IOC for CTA8-100 items will be non-critical because of the local command decision process. B–31. Event 40: Follow-On Evaluation (FOE).a. References.(1) AR 7-1.(2) AR 471-3.(3) AR 700-127.b. Description. The combat developer may monitor and evaluate logistical support and operational aspects of theNDI program by using FOE by the initial units receiving the NDI equipment. This feedback will indicate anyshortcomings requiring corrective actions.Appendix CMEDICAL EQUIPMENT SET (MES) ACQUISITION MODELNote: See the MES acquisition flow chart (fig 3-2), a fold-in page, at the end of the regular-size pages.C–1.
