CHAPTER 2. SUPPORT FOR CLASS VIII MEDICAL MATERIEL 

2-1. “AN ARMY AT WAR” ARMY TRANSFORMATION/MEDICAL LOGISTICS 

SUPPORT /AMEDD MODULARITY/PPBE/ARMY RESERVE FORCE GENERATION 

Army/AMEDD priorities drive how USAMMA pursues its mission and vision. In addition 

to fighting the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT), the Army is conducting its most 

comprehensive transformation of forces since early World War II. Specifically, the 

Army Campaign Plan (ACP) and Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN) provide direction 

for the full range of tasks necessary to achieve these goals and provide relevant and 

ready forces including: 

♦ Restructuring the force, 

♦ Creating modular capabilities, and 

♦ Obtaining optimal balance between AC and RC force structure. 

These endeavors, combined with tighter budgets, are the major factors influencing 

Army/AMEDD priorities. Accordingly, these priorities form the basis for USAMMA’s 

fielding schedule, Management Decision Package (MDEP) funds execution, and 

Program Objective Memorandum (POM) requirements. 

2-2. ARMY MEDICAL LOGISTICS OVERVIEW 

a. To better appreciate Army Medical Logistics (MEDLOG) it is important to 

understand the different perspectives surrounding our commodity. One viewpoint of 

MEDLOG may differ from another depending on variables such as logistical support for 

field medicine versus MTF, wholesale supply versus retail supply, acquisition logistics 

versus operational logistics. Accordingly, the following information discusses the 

definition, characteristics, organizations and functions associated with Army MEDLOG. 

b. Logistics is defined in many areas. The following descriptions apply to the 

MEDLOG: 

(1) In lay terms, logistics is the science of planning, organizing and 

managing activities that provide goods or services. An expanded definition includes 

implementing the acquisition and use of resources necessary to sustain the operation 

of a system. Generally, logistics considers supply, maintenance, transportation, 

facilities, services, and related information systems functions. 

(2) According to the DOD Dictionary, logistics is the science of planning 

and carrying out the movement and maintenance of forces. In its most 

comprehensive sense, those aspects of military operations which deal with: 

♦ Design and development, acquisition, storage, movement; 

distribution, maintenance, evacuation, and disposition of materiel; 

♦ Movement, evacuation, and hospitalization of personnel; 

♦ Acquisition or construction, maintenance, operation; 

♦ Disposition of facilities; and 

♦ Acquisition or furnishing of services. 
SB 8-75-S1

2-2 

(3) MEDLOG within the AMEDD is a subset of Army logistics. Therefore, 

Army MEDLOG operates within HQDA DCSLOG policy and guidance. At the same 

time, MEDLOG is a discipline of a larger and fully integrated MHS that supports the 

healthcare delivery mission throughout the DOD during peacetime and wartime. 

c. MEDLOG, often referred to as Supply Class VIII (SC VIII), has the 

following attributes/characteristics: 

♦ Focus on the needs of the patient and provider; 

♦ Reliance on commercial sources and business practices; 

♦ Non-standard products (versus military-unique); 

♦ Potency dating and special handling requirements; 

♦ Differing expectations based on varying missions, clinician preference, 

and Service focus; 

♦ High-dollar value; and 

♦ Susceptibility to rapid changes in technology and practices. 

d. The organizations and functions of the Army MEDLOG integrate with Army 

and defense logistics and distribution practices from the factory to foxhole. Several 

MEDLOG domains exist and are described in the following paragraphs with examples 

of the types of organizations and primary functions. 

(1) In the Combat Health Logistics (Tactical) area, MEDLOG relates to 

field logistics as an integral part of the Army’s combat health support. MEDLOG 

functions at this level include: 

♦ SC VIII 

♦ Medical equipment maintenance 

♦ Blood storage and distribution, and 

♦ Optical fabrication. 

Examples of MEDLOG organizations are: 

♦ Medical logistics battalions, 

♦ Companies and detachments, 

♦ Combat support hospitals, and 

♦ The Medical Logistics Management Center. 

