policies and procedures for the acquisition of medical materiel

C–20. Event 20: MADP Review (DVAL).A review chaired by the chairman, as designated according to paragraph 3-55(3), will be convened to recommendproceeding into full-scale development (Phase II). Recommendations for testing should be included in the review. Theminutes of the review will be provided to the AMDTC for approval. (See events 21 and 22.)C–21. Event 21: Submission of Read Ahead Package.The combat developer (AHS) will submit the finalized MES component listing and IPR minutes in a read aheadpackage to all AMDTC members for review. The ICTP, the prototype packing assessment, logistical analysis, materielfielding plan, and requirements for testing of the prototype MES will also be presented to the AM’D TC for approvalas part of the read ahead package.C–22. Event 22: AMDTC Decision Review.Upon completion of AMDTC staffing, the combat developer (AHS) will formally present the MES to the AMDTC forTSG approval. Approval constitutes type classification of the MES for the AMEDD contingent upon all otherregulatory requirements being accomplished (DA approved FBOIP, QQPRI, and approved requirements document) andinitiates the Production and Deployment Phase. If AMDTC mandates testing of the MES, type classification approval iswithheld pending results of events 23 through 29.C–23. Events 23 and 24: Prototype Testing.Approval of the testing recommendations by the AMDTC will initiate these actions. Testing of MES will normally beaccomplished by CEP Testing or Force Development Testing and Experimentation (FDTE); however, OT may beconducted as required. Policies for conducting these tests are set forth in chapter 5 of this regulation and in AR 71-3.C–24. Event 25: Independent Evaluation Report (IER).The combat developer prepares the IER. The JER provides an assessment of the test results and identifies specificpoints and issues that may need clarification or reevaluation.C–25. Event 26: MADP Review (Full-Scale Development).Significant problems or deficiencies identified during testing, for which the corrective actions will significantly alter thecomposition of the MES, will be resolved by MADP review and approved by the AMDTC.C–26. Events 27 and 28: AMDTC Decision Review.This review is required only when significant changes are recommended by the MADP review, based on testing results.C–27. Events 29 an 30: Type Classification Package Preparation.Approval, and SB 700-20Update. The logistician provides the. type classification documentation support package to theAMEDD Technical Committee. The ’Read for the Record’ document is authenticated and submitted to HQ, DARCOMfor recording and later staffing by DCSOPS. SB 700-20 is updated with the assignment of the permanent LIN to theMES.C–28. Event 31: TOE Update.When the MES has been type classified, assigned Standard UN, and published in SB 700-20, chapter 2, CG, TRADOCwill apply the MES to the TOE in the semiannual consolidated change table (CCT). Based on receipt of the CCT,MACOM will apply MES to MTOE for units under their jurisdiction. These MTOEs serve as authorization for units inthe field to requisition the MES and its component parts.C–29. Event 32: Publication of Doctrine and Training Manuals.The training developer will initiate the publication of these manuals and other supporting literature (i.e., Army Trainingand Evaluation Program ARTEP)) to meet first unit equipped date (FUED).C–30. Event 33: MES Component Standardization.The logistician (USAMMA) will initiate actions to the DMMB to standardize all components to the MES that do notrequire developmental efforts.C–31. Event 34: Publish Supply Catalogs.Based on the final approved MES development listing, and congruent with fielding, USAMMA will publish supplycatalogs.40 AR 40–60 • 15 March 1983
