via the chain-of-command to the CMC (LPO-2). Navy changes
are via the chain-of-command to Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), Code N75, with
subsequent transmittal to the CMC (LPO-2) for inclusion.

(a) During the review of the NAVMC 2907 and MEB T/E, each MEF task their
major subordinate elements to review these two documents. It is an internal
decision as to whether the MSE passes that responsibility down to the individual
units or not, but is highly recommended to obtain subject matter expert input.

(b) For any change to occur, it must get TRI-MEF and MARFOR concurrence.

*Instructor Notes. Slides 11 through 13 are currently hidden.

(Slides 14)

(5) Prepositioning Responsibilities. To establish a PO, the following

responsibilities are assigned for the accomplishment of the major tailoring
activities:

(a) HQMC LPO: Chairs the Tailoring Conference

MPF 05
 MPF 05

(b) MARFORs/MEFs: The MARFORs and MEFs nominate the MEB supplies and
equipment to be placed into the PO.

(c) Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFACENGCOM): Coordinates

with Naval Beach Groups (NBG) for input of the NSE portion of the PO, and
provides the funding for the assets.

(Slide 15)

(d) Fleet Hospital Program Office: Coordinates the FltHosp portion of the
PO.

(e) Marine Corps Combat Development Command (MCCDC): Develops

requirements for new Marine Corps equipment affecting the PO.

(f) MARCORSYSCOM: Manages the acquisition of new equipment.

(Slide 16)

(g) MARCORLOGCOM: Accomplishes attainment, transfer, materiel

maintenance, embarkation, and management of selected Marine Corps PO assets.

(h) Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIRSYSCOM): Provides Marine Aviation

Support Equipment (SE) PO items.

(Slide 17)

(6) Tailoring Conference Milestones. There are three conferences that occur,
the Initial, Main, and Final. During and between each of these conferences
certain activities must occur, here is an example of types of issues that are
addressed and activities that take place.

(Slide 18)

(7) Commander’s Guidance. The MEF Commander’s guidance will provide specific
desires for PO equipment/supplies, especially when it comes to armoring assets
or prepositioning newly fielded equipment.

(a) Because there is finite space aboard the ships, a piece of gear or
container will likely have to come off so that another piece of equipment can go
on. The MEF Commander will need to decide what equipment or capability he wants
to sacrifice. The assembly, loading, and stowage of the equipment will be
affected by these decisions.

(b) In this example, the guidance calls for the armoring of all HMG and
TOW HMMWVs and as many basic HMMWV as space will allow. There will also
instances where the MEF commander will have to sacrifice equipment already
aboard the ship to place something else aboard because of the finite space on
the ships.

(Slide 19)

MPF 05
 MPF 05

f. Factors that Influence the PO. All of the factors that were discussed, and
some that were not, have a direct impact on the PO.

(Slide 20)

g. By the end of the final tailoring conference, all of the MARFORs and other
agencies should have had an opportunity to review and provide their Commander’s
Guidance for requirements to the PO and individual MPS loads; as well as, any
discrepancies between the MARFOR Commanders should have been reviewed and
adjudicated by HQMC.

(1) The end result is that the optimum mixture of PEI’s and supplies are
prepositioned aboard the MPF Squadrons to best support a Marine Expeditionary
Brigade for the first 30 days of operations.

(Slide 21)

INTERIM TRANSITION: We have just covered the Key planning documents and
Acquisition Phase of the MMC. Let’s now discuss the Supply Phase.
___________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________
(Slide 22)

h. Supply Phase. The Supply Phase begins immediately upon the delivery of PEIs
and supplies made to a specific government activity.

(1) Inventory activities that manage shelf life expiration dates are
undertaken in this phase; stock rotation is considered. Due to the MMC being
extended to 36 months, shelf life criteria had to be modified. "Type I“ (non-
extendable) have a shelf life 36 months, and at least 30 of the 36 months must
be remaining at the time the MPS sails. “Type II” (extendable) shelf life items
have 24 month shelf life and at least 18 of the 24 months must be remaining at
the time of sail, unless otherwise authorized by the MEF.

