1. DOKPS – Comm Supply & Logistics LtCol Steve Haney

2. Comm Logistics – National View  Over 35,000 ITEMS  Over 10,000 EF Johnson items:  Base Stations, Mobiles, Portables and Chargers  Over 10,000 ISR Radios  Over 3,500 Power Supplies of all types

3. Accountability  Between 2003 and 2013 about $33 Million DoD funds expended  CAPR174-1 Requires Accountability  ORMS Allows Management  Items under $500 acquisition cost now listed as:  “Tracked Expendable Item”  Still inventoried, but disposal and ROS are simpler

4. Inventory  CAPR 174-1, 26 Dec 2012 Change 3  Inventory is from 1 Oct - 31 Dec  “JUST DO IT”  Start Early, Identify Problems and Fix Them  Example: Florida Wing  Most charters  Almost as many charters as Rocky Mountain Region  Well over 90% complete by the end of October  Comm Managers need to watch and intervene at all levels  IF YOU NEED HELP, ASK!

5. New Equipment  Not much coming down  DOK working on additional funding  “Pull” not “Push” distribution system  If you need it, Ask (and be able to justify)  Read the TA, ask if you need help  If you have something you don’t need, turn it in to the NTC or you may be directed to dispose of it

6. Adding Items to ORMS  New additions must be approved by the wing DC  Still having problems with “Garbage in, Garbage out” data  Wing Financial Analysts are watching for items being added  Buy something over $500, they expect it to show up on ORMS -- as required by regulation

7. Comm “Managers”  DC’s and DCS’s need to insure property is managed  Look at reports, talk to units, go to activities  Move equipment as needed  Equipment MUST be utilized  NO SPARES  Tactical Repeaters and Rapid Deployment Kits may be “on the shelf”  Most other equipment should be in the users hands  Overall, too much equipment in wing’s accounts  This is costing us – more than you know

8. Comm Assessment Program  Program is closed  Many wings and regions had great improvement  DOKPS will continue performing spot assessments on a “rolling” basis  Using wing compliance inspection schedule  Having your “Paperwork” in order is fine, but utilizing equipment properly is the goal of the assessment program
