 ACQUISITION PHASE

 Continues through the life of MPF Program.

 MPF MEB structure and capabilities
continues to change.

MPE/S modifications, replacement, or new
equipment requirement.
 Tailoring

MPF-05 8
 Tailoring Process

 Goal: provide a PO that supports the requirements for

the MPF MEB, NMCB, FltHosp, and NSE material
aboard each MPS.
 Coordinated Navy and Marine Corps activity.
 Tailoring conferences conducted every 36 mo.
-Review, revise, and publish standard PO for E/S to ensure
interoperability and materiel management within MPF program.
***All classes of supplies are reviewed.
MPF-05 9
 Tailoring Process, continued…


PO change Requests:
- Each MEF reviews MCBul 3501 and NAVMC 2907 and
forward changes to respective MARFORs.

- Discussed at Tailoring Conference to ensure all

participating members agree the capability is required in the
initial 30 days of operations.

- Upon TRI-MEF, MARFORPAC/EUR concurrence,

recommendation is approved and the NAVMC 2907 is
tailored accordingly.

MPF-05 10
 Tailoring Process, continued…

 Tier I Tailoring (T1T):

– Required due to major changes in Load/Ship
configuration which effect AAO/ConOps
– Occurs every 36 months; completed 2 yrs prior to
New MMC.
– SqFt Apportionment: USMC, NSE, FH, NMCB
– Container Apportionment: USMC (Class I, III, IV, V,
VIII, IX), NSE, FH, NMCB
– Lead: HQMC (POE/LPO)/OPNAV(N75/N42);
– Support: LOGCOM, MARFOR, NBG, NMCB, FH
MPF-05 11
 Tailoring Process, continued…
 Tier II Tailoring (T2T):
– Required due to Major Class II/VII changes for
USMC, NSE, FH, NMCB as a result of changes in
T/O, T/E, and/or ConOps
– Occurs every 36 months; completed 1 yr prior to
New MMC
– Lead: HQMC (POE/LPO)/OPNAV(N75/N42);
– Support: MCCDC (TFS), MCSC (PMs), LOGCOM
(PWR), MARFOR (G3/G4), OPNAV(N75, N42,
N441, N931), NMCB, NBG, FH (PM)
– Does not affect T1T parameters (ie., Space
Apportionment)

MPF-05 12
 Tailoring Process, continued…
 Tier III Tailoring (T3T):
– Required due to Modernization (rotation,
modifications, new acquisitions, etc.,)
– Occurs every year; completed 6 months prior to
each MPSRON MMC
– Ability to tailor all classes of supply within set
parameters
– Leads: See next slide; Plus add specific Navy
Program managers (FH), NSE, and NMCB
– Support: POWG, MARFOR, NBG,
– Does not affect T1T or T2T parameters (ie.,
Space Apportionment and Class II/VII PO)
MPF-05 13
 Tailoring Process, continued…


Prepositioning Responsibilities:
-HQMC LPO: Chairs Tailoring Conference

-MARFORs / MEFs: nominate MEB supplies and equipment to

be placed into the PO.

-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.

MPF-05 14
 Prepositioning Responsibilities,
continued…

-Fleet Hospital Program Office: coordinates the FltHosp

portion of the PO.

-Marine Corps Combat Development Command (MCCDC):

develops requirements for new Marine Corps equipment
affecting the PO.

-MARCORSYSCOM: manages the acquisition of new

equipment.

MPF-05 15
 Prepositioning Responsibilities,
continued…

-MARCORLOGCOM: accomplishes attainment, transfer,

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

-Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIRSYSCOM):

provides Marine Aviation Support Equipment (SE) PO items.

 Tailoring Process, continued…

 By the conclusion of the Tailoring Process …

-All MARFORS and other agencies had an opportunity to review
and provide their Commander’s Guidance for requirements to the PO
and individual MPS loads.

-All discrepancies between MARFOR Commanders are reviewed

and adjudicated by HQMC.

-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.