(2) Non-Marine Corps assets such as NSE and NMCB will be loaded to MPF
databases for control, but the owning organization will retain accountability.

(3) This phase ends when MPE/S on-load is complete.

(Slide 23)

i. MMC Phase. All MPSs are required by the U. S. Coast Guard and American
Bureau of Shipping (ABS) to undergo periodic recertification inspections. The
periodicity of the recertification drives the Maritime Prepositioning Force (MPF)
Maintenance Cycle (MMC) schedule and requires off-load of MPF equipment and
supplies.

(1) All 16 ships, one at a time, have their equipment and supplies off-
loaded and gets hull inspection. The entire process takes approximately 60 days
from off-load to back-load.

MPF 05
 MPF 05

(2) In order to properly prepare for this off-load, all supporting and
supported organizations must effectively coordinate multiple requirements. A
good example would be the off-load and transportation of the ammunition that
comes off the ships. Ammunition is re-worked at Naval Weapons Station
Charleston, SC, so a lot of coordination and planning is conducting to
accomplish it.

(3) The MMC phase is critical to MPF readiness.

(Slide 24)

j. Here is an example of an MMC schedule.

(Slide 25)

k. So what actually happens to the off-loaded equipment supplies during that 60

day period? It gets inspected, tested, modernized, rotated, and then re-loaded.
While this is going on, the hull gets re-certified.

(Slide 26)

l. Checks and Balance. To ensure adherence to the Commander's intent during

execution of MMC plans, the MEF Commander will conduct periodic Readiness
Inspection Checks (RAC).

(1) The MEF Commander will send a RAC Team will to BICmd review, with BICmd,
the development of ship's deck load, major subordinate command's spread load
plans, appropriate operational plans (e.g., capability sets, mobile load and
container plans). The team will also collect data on equipment associations,
modifications, all stock list (SL) deficiencies, maintenance variations, and
quality assurance issues.

(Slide 27)

(2) The RAC team is made up of representatives of the MEF who will be TAD to
BICmd in support of their MPSRON's MMC. Team composition varies depending on the
commander's intent, but is generally made up of an OIC and embarkation and
supply personnel. The RAC may also provide additional guidance as decisions on
the load out of ships are made.

(3) During their time at BICmd, the RAC team is OPCON to their parent MEF
commander and is ADCON to BICmd during the MMC.

(Slide 28)

M. Afloat Phase. This phase begins at the completion of the MMC Phase upon
embarkation of MPE/S. During the 36-month Afloat Phase, scheduled and non-
scheduled shipboard maintenance is conducted by the MCMC.

(1) The maintenance concept to be used for MPE/S will be that of continual
shipboard maintenance and equipment/supplies surveillance by an embarked MCMC
team. Specific maintenance requirements are contained in the statement of work
(SOW).

(Slide 29)

MPF 05
 MPF 05

(2) Due to the environmental conditions and length of time the equipment is
on the ships, the ships have dehumidified, temp controlled storage, and built-in
maintenance shops is aide in the preservation of the equipment.

(3) There are Maintenance Contract Teams embarked aboard the ships. They are
civilian contractors who live and work on the ship. They generally do a 2 to 4
month rotation. Their primary responsibility is to maintain Marine Corps
equipment/supplies as outlined in a statement of work (SOW).

(4) The SOW is a contract that outlines the MCMC’s responsibilities, examples
are: conduct cyclic inventory and cyclic stock surveillance; perform preventive
and corrective maintenance as directed; exercise and reprocess of all Principal
End Items (PEI) in accordance with specific instructions and schedules; perform
modifications as directed; conduct stock rotations as directed for items with
shelf-life; and maintenance of libraries that support the maintenance concept.

