espond to and recover from a select range of CBRN incidents. Awareness-level capability is the lowest common level
of preparedness for installations. Training included computer-based training products for CBRN awareness for the
installation population and CBRN incident response and management training for command staff, law enforcement/
security personnel, firefighters, and medical personnel.
14–3. Equipment accountability
a. Property book. During the fielding process, DOL Supply Services shall ensure that the property book officer or
designated representative signs for all material from either the JPM–IPP or AEFRP fielding team. Property book
records must provide a complete audit trail for all transactions per AR 710–2.
Note. Equipment with specific accountability requirements must be maintained on the installation’s property book per AR 710–2 and
shall not be hand-receipted on a DD Form 1150 or a DA Form 3161. All radiological detectors, detectors with radiological
components, communications equipment, and computers must be tracked, maintained, and periodically inventoried for the record
regardless of the threshold value for serial-numbered equipment requiring maintenance and calibration.
b. Supply actions. Per AR 710–2, all property must be classified as nonexpendable, controlled, durable, or expendable
within the accountability process. All property must also have an accountability tag or device attached to it, which
is capable of being digitally scanned or read by appropriate information technology.
c. Table of distribution and allowances. Per AR 71–32, AR 570–7, and DA Pam 708–3, all equipment required by a
command for its assigned missions, functions, and tasks must be justified, documented, and approved for retention.
Each installation shall align their table of distribution and allowances (TDA) to incorporate installation EM program
requirements in coordination with their respective installation-owning command. TDA elements should be aligned to
their respective installation type designation and with the basis of allocation for material fielded under JPMG–IPP, if
applicable.
(1) Process. This publication provides an overview of the TDA change process to reflect increased Army EM
Program requirements. Commands must submit changes in their authorizations document (TDA) to their higher
headquarters.
(a) Army commands, Army service component commands, and direct reporting units. These commands may receive
assistance from the U.S. Army Force Management Support Agency (USAFMSA) in making the changes to their TDA
and requesting an Equipment Survey, if less than the required 3-year period (see AR 570–7).
(b) Format. All equipment change requests will be submitted to USAFMSA in WinTAADS Format 9.3 version or
higher, using the format listed in the FMSWeb 4610–R tool request window located on the USAFMSA Web site https:/
/webtaads.belvoir.army.mil/usafmsa.
(c) Line item numbers. The equipment must be cataloged and have a line item number or nonspecific line item
number and national stock number assigned in order for an item to be documented and included on the TDA. TACOM
has been working to get most required (accountable equipment) cataloged per DA Pam 708–3.
(2) Procedures for changing table of distribution and allowances equipment. There are 2 options for making
changes to the TDA: the TDA equipment change package or only a DA Form 4610–R. Check with the supporting
DOL prior to submission to ensure their requirements are addressed.
(a) Table of distribution equipment change package. An installation submits a complete TDA equipment change
package through the installation manpower, equipment, and documentation representative within DOL to their respective
headquarters. A TDA equipment change request package consists of a memorandum of transmittal, complete and
properly prepared DA Forms 4610–R, and any supporting data required. DOL shall review all requests prior to
submission in order to ensure compliance with regulations. As applicable, the higher headquarters will approve,
disapprove, or forward the request to USAFMSA. The initiator will be notified through the chain of command of the
request status.
Note. Prepare a memorandum of transmittal for “DA Controlled” equipment, which requires USAFMSA approval. Each memorandum
of transmittal will contain DA Forms 4610–R for no more than one unit identification code. Subject of transmittal memorandum
should indicate “DA Controlled” status (that is, request for DA-controlled equipment).
(b) DA Form 4610–R Submission. Submit DA Form 4610–R (Equipment Change to TDA) any time during the year.
To ensure proper completion of DA Form 4610–R, review the checklist in AR 71–32. Do not simultaneously submit a
DA Form 4610–R to delete equipment, unless the deletion is directly related to the addition of new equipment. Explain
these deletions on DA Form 2028 when submitted with the TDA update. DOL will review and submit the forms to
their respective headquarters or may hold these requests in abeyance if the installation is within 90 days of undergoing
a scheduled equipment survey under AR 570–7. If applicable, the command equipment authorization team will address
these requirements during their onsite visit.
14–4. Joint program manager–installation protection program and Army emergency first responder
program sustainment processes
a. Fielding and sustainment costs. The Army will spend approximately $5M - $7M per year on the sustainment
costs for the equipment fielded under JPM–IPP and AEFRP, which have been fielded with Joint and Service funding,
respectively. The approximate cost of fielding JPM–IPP equipment was $2.1M per Tier 2 installations and $1.4M per