(2) MTF HEALTHCARE LOGISTICS (RETAIL). MEDLOG at the Regional Medical 

Commands focuses on management, readiness support, and economics. At the fixed 

treatment facilities retail MEDLOG functions include: 

♦ Inventory management ♦ Contracting 

♦ Biomedical maintenance ♦ Property management, and 

♦ Facilities management ♦ Other services 

(3) ARMY INSTITUTIONAL LOGISTICS (FORCE MANAGEMENT). The MEDLOG in this 

arena centers on the Army major processes of Force Management and Force 

Integration, including the Tri-Service arena as part of the MHS. Major functions 

include: 
SB 8-75-S1 

2-3 

♦ MEDLOG policy; planning, programming and budgeting; 

♦ Requirements determination; Acquisition logistics and lifecycle 

management of medical materiel and equipment, MEDLOG information systems, and 

healthcare facilities; 

♦ Field medical systems maintenance, sustainment, and 

recapitalization; and 

♦ Force projection and force sustainment programs support. 

Principal MEDLOG organizations at the Institutional Army are the: 

♦ Office of The Surgeon General, 

♦ U.S. Army Medical Command, 

♦ Regional Medical Commands 

♦ AMEDD Center and School, and 

♦ U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command. 

In addition, the USAMMA, USAMMDA, and USAMMCE also operate at this Force 

Management level. 

(4) DEFENSE LOGISTICS (WHOLESALE). Defense MEDLOG serves as a national 

provider and supports sister Services and Army missions and organizations. Primary 

functions at the wholesale level are: 

♦ Wholesale Supply Including Inventory Management Of Military 

Unique Items; 

♦ Development And Fostering Of A Variety Of Commercial Materiel 

Acquisition Strategies; Contract Services; 

♦ Transportation And Distribution; and 

♦ Force Sustainment Support To The Theater Of Operations 

MEDLOG organizations include the DSCP and DLA depots. 

2-3. THE U.S. ARMY MEDICAL MATERIEL AGENCY (USAMMA) 

a. To understand the USAMMA’s roles and organizational position in the 

military, it is important to understand our principal stakeholders and parent 

commands. At the highest level is Army Medicine; closer to home is our parent 

command. 

 b. The Army Medical Department (AMEDD) consists of Army-fixed hospitals 

and dental facilities; preventive health, medical research, development and training 

institutions; and a veterinary command that provides food inspection and animal care 

services for the entire Department of Defense (DOD). Directing the Army Medical 

Department is the Army’s Surgeon General who also serves as the Commanding 

General, United States Army Medical Command. In these capacities, The Surgeon 

General-Commanding General has the dual responsibility of advising the Army’s 

senior leaders on health matters and conducting Army staff actions, as well as 

managing one of the largest, most complex healthcare delivery systems in the world. 

 c. The USAMMA’s parent command, the U.S. Army Medical Research and 

Materiel Command (USAMRMC), is located at Fort Detrick, Maryland, approximately 
SB 8-75-S1

2-4 

60 miles northwest of Washington, DC. This multifaceted command serves as the 

Army’s medical materiel developer and logistics manager for the execution of crucial 

materiel support missions. USAMRMC performs its important medical research and 

materiel missions through its many organizations located in the United States and 

around the world.

3-2. INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SUPPORT 

 a. The USAMMA ensures Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) for medical 

equipment provided to Table of Organization and Equipment (TOE) medical units. Since 

Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) began, the USAMMA has concentrated on ensuring 

support for new equipment items to include: 

♦ packaging 

♦ system configuration 

♦ training analysis 

♦ supply and equipment support 

♦ technical data 

♦ test, measurement, and diagnostic equipment (TMDE) 

♦ maintenance planning 

b. The support plan provides details on the clinical applications of the item and 

on the strategy for acquisition. In most cases, equipment is tested for clinical and 

environmental capabilities in realistic operating scenarios. A detailed test plan is 

developed to evaluate transportability, environmental extremes, and operational 

characteristics, e.g., analyzing performance in high heat and humidity or ability to 

withstand rough travel on a military truck without ruining sensitive electronics. The 

most viable and cost-effective test organization, such as the U.S. Army Medical Materiel 