(Slide 30)

N. The MEF conducts yearly exercises which allow for the off-load and servicing
of selected MPF equipment. Because everything is administratively loaded on the
ships, these exercises play an important part of the MMC. During Exercise
Planning, the MEF will decide the quantity and type of equipment to be
exercised. The MEF will inform MARCORLOGCOM via message of these requirements.
Via message, the MARCORLOGCOM (BICmd) will then inform MCMC of these decisions
and instruct the MCMC to begin initial preparations for issuing the equipment.

(Slide 31)

TRANSITION: We have just covered the MPF Maintenance Cycle. Are there any
questions? Question: Which phase begins with the delivery of supplies? Answer:
The Supply Phase. Let’s now discuss the Key Commands.
________________________________________________________________________________

______________________________________-
_____________________________________________
(Slides 32 & 33)

2. KEY COMMANDS

a. Effective MMC planning requires detailed and coordinated efforts among

Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC), the supporting establishment, the operating
forces, and agencies external to the Marine Corps. There will be extensive
coordination and liaison between numerous agencies and organizations. This
section provides information on the chief organizations that provide the bulk of
the logistical support, planning, coordination for the MMC.

(Slide 34)

b. MARCORLOGCOM. The command that provides the most support to the MPF program
is MARCORLOGCOM. It is responsible managing the program and budget for all MMC
maintenance, MPF containers, and maintenance support activities, less aviation
SE, NSE, FltHosp, NMCB, and class V(A).

MPF 05
 MPF 05

(1) It also provides fiscal accounting support for the MMC. Coordinate with
the operating force commanders to prepare MMC plans. Exercise responsibility for
attainment of MPF ground equipment and materiel. Provide coordination services
for prepositioning of aviation SE, NSE, and ammunition.

(2) MARCORLOGCOM has three major subordinate elements which play a

significant role the MPF program. They are the Maintenance Centers in Albany, GA
and Barstow, CA; and Blount Island Command in Jacksonville Florida, which will
be the main focus for today’s lesson.

(Slides 35 & 36)

c. Blount Island Command (BICmd). BICmd provides the command and control for
all government activities in connection with maintenance of prepositioned
assets. It manages both the Marine Corps Prepositioning Program-Norway (MCPP-N)
and the MPF program.

(Slide 37)

(1) BICmd prepares, corrects and submits, and execute MMC plans as that are
used during each MMC. BICmd also maintains an automated information system
(MDSS II) that provides accurate and complete data to all supported systems used
to account, track, and manage prepositioned assets. It maintains this historical
data for at least 3 years after associated actions are complete.

(2) BICmd coordinates the efforts of the following liaison/support personnel

at BICmd:

(a)Military Sealift Command

(b) NSE personnel

(c) NMCB personnel

(d) FltHosp personnel

(e) Liaison personnel

(f) Readiness Acceptance Check (RAC) personnel.

(g) Aviation Support Management Branch (ASMB)

(h) Other personnel on Temporary Additional Duty (TAD)

(i) Navy Cargo and Handling Battalion

(3) The chief means in which BICmd manages the logistics efforts is by
publishing standing operating procedures (SOP) for administration, property
control (less NAVAIR provided assets which are to be coordinated with aviation
support equipment branch), public affairs, security, safety, and legal
procedures, RAC team lodgment and support, and personal conduct for all
personnel on site.

MPF 05
 MPF 05

(Slide 38)

(4) BICmd Facilities. BICmd has the ability to store, stage, and conduct
maintenance on the equipment for the MPF program. Its maintenance facility,
which is called “Big Blue” is quite impressive.

(Slide 39)

d. Planning Documents. The planning documents which BICmd creates for the MMC
are very detailed and provide information on every aspect of the MMC. Through
RAC Teams, the MEFs review the plans and submit recommended changes as required.
BICmd will then make every attempt to incorporate the recommend changes.

