Chapter 1INTRODUCTION1–1. Purpose.This regulationa.Establishes basic Army Medical Department (AMEDD) policy and procedures to develop, acquire, and fieldmedical materiel used by the Army.b. Supplements basic Army policies and procedures as outlined in AR 70-1 and AR 1000-1.c. Expands on the responsibilities for medical materiel development cited in AR 40-61.1–2. Applicability.This regulation applies to the Active Army. It also applies to the US Army Reserve (USAR) and the Army NationalGuard. (ARNG) for budgeting, procurement, fielding, and redistribution of equipment. (See chaps 3 and 4.)1–3. Impact on the New Manning System.This regulation does not contain information that affects the New Manning System.1–4. Scope.a. This regulation describes the materiel acquisition process from initiation (identification of mission need ormission profile) through successful completion of development, procurement, deployment, and management. Theacquisition process satisfies materiel requirements generated by doctrinal and organizational revisions to table(s) oforganization and equipment (TOE). It further satisfies user-generated requirements, state-of-the-art advancement andinitiatives to enhance materiel readiness.b. The Program Management Plan (PMP) addresses systems under development. It will be revised to conform to thisregulation to the extent such revision is practicable.1–5. References.Required and related references are listed in appendix A.1–6. Explanation of abbreviations and terms.Abbreviations and special terms used in this regulation are explained in the glossary.1–7. Objectives.The objectives of the acquisition process for medical materiel systems are toa.Outline procedures for developing and acquiring materiel systems from investigation of the materiel conceptthrough deployment to the Army in the field.b. Insure that materiel provided to the Army in the field meets approved operational requirements and is capable ofbeing manned effectively and supported logistically.c. Insure all materiel fielded is safe for use as determined by a health hazard assessment(HHA).d. Identify organizational policies and responsibilities and implement an effective management structure to developand acquire medical materiel.e. Modernize medical assemblages and enhance overall TOE development and materiel readiness.f. Improve coordination and staffing within the AMEDD and between major Army commands (MACOMs).g. Provide effective materiel systems to maintain the health of the forces when considering demands on the deliveryof health care created by technological advancements in combat weapons and tactics.1–8. Policies.a. A formal memorandum of understanding may be initiated between responsible commands and proper fieldactivities of TSG to support this regulation.b. Review and development of medical assemblages will coincide with the cyclic review of the TOE that theysupport.c. Medical materiel proposals will be assessed for potential acquisition and nondevelopment items (NDIs).d. Investment medical materiel (unit cost of $3,000 or more) and initial fielding of medical assemblages will beprogrammed centrally and funded by TSG.e. After formal approval by TSG, the acquisition process for medical materiel will be conducted according to anAMEDD Priority Program (PRIPROG) developed by the-(1) Academy of Health Sciences, US Army (AHS).(2) US Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC).(3) US Army Medical Materiel Agency (USAMMA).(4) Army Medical Department Technical Committee (AMDTC).AR 40–60 • 15 March 19831