Developmental Activity, the Aberdeen Test Center, Aberdeen, Maryland, or the AMEDD 

Board is identified and a close relationship established to ensure the items are properly 

tested to meet Army requirements. 

 c. The USAMMA also evaluates medical equipment for obsolescence that is 

currently used by the U.S. Army. Equipment is periodically analyzed to determine if 

manufacturer support is still available or if the item falls into one of two categories: 

♦ Non-supportable, Non-sustainable, and Obsolete Items (NNI) 

♦ AMEDD Limited Support Items (ALSI) 

NNI designates an item that is no longer supported by any commercial or 

federal agency. ALSI designates an item that is no longer supported by the 

manufacturer but can still be supported by the U.S. Army through parts stocks or 

cannibalization of parts from similar items. Items designated NNI and ALSI are 

prioritized for replacement, and a market investigation is initiated to identify the 

appropriate replacement technology or device.

3-3. LOGISTICS ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (LAP) 

 a. The USAMMA is revamping its AMEDD Logistics Assistance Program (LAP) to 

focus on vital medical logistics issues affecting the readiness of the deployable medical 

force. The USAMMA LAP will assist Major Commands (MACOMs) and unit commanders 

in analyzing the true readiness posture of their units; and ensure the USAMMA has 

sufficient medical logistics information to accomplish its missions. 

b. The USAMMA’s LAP will be conducted in a two-phased operation: 

(1) Phase one will focus on identifying those issues that impact the medical 

logistics readiness of the deployable medical force, and conducting analysis on those 

issues to provide appropriate measures to alleviate the impact. 

(2) Phase two will focus on providing customer-oriented actions that increase 

medical logistics readiness. The direction and scope of the USAMMA LAP will be 

continually re-assessed to provide the MACOMs and unit commanders the most 

appropriate level of support. Characteristics of the LAP are: 

♦Provide a means to collect, correlate, assess, and disseminate 

information on those factors that have been found to result in decreased medical 

logistics readiness. 

♦Provide MACOMs and unit commanders with the technical guidance 

necessary to resolve medical logistics problems. 

♦Identify and provide reports through channels on all medical logistics 

functions that have been identified as having an adverse impact on medical logistics 

readiness including supply, maintenance, transportation, personnel, training, 

organization, systems, and doctrine. 

♦Provide improvements and sustain the readiness of medical materiel 

systems and medical logistics support of Active Army, National Guard, and Reserve 

Component Forces. 

c. The 2006 edition of SB 8-75-S4 (20 April 2006) will contain in-depth 

information about LAP and similar topics.

logistics officers, warrant officers, senior noncommissioned officers, and DOD civilians 

working in the medical logistics field. This program, offered biannually, provides an 

overview of the support health care environment focusing on medical logistics support, 
SB 8-75-S1 

3-4 

advanced technology, business practices and management techniques, DOD and civilian 

health care organizations, DOD and DA systems and processes, and materiel 

acquisition. 

b. The goals of the program are to: 

(1) Develop logisticians for strategic-level programs emphasizing Joint and 

Army readiness; 

(2) Provide experience and knowledge concerning leading-edge technology, 

organizational innovation, and defense acquisition; and 

(3) Combine the best of defense and commercial health care logistics 

business practices. 

c. The MLMIP provides the opportunity for individuals to meet both experience 

and training requirements set forth by the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement 

Act for Level 1 Certification in acquisition-related career fields. 

d. For additional information please access the USAMMA website 

http://www.usamma.army.mil (subheading Internship Program) or contact the 

USAMMA, ATTN: MCMR-MMO, Fort Detrick, MD 21702-5001; DSN 343-7477 or 

301-619-7477. 

3-5. MEDICAL LOGISTICS SUPPORT TEAM (MLST) 

a. The Army Materiel Command (AMC) created the Logistics Support Element 

(LSE) to address the requirement for a tailor-made unit to provide Reception, Staging, 

On-ward Movement, and Integration (RSO&I) support of Army War Reserve assets. 