(Slide 40)

(1) The first set of plans created by BICmd and provided to the MEF will be
the five or six ship spread load, squadron, and individual ship's major
subordinate commands distribution plan, squadron CL III, IX (B), (S), and (C)
distribution, and the ship's square load plans with rough draft deck diagrams.
The squadron spread load plan will allocate FltHosp, NMCB, EAF, aviation SE,
NSE, and ground CL II, IV, and VII PEI's across each of the squadron's ships.

(a) MPSRON spread load plan: Ensures to the maximum extent possible that
PEIs are embarked in accordance with MCO P3000.1 7A. End items normally cannot
be stowed on a ship to increase their priority in the MPSRON offload sequence
unless this asset provides a capability that is essential to the forces, it was
loaded in error during a previous cycle or the unload sequence of the ships is
changed. This is especially true for stores account code one (SAC 1) assets
funded by BICmd.

(b) MSC Distribution Plan: The MSE plan assigns PEIs to a specific MSE;
e.g., GCE or ACE. This allocation of assets is determined by requirements stated
in the published MEB TIE and complies with the quantities listed in NAVMC 2907.

(c) Square Load Plan: The square load plan identifies all rolling stock
and break bulk (MPSRON 2) items, plus any deck-loaded containers.

(1) The primary tools for this plan are the MDSS II and ICODES. These
systems function to provide a database and two dimensional deck diagrams.

(d) Upon incorporating the MEF's requested squadron plan changes, the 2nd
set of plans will be prepared and provided to the MEF prior to a ship’s MMC.

(Slide 41)

(2) The second set of plans include: the first ship of the cycle's Master,
SL-3, association, mobile load, container, capability set, armory, and MRE
plans.

(a) Master Plan: The master plan provides information needed to identify
all assets being loaded in containers, mobile-loaded, square loaded or in the
armory. The plan shall list all FltHosp, NMCB, EAF, NSE, aviation SE, and USMC
ground CL II, IV, and VII assets by major subordinate commands.

MPF 05
 MPF 05

(b) Association Plan: The association plan is made up of those items that
are not SL-3 using unit responsible items, but are required or desired by the
forces to be loaded with another PEI.

(c) Mobile Load Plan: The mobile load plan identifies the MPE/S that are
to be loaded on vehicles and trailers. The mobile load will, to the greatest
extent possible, be assigned to the same MSE as the PEI. While exceptions to
this policy are unavoidable, they must be kept to a minimum and identified to
the MEF. Several mobile load reports provide different levels of information.
The "commodity mobile load report" provides the greatest amount of details to
the readers. It lists information on assets to be loaded on a particular
platform; the owning unit; if vehicles have a winch; stowage location; and
maximum height allowed.

(Slide 42)

(d) Container Plan: The container plan provides each MSE a listing of all
items and capability and habitability sets components to be containerized.
Whenever possible, sustainment MPE/S should be loaded into containers to
increase mobile loading capacity. Several variations of the container plan
provide vital information to personnel loading or configuring the equipment.

(e) Capability Sets Plans: Before an MMC, the MEF commander is responsible
for submitting recommended changes to the Capability set plans.

(1) The same sets exist in each MPSRON, but the contents may be loaded
differently in set containers. Once BICmd receives the lists of assets making up
each of the Capability sets, their contractors must ensure current POs and
previous maintenance cycle's ships breakout facilitate the commander's desires.

(2) Capability sets are designated by MSEs and should be filled by that
MSEs PEI allocations. Sets are normally located on the weather decks for rapid
access in a contingency.

(Slide 43)

e. Here are examples of how a container and capability set plan may look
like.

(Slide 44)

f. Other plans BICmd creates are the following:

(1) Battery Plan: The battery plan shows the breakout by ship of the
battery core block listed in NAVMC 2907.

(2) POL (Class Ill) Plan: The POL (Class III) plan shows the breakout by
ship of the packaged POL block listed in NAVMC 2907.

