1-3. MEDICAL SUPPLY SUPPORT OF THE ARMY NATIONAL GUARD BY USA 

MEDCOM ACTIVITIES (AR 40-61) 

 a. Army National Guard medical units, organizations and installations are 

authorized and encouraged to receive medical supply support to include medical repair 

parts from the MEDCOM element with area support responsibility for the geographic 

area in which the unit/organization/installation to be supported is located. A delineation 

of Regional Medical Commands (RMCs) and the Medical Activity (MEDDAC) or Medical 

Center (MEDCEN) responsible for each is found in AR 5-9 (dated 16 October 1998), Area 

Support Responsibilities, and appropriate MEDCOM Regulation. 

b. Such support is contingent upon establishment of a support agreement with 

the supporting MEDDAC or MEDCEN including a possible funding procedure. When 

supply support is to be provided to a unit or installation, the unit or installation will 

submit the required DA Form 1687 (Notice of Delegation of Authority - Receipt for 

Supplies) through the United States Property and Fiscal Officer (USPFO) to the 

supporting MEDDAC or MEDCEN. The USPFO will validate the form, ensuring that 

limitations concerning the materiel authorized for request are stated on the form. A 

Medical Corps Officer should sign DA Form 1687 for controlled drug supply support. The 

State Surgeon may be requested to perform this function and monitor the requesting of 

controlled substances by installations without an assigned physician. 

c. When controlled substances are requested, they may be transmitted directly 

from the Installation Medical Supply Activity (IMSA) at the MEDDAC or MEDCEN to the 

requesting unit/installation to facilitate security and accountability. In this case, 

bypassing the USPFO is authorized; however, receiving documentation must be provided 

to the USPFO in accordance with (IAW) each state/territory’s SOP. Units/installations in 

close proximity to the supporting IMSA will be required to have an authorized individual 

personally receipt for the controlled substances. Issues to remote units will be shipped 

by registered mail, return receipt required. When a support agreement is negotiated, 

the USPFO must ensure an audit trail is established. 

 d. MEDDAC or MEDCEN should be viewed as the primary source of: 

 (1) X-ray film and x-ray chemicals. (Rationale: USPFO will generally find 

the MEDDAC or MEDCEN more cost effective than local purchase or requisition through 

S9M.) 

 (2) Controlled substance(s). (Rationale: The Defense Supply Center 

Philadelphia (DSCP) will not honor ARNG requisitions for Code “R” or “Q” controlled 

substances. They must be obtained through the supporting MEDDAC or MEDCEN; the 

MEDDAC or MEDCEN procures through Prime Vendor (PV) contracts.) 
SB 8-75-S10 

1-3 

1-4. SPECIFIC GUIDANCE PERTAINING TO VARIOUS TYPES OF MATERIEL 

a. Medical repair parts supply support should normally be requested for a unit 

only if a qualified biomedical equipment repairman supports the unit. Medical repair 

parts are normally stocked for active component equipment actually supported by the 

MEDDAC or MEDCEN. Alternative sources of supply are requisitioned through S9M for 

those repair parts listed in TM-DSCP-6500-RPL that are not local purchase. Medical 

repair parts are considered Class VIII or Class IX. Class VIII is processed through the 

USPFO rather than the State Maintenance System. 

b. Routine requests for Non-expendable equipment will not be requested 

through a supporting MEDDAC or MEDCEN unless during mobilization the IMSA can be 

utilized. 

c. Aviation units and flight facilities authorized aviation survival kits may 

request those kits from the IMSA at the supporting MEDDAC or MEDCEN. Loperamide 

Hydrochloride Tablets, NF (NSN 6505-01-238-5632), is no longer a NOTE “Q” item. 

Doxycycline Hyclate (NSN 6505-00-009-5060) is authorized at 28 tablets per kit. 

Doxycycline is to be taken 1 tablet a day for 28 days. 

d. The U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine 

(USACHPPM) provides instructions for destruction of military items, Military Item 

Disposal Instructions (MIDI), through a web site on the Internet. The site can be 

accessed at: http://chppm-www.apgea.army.mil/hmwp/. The MIDI team can be 

reached at DSN 584-3651 or 1-800-276-MIDI (6434)-5237. 

e. When negotiating supply support, initial contact should be made with the 

Chief, Logistics Division, of the MEDDAC or MEDCEN. Funding arrangements will require 

further coordination with the MEDDAC or MEDCEN Comptroller. 

f. It is the policy of the MEDCOM to provide responsive support, within the 

limits of their capabilities, to the ARNG. 