Individuals from various Army materiel commodity commands staff the LSE. These 

individuals can be military, civilian or contractor personnel. Representing the AMEDD 

Class VIII commodity is the USAMMA’s MLST. 

b. The MLST is a 32 to 50-member team with a variety of skills necessary to 

facilitate the handoff of pre-positioned medical materiel and non-medical Associated 

Support Items of Equipment (ASIOE) at a port or land-based facility in any theater. 

This materiel includes Army Pre-position stocks and other materiel included in TSG 

contingency programs. Functions of the MLST include command and control, medical 

maintenance, general maintenance, fielding of materiel, automation support, and 

contracting support. The skills found within the MLST include medical supply, 

automation specialist, medical maintenance, and general maintenance technicians. 

This team is comprised of soldiers, DA Civilians, and fielding contractors. This team can 

deploy on short notice to any theater. 

c. The MLST will normally operate in direct support of the SMC LSE. Once the 

MST completes the transfer of APS assets, it will redeploy to CONUS or prepare for 

follow-on missions as directed by the Commander, USAMMA. 

d. FM 100-17-1 details the requirement and responsibilities of the LSE and 

MLST.

3-6. TAMMIS ENTERPRISE WIDE LOGISTICS SYSTEM (TEWLS) 

a. The TAMMIS Enterprise-Wide Logistics System (TEWLS) is a comprehensive 

business and information technology endeavor centered on the Army Medical 

Department’s (AMEDD) intermediate level logistics enterprise. The major thrust of this 

transformation is integrating several key elements into a single enterprise solution, or 

♦ Re-hosting of the legacy Theater Army Medical Management Information 

System Medical Supply (TAMMIS MEDSUP) capabilities, 

♦ Incorporating the U.S. Army Medical Materiel Agency’s (USAMMA) SAP 

implementation known as the USAMMA Revolution in Logistics (URL), 

♦ Developing requisite, new functionality, and 

♦ Positioning the AMEDD for migration into the Joint Enterprise-Wide 

Logistics: Medical (JEWL-M). 

b. The Commanding General’s decision to implement critical intermediate-level 

capabilities into the URL changes the command’s business model from autonomous 

business units to that of an integrated enterprise. This enterprise would include 

common business processes and data across the USAMMA, USAMMCE, 6th MLMC, 

USAMITC, and Active/Reserve Army deployable medical logistics organizations. It uses 

existing enterprise software from SAP resident at the USAMMA and expands it to meet 

the following overarching goals to: 

♦ Promote Class VIII data synchronization among TAMMIS databases at 

USAMMCE and within CENTCOM 

♦ Provide interfaces and functionality to enable fulfillment of funded 

customer supply requisitions 

♦ Provide capability to maintain and manage inventories and order 

fulfillment in multiple locations 

♦ Provide capability to use the URL to manage asset visibility of fielded unit 

sets and equipment 

c. The desired end-state for TEWLS is to re-host TAMMIS from GOTS to COTS as 

well as migrate it to the DMLSS program. Work completed as part of this effort may 

become the basis for further extension into the Military Health System allowing for triservice use (and replacement of significant government developed software at over 150 

fixed hospitals worldwide developed under the DMLSS Program Office). That could be 

limited to inventory, assembly, financial, and master data management or may expand 

to include property, maintenance, and facility management functionality.

3-7. TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT AND REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS (TARA) 

a. In an environment of constrained resources, it is imperative that sound 

commercial business practices be applied to our capital investment equipment 

programs. The decision makers at the U.S. Army Medical Command (USAMEDCOM) 

and the MTF level must have a means of acquiring the management information they 

need to effectively balance dwindling resources against clinical requirements. The 

ultimate goal for the TARA program is to establish a standardized methodology for 

assessing, planning, and pursuing the acquisition of equipment that is the appropriate 

technology for clinical practices within the AMEDD. 

b. As proponent of the TARA, the Materiel Acquisition Directorate (MMO-A), 

USAMMA, is responsible for coordinating the TARA process and site visits with the 

facility to be assessed and with the appropriate medical or equipment consultants. The 

on-site TARA visit consists of four major components: 

• Assessment of clinical operations 

• Assessment of non-clinical operations 

• Assessment of existing equipment for state of technology 

• Development of requirements for equipment replacement 

c. TARA specifics. 