(3) MRE (Class I) Plan: The MRE plan shows the quantity of MREs and the
required containers to be loaded on each MPS.

MPF 05
 MPF 05

(4) Repair Part (Class IX) Plan: Repair parts for prepositioned and FIE
assets are loaded on only the primary and alternate flagships.

(5) SL-3 TAMCN Plan: In accordance with MCO P4400.150 series, NAVMAC 2907
captures SL-3 items listed under "Using Unit Responsibility" assigned a TAMCN
and included on a unit's T/E. The SL-3 plan was developed to ensure these TAMCN
controlled SL- 3 items are loaded with the proper PEI.

(6) Communications and Information Systems and OPP Plans: The

communications and information systems (CIS) plan lists those items the
shipboard MCMC feels is necessary to maintain prepositioned equipment while
afloat. The OPP plans lists those items prepositioned aboard each of the vessels
in support of the OPP and debarkation teams when pre

(7) Armory Plan: The armory plan consists of all items to be loaded into
the armory for security reasons. This includes all weapons organic to tanks,
LAVs, AAVs, and pilferable items such as data scopes and binoculars. The armory
association plan provides a list of the weapons systems and their associated
weapons with the quantity to be loaded.

(Slide 45)

g. End of Ship Reports. At the conclusion of each ship's MMC phase, the MEF
is provided “End of Ship” reports. Included in these reports is ICODES and MDSS
II load plan data information; as well as, ground support equipment and
supplies, ammunition, FltHosp, EAF, NMCB, NSE CL II, III, VII, and aviation SE,
and a Defense Medical Logistics Support System (DMLSS) information.

(1) These reports are maintained by BICmd, MARFORPAC, MARFORLANT, all

three MEFs, and their MSEs.

(Slide 46)

TRANSITION: We have just covered the plans and reports BICmd creates during the
MMC. Are there any questions? Question: What are the first set of plans provided
by BICmd? the delivery of supplies? Answer: MPSRON’s ship spread load,
squadron, and individual ship's MSC distribution plan, squadron CL III, IX (B),
(S), and (C) distribution, and the ship's square load plans. Let’s now discuss
the MCPIC Website.

3. MCPIC WEBSITE

a. If you take away nothing else from this class, remember this the website.
It was created and is managed by BICmd. It’s a great resource for information.

b. To access the site you request an account. It usually takes two days for
the approval to come back and then you are in.

(Slide 48)

c. This is the main page you come to when you log. It’s a little busy;
however, you can customize to where only certain things are showning.

(Slide 49)

d. Well, I said it is a great resource for information, so let’s take a look

at some of the information you can view. Under “Reference & Information” you can
access all MPF related publications. There is also a section called “Knowledge
Management Explorer”.

(Slide 50)

e. In the “Knowledge Management Explorer” section, you’ll see the most

popular links displayed up front, one of which is the MMC-9 schedule. By
clicking on that link you’ll be able to see it.

(Slide 51)

f. Here is the MMC-9 schedule. It shows timesline of when the ships of the
MPSRONs are going through their MMC phase.

(Slide 52, 53, & 54)

g. There is also a section called “Ship Knowledge Navigator”. Which always

you to focus on one particular ship. In this example, were going pick the
Obregon. You be able to view files and plans that pertain to that particular
ship.

(1) The best thing to do is the navigate all over this website. You can
literally spend hours going through the diffent sections.

(Slide 55)

TRANSITION: We have just covered the MICPIC Website that was created and is
managed by BICmd. Are there any questions?

SUMMARY (1 MIN)

This class has covered the

key publications that serve as the baseline for the PO; it covered the MPF
Maintenance Cycle, its phases, and the plans that are created by BICmd; and it
covered a very useful resource tool, the MICPIC website, which has information
such as MMC schedules. With this information, I am confident that you will be an
effective staff planner during an MPF operation.

Let’s take a 10 minute break.
