MEMORANDUM FOR Forces Command Material Management Center (FMCC/LTC<br />
Shnell), 1777 Hardee Street, Building 200, Fort McPherson, GA 30330-1062<br />
SUBJECT: Request for Subject Matter Expert (SME)<br />
1. Reference. Telephone conversation between Mr. Counts, Director of Logistics, Fort<br />
Riley, and Mr. Goodwrench, Chief, FMMC, AMC, 12 Aug xx, SAB.<br />
2. Purpose. To request a SME from FMMC during the period of 6—11 Oct xx, to assist us<br />
in evaluating the maintenance system for our Directorate of Logistics existing cargo truck<br />
fleet and to develop options and requirements for the possible repair or replacement of the<br />
trucks.<br />
3. Background. Fort Riley’s installation truck fleet (DeLorean 500 5-ton cargo) has an<br />
average age of 28 years. We have experienced a steady rise in vehicle accidents with these<br />
trucks because of mechanical failures. While we are intensifying our maintenance focus on<br />
the trucks for the short term, we are committed to providing a safe environment for our<br />
soldiers and civilians for the long term. Accordingly, we are investigating whether to<br />
overhaul the current fleet or to purchase a new fleet as soon as the new fiscal year begins.<br />
4. Request. We request a SME with the expertise to examine our current maintenance<br />
program, to assess the condition of our fleet, and to determine the cost-effectiveness of<br />
overhauling the fleet. We are particularly concerned about the cost-effectiveness of<br />
overhauling a fleet of this model and of this age. We will fund the temporary duty and travel<br />
expenses for the SME; we estimate that the SME will need a week to complete the<br />
assessment. We have assigned an action officer to assist the SME with the assessment and<br />
with coordination on Fort Riley.<br />
5. The point of contact is Captain Knott N. Kontrol, Action <strong>Officer</strong>, DOL, DSN 123-6789.<br />