(1) A TARA provides a snapshot of the facility's diagnostic imaging and 

clinical laboratory processes for the period during which the site survey is conducted. 

However, the TARA is not intended as a substitute for the facility's own routine 

evaluation of their operations. Because changes in a facility's strategic vision could 

alter equipment requirements that fall within the scope of the TARA, the TARA team 

recommends that the requirements for the MTF be periodically re-evaluated, especially 

in the event of a major change in mission. 

(2) The TARA process primarily assesses Medical Care Support Equipment 

(MEDCASE), which covers procurements of more than $250,000, and Super Capital 

Equipment Expense Program (SuperCEEP), which covers procurements between 

$100,000 and $250,000. 

(3) Using the data collected from site visits and from MEDCASE and 

SuperCEEP program requirements, the TARA team has constructed a database [the 

Web MEDCASE Requirements and Equipment (WebMRE)] to assist in providing guidance 

for approving future MEDCASE and SuperCEEP requests. The WebMRE database is 

used to front load MEDCASE and SuperCEEP requirements for routine replacement of 

diagnostic imaging systems. The USAMMA Materiel Acquisition Directorate generates 

MEDCASE and SuperCEEP requirements and assigns an Asset Control Number (ACN) 

that is sent to the MTF and Regional Medical Command (RMC) for approval. Once 

approved by the MTF and RMC, the requirement receives 1A approval when it is 

returned to the USAMMA. 

(4) After the system is funded, a Requisition Form (DD Form 1348-6, DOD 

Single Line Item Requisition System Document [Manual-long form]) is submitted. 

Quotes from the MTF for the system requested (may be the MTF’s vendor of choice) 

must be sent to the USAMMA for final approval. After the USAMMA concurs with the 

quoted system, the quote is forwarded to the Department of Veterans Affairs or the 

DSCP for purchase from their schedules. 
SB 8-75-S1 

3-7 

(5) MPRs submitted for changing mission requirements or expanded 

business opportunities still require that the facility submit a MEDCASE and SuperCEEP 

procurement requirement. The justification should be no more than one page and 

address, at a minimum, the following questions: 

♦ What is the intended use of the item? 

♦ Why is the item needed? 

♦ How will the item be used with other equipment? 

♦ What are the advantages of the item compared with equipment 

currently in use or available? 

♦ Why are these advantages needed? 

♦ Have specific details been presented regarding cost-benefits, 

personnel savings or productivity, the enhancement or curtailment of services, 

frequency or duration of breakdown, or other specific factors that may be relevant? 

♦ What will be the impact on mission accomplishment if the requested 

item is not acquired? 

♦ Is the anticipated workload provided? 

♦ Has consideration been given to the use of available excess assets 

to satisfy this requirement? 

d. The SB 8-75-S5 contains in-depth information about TARA, as well as more 

detailed projects and programs.

CHAPTER 4. GENERAL MEDICAL MATERIEL INFORMATION

4-1. ACQUISITION ADVICE CODE (AAC) ‘W’ AND ‘J’ RELATIONSHIPS 

a. National Stock Numbers (NSN) and AAC ‘W’ are assigned to generic end 

items of equipment that are initially identified for use. This process provides a 

method to develop authorization documents, e.g., MTOE and Unit Assemblage (UAs) 

reports, and for procurement planning (development of essential characteristics). 

Note: on-hand stocks should never be recorded against AAC ‘W’ NSNs. 

 b. As manufacturers are identified, contracts awarded, and items developed, 

each item is assigned a new NSN with AAC ‘J’. Data plates and container markings 

reflect the specific NSN for that manufacturer. 

 c. DOD Army Logistics Systems/Publications further identify AAC ‘W/J’ 

relationships through the use of Phrase Codes ‘3’ and ‘S’: 

The Phrase Code ‘3’ is assigned to the actual item manufactured (AAC ‘J’). 

