<strong>Army</strong> <strong>MRAP</strong> <strong>Vehicle</strong> <strong>Program</strong> <strong>Program</strong>matic <strong>Environmental</strong> Assessment December 2010<br />

The requirements for Joint <strong>MRAP</strong> vehicles across the Services grew from an initial 1,185<br />

vehicles to 7,774 vehicles cited in the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC)<br />

validated Capabilities Production Document (CPD) of May 2007, to an interim<br />

requirement of 15,838 vehicles validated in July 2008. As of November 2010, 26,767<br />

<strong>MRAP</strong> vehicles have been fielded. 19,409 of which are USA assets. Initial Contractor<br />

Logistics Support (ICLS) will continue to provide a means for <strong>MRAP</strong> sustainment and<br />

operation until DoD Logistic support capabilities are fully established.<br />

The final production facilities’ locations are as follows:<br />

� BAE‐TVS: Sealy, TX<br />

� BAE Systems: Santa Clara, CA<br />

� FPII: Ladson, SC<br />

� GDLS‐C: London, Ontario<br />

� Navistar Defense LLC: Warrenville, IL<br />

� OTC: Oshkosh, WI & JLG Industries McConnellsburg, PA<br />

Production facilities located within the U.S. are required to comply with federal, state<br />

and local environmental laws and regulations. In this regard, each manufacturing<br />

facility is responsible for obtaining all necessary air emission permits, wastewater<br />

discharge permits and other environmental permits that may be applicable to <strong>MRAP</strong><br />

production/manufacturing activities.<br />

The Government has also established a GFE integration facility at the Space and Naval<br />

Warfare (SPAWAR) Systems <strong>Center</strong>, Charleston, SC. The integration of Service unique<br />

systems onto the various <strong>MRAP</strong> vehicles occurs at the SPAWAR System <strong>Center</strong>. The<br />

manufacturers delivered vehicles to SPAWAR for integration with GFE and preparation<br />

for shipment prior to transport.<br />

2.5 <strong>Vehicle</strong> Training<br />

<strong>MRAP</strong> vehicle operators and maintainers will require certain system‐specific training. In<br />

order to support immediate operations, training is currently being conducted using<br />

Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) (i.e. contractors rather than government personnel<br />

provide training) both within Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside<br />

Continental United States (OCONUS). In the future, training is planned to transition from<br />

CLS to organic DoD support.<br />

Currently, to support theater operations, contractors provide User Test (UT) Training<br />

and New Equipment Training (NET). They also provide operator and maintainer course<br />

curricula. NET includes all critical (core) operator, crew and maintainer tasks using<br />

appropriate manuals, tools and support equipment. Maintainer training in the near<br />

term will consist of On‐the‐Job Training (OJT) monitored by Field Service<br />

Representatives (FSRs) in theater. Contractors will conduct additional instructor,<br />
