the future, OEM personnel will conduct operator and maintainer Instructor and Key
Personnel Training (I&KPT) to support transition from contractor provided training to a
Government training capability. Vehicle manufacturers will conduct operator and
maintainer I&KPT at respective facilities. After transitioning to government support,
training will be accomplished by leveraging existing or future institutional and unit
training programs with the addition of tailored MRAP vehicle simulation/simulators and
NET. In support of institutional training existing training facilities will be modernized to
address MRAP unique characteristics and requirements. As the Training Support Plan is
solidified, these details will be provided in future updates.
MRAP vehicle activities at each installation are required to comply with federal, state
and local environmental laws and regulations. In this regard, personnel at each training
installation have a responsibility for obtaining all necessary air emission permits,
wastewater discharge permits and other environmental permits that may be applicable
to MRAP training activities. Except for the modernization of existing facilities, it is not
currently anticipated that training requirements for the MRAP system will increase
infrastructure requirements at training locations. However, if infrastructure expansion
or other activities of significant impact are later deemed necessary, installation
personnel at training facilities must ensure that the appropriate NEPA analysis is
conducted prior to initiation of MRAP training activities. It is the responsibility of the
JPO to provide training installations with any required and requested information in
support of this analysis and document preparation.
2.6 Vehicle Fielding
The JPO has the responsibility for fielding of the MRAP vehicles. MRAP fielding consists
of final preparation of the vehicles prior to shipment as well as support and
maintenance activities after the units receive the vehicles. Integration of the GFE and
preparation of the MRAP vehicles for shipment occurs at SPAWAR System Center,
Charleston, SC. MRAP vehicle are fielded to various CONUS and OCONUS locations.
MRAP deprocessing activities occur as part of vehicle fielding. Deprocessing activities by
the Material Fielding Team (MFT) includes the necessary maintenance activities and
final integration of MRAP vehicle components. The deprocessing activities occur prior
to the military units receiving the MRAP vehicles.
The MRAP vehicles are transported by highway, rail, air and sea. Highway transport is
accomplished by a semi‐truck and trailer. The MRAP vehicles are transportable on all
strategic marine transport vessels for worldwide deployments.
The JPO intends to support the MRAP FoV with an ICLS approach for a period of 12 to 24
months, which will include the use of a combination of OEM and Government FSRs. The
CLS FSRs provide MRAP maintenance guidance, supply, OJT and logistics support. ICLS
includes commercial operator and maintenance manuals; limited on board diagnostics;