The Phrase Code ‘S’ is assigned to the generic NSN (AAC ‘W’). 

 d. AR 40-61 (28 January 2005), Chapter 5, Section IV, paragraph 5-23, 

provides additional requisitioning instructions and information on provisioned medical 

equipment. Regular updates to SB 700-20 (Army Adopted/Other Items Selected for 

Authorization/List of Reportable Items) and the AMDF reflect specific and current items 

of production data (AAC ‘J’) as authorized substitutes for the generic end item 

(AAC ‘W’) reflected on the requisitioner’s authorization document. 

 e. ‘W’ & ’J’ listings are available via the USAMMA website in the Medical 

Services Information Logistics System (MEDSILS) database, located and accessible by 

using the address: www.usamma.army.mil.

Medical Systems (DEPMEDS), ISO Shelters, Non-Medical Associated Support Items of 

Equipment (ASIOE), Environmental Control Units (ECUs), and Heaters. 

 d. Duration of loan agreements. Loan agreements with USAMMA are typically 

one year in length; however, agreements for periods of less than one year, but 

greater than six months are also available. 

 e. Submitting requests for loan of equipment. Requests for loans of 

equipment will be approved or disapproved based on the purpose, duration of the 

loan, and consideration of the following factors that can take precedence over any 

loan or lease: 

(1) Military requirements and priorities. 

(2) Stocks and programmed Army requirements. 

(3) Type classification with pending changes. 

(4) Minimum diversion of Army stocks. 

(5) Adequacy of the borrower’s resources. 

(6) Availability of alternative sources such as commercial leases. 

(7) Eligibility of the recipient. 

Units must complete DA Form 4881-6-R, using DA Form 4881-2-R if more than one 

item is required and forward with a memorandum of justification, signed by a Colonel 

(O-6) or higher through command channels to Headquarters, U.S. Army Medical 

Command (USAMEDCOM) for approval. If a Materiel Fielding Team (MFT) is required 

to field the materiel, the requesting unit is responsible for travel and per diem 

expenses (military and civilian) for the initial set up and their return upon termination 

of the loan agreement. In addition, the requesting unit is responsible for packing, 

crating, handling, and shipping of materiel from supply source to destination and 
SB 8-75-S1 

4-6 

return. This includes port handling and off loading, if applicable. The requesting unit 

must pay for the refurbishment cost to bring the equipment back to condition code 

“B”.

4-7. REPORTS OF SUSPENDED OR DESTROYED ITEMS 

a. When the USAMMA requires reports of items suspended or destroyed, these 

reports will indicate specific quantities suspended for each applicable Lot Number(s) 

and Contract Number(s). When several Lot Numbers under a single Contract Number 

are involved, show quantity suspended for each Lot Number. 

b. Reports of suspended or destroyed items provide a basis for claims against 

contractors or assist in determining replacement purchase quantities. This detailed 

information is essential when warranty clauses are involved and also in those 

instances when it is necessary for the USAMMA to publish different disposition 

instructions for various Lots under a single contract number. It is imperative that all 
SB 8-75-S1 

4-7 

activities submit requested reports on or before the given suspense date. If the 

quantities are not reported by the suspense date, your activity may forego credit/ 

replacement for the suspended materiel. 

4-8. RESERVE COMPONENT MEDICAL MATERIEL MANAGEMENT 

INFORMATION 

a. The Reserve Component Liaison Officer serves as the AMEDD focal point 

for all aspects of medical materiel readiness that directly affect the United States 

Army Reserve (USAR). The Liaison Officer is responsible for the coordination of 

medical equipment fielding, sustainment, and modernization efforts on behalf of 

Reserve Component medical units. The Liaison Officer also provides input on USAR 

policy issues, advises the Commander on USAR policy decisions and performs 

operational and administrative duties in support of the USAR medical force. 

b. For additional information about the Reserve Component issues, contact 

USAMMA, ATTN: MCMR-MMO-SF, Fort Detrick, MD 21702-5001; telephone DSN 

343-4355 or 301-619-4355. 

4-9. SAMPLE DATA COLLECTION (SDC) PROGARM 

a. To enhance the strengths of Force Sustainment Directorate (MMO-S) and 

Materiel Acquisition Directorate (MMO-A), the USAMMA has implemented a sample 

data collection program for targeted medical devices. This program is a comprehendsive and cohesive data collection and analysis program. Both MMO-S and 

MMO-A groups are supplied with customized reports enabling them to respond to 

changes in medical technology in a timelier manner and help identify significant 

trends in the maintenance of medical equipment. This program supports the 

USAMMA in supplying medical field equipment and DEPMEDS facilities with current, 

sustainable, cost-effective medical technology. 

b. To obtain a cross-sectional data sample and take advantage of the 

expertise and functionality of existing staff, a number of sources of data are used to 

populate the sample data collection database (see Figure 4-1).

c. Relevant data gathered from the TOE, After Actions Reports (AARs), 

Strategic Capabilities and Materiel Directorate (SCMD) visits, Technology Assessment 

and Requirements Analysis (TARA), and Logistics Assistance Visits (LAV) are manually 

entered into the SDC database. Data can also be imported from the Army Medical 

Department Property Accounting System (AMEDDPAS) and Theatre Area Maintenance 

Management Information System (TAMMIS), and Army STAMIS when available. 

4-10. UNIT ASSEMBLAGE LISTINGS (UALS) - BILL OF MATERIEL

a. Unit Assemblages (UAs) [known as medical sets, kits, and outfits], are 

clinically reviewed and revised by the Army Medical Department (AMEDD) Combat 

Developer, AMEDD Center and School, Fort Sam Houston, TX, in coordination with the 

USAMMA’s Materiel Acquisition Directorate. The UAs contain multiple components 

that make up the set. These lists of components are also known as Bills of Material 

(BOMs). These revised updated lists are published after the new components are 

approved and are identified as new versions with a new NSN assigned to the set for 

procurement and fielding purposes. 

b. Once the new versions for the non-hospital sets are approved, they are 

published on the USAMMA website, www.usamma.army.mil. UA information can 

be obtained from the website under the option of DOD Unit Assemblages. The set 

component data contains the most current catalog data for each materiel component 

of the sets as well as any maintenance changes to the set, such as deleted or 

replacement NSNs. 
SB 8-75-S1 

4-9 (4-10 blank) 

c. Activities will note the new versions are unique to the year they are 

approved and the year is identified in the set nomenclature. While the LIN for a 

particular set may remain the same from year to year, the NSN of the set will change 

each time the UA is updated. For the most accurate UA results, search for the UA 

listing using the LIN listed on the unit’s property book listing. This will provide a list 

of all UAs under that LIN and you will be able to see if your listing is the most recent 

one or if there is another, more recent update. Note the DA Army Regulation (AR) 

40-61, Chapter 10, Section II, identifies that Medical Equipment Sets (MES), also 

known as Level 1 and 2 non-hospital sets, are identified with an all numeric UAC (UA 

Code). Due to the UAC changing annually, as well as the NSN of the new version of 

the set, units need to identify the sets they are authorized by the LIN, the NSN, and 

the UAC that are both unique to the set. The set nomenclature will also display the 

year of the update. 

d. The hospital sets, known as the Deployable Medical System (DEPMEDS) 

sets, are not published on the USAMMA website. The units are to maintain these sets 

based on the documentation they are provided when the USAMMA Fielding Office 

delivers the hospital sets (reference AR 40-61, Chapter 10, Section III). These 

hospital sets (known as Level 3 sets) are identified with a four-character UA number, 

with the first character of the UA code being an alpha character. They are referred to 

as Medical Materiel Sets (MMS). The units are not required to update their hospital 

sets until the USAMMA upgrades a unit with a new version, identified with a new NSN 

and UAC, based on a USAMMA-established fielding schedule. 

e. For UA listings not available on the web or for those activities without web 

access, electronic copies of their listings for the approved versions of their sets can be 

requested. A request should be submitted in writing identifying the set NSN and the 

LIN to the address shown below. Telephone requests may also be made to the 

USAMMA Materiel Acquisition Directorate at DSN 343-4312/4315 or commercial 

301-619-4312/4315.