1-5. MEDICAL CARE SUPPORT EQUIPMENT (MEDCASE) PROCEDURES 

(AR 40-61) 

a. Capital investment medical equipment is defined as equipment with a unit 

price of $100,000.00 or more “each” (sets are not considered capital investment medical 

equipment). If capital investment equipment is authorized to an ARNG element by 

other than Modified Table of Organization and Equipment (MTOE), it must be acquired 

using MEDCASE procedures. 

 b. Preparation of MEDCASE requests shall be in accordance with DA 

SB 8-75-MEDCASE. 

c. The Chief Surgeon, Army National Guard (NGB-ARS), will perform the review 

and approval, and overall program management functions designated for major medical 

commands by DA SB 8-75-MEDCASE. 

 d. States are reminded that the Table of Distribution Allowances (TDA) must 

authorize any capital expense medical equipment prior to the initiation of MEDCASE 

action. Procurement requires submission of DA Form 5027-R (MEDCASE Program 
SB 8-75-S10 

1-4 

Requirement) and 5028-R (MEDCASE Support and Transmittal Form) IAW 

SB 8-75-MEDCASE. 

1-6. COMMANDERS REVIEW PROGRAM FOR DURABLE MEDICAL MATERIEL 

(AR 40-61) 

a. Each commander of a medical element, which operates a physical 

examination station will establish a formal program for reviewing the consumption of 

durable medical items. The program should be designed to improve supply discipline, 

emphasize economy, and focus attention on the prudent use of resources. 

b. Commanders will conduct annual consumption reviews of the 20 durable 

items the activity has spent the most money on during the last year. The items will be 

reviewed for potential savings and for increases in usage from year to year. Reviews 

may also be conducted on other durable items for which the activity desires control 

visibility, such as items experiencing a high-loss rate. From this review, items will be 

selected for intensive management. 

c. At the conclusion of the period, actual usage should be reviewed against 

established usage levels. Activities will document the review, to include corrective 

action taken, or the cause(s) for usage in excess of the established rate. 

d. These reviews will be retained for two years, used for internal audit, and 

presented to inspectors, i.e., Command Logistics Review Team (CLRT). 

1-7. ARNG CLASS VIII MATERIEL MANAGEMENT COURSE 

 a. The ARNG Class VIII materiel management course will be conducted annually. 

A memorandum with course date dates and location will be published and distributed to 

USPFO Class VIII Managers. 

b. The course is intended to provide Class VIII Commodity Managers, Deputy 

State Surgeons and medical supply personnel with the tools and current policies 

required to properly manage Class VIII (medical and dental) materiel. 

1-8. HOW TO REQUEST SB 8-75 SERIES AND SB 8-75-S10 

a. Personnel working in the medical supply arena must have the SB 8-75 series 

and SB 8-75-S10 in their logistics library. The SB 8-75 series pertains to Army Medical 

Department supply information and the S10 provides specific guidance concerning 

medical materiel for the ARNG. 

b. Distribution. The DA SB 8-75 Series may be downloaded from the USAMMA 

website. The USAMMA website is http://www.usamma.army.mil/. 

1-9. PRIME VENDOR (PV) SYSTEM 

a. The Department of Defense (DoD) system for providing Class VIII to users has 

adopted “best commercial practices” from the private sector. In January 1993, the Office 

of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) issued a policy stating that all DoD components are to 
SB 8-75-S10 

1-5 

employ direct delivery from vendors to end-users whenever it is cost effective and 

responsive to end users’ requirements. The medical PV initiatives fulfill that mandate, but 

at a cost in terms of service to small, off-post customers such as ARNG units and 

activities. 

b. The intent of the DoD medical PV is to: 

♦ Reduce inventory-carrying costs. 

♦ Reduce product costs by using the consolidated buying power of DoD. 

♦ Provide customers’ responsiveness equal to the existing commercial 

standard (in most cases, product delivered within 24 hours of ordering). 

♦ Provide military users with an enhanced product selection, comparable to 

that available to civilian institutions. 

c. As the medical PV program is structured, benefits are directed to the DoD 

fixed Medical Treatment Facilities (MTF). Impacts on the ARNG include: 

♦ A reduction of the price and an increase in choices of FSC 6505 materiel; 

♦ A decrease, in most states, of the labor component involved in ARNG 

acquisition of FSC 6505, if sourced directly or indirectly from a PV; and 

♦ A decrease in Order-Ship Time (OST) for materiel sourced from a PV, as 

compared with OST for materiel sourced via MILSTRIP from the National Inventory 

Control Point (NICP). 

d. The two main challenges the ARNG faces because of the pharmaceutical and 

medical/surgical PV initiatives are: 

♦ How to obtain responsive support from the designated PVs or alternative 

sources of supply. 

♦ How to provide USPFOs with the ability to perform the expanded roles of 

Class VIII Supply Support Activities (SSAs). 

e. The following service standards have been identified for pharmaceutical PV 

support to the ARNG: 

♦ How to obtain responsive support from the designated PVs or alternative 

sources of supply. 

♦ Orders originate in ULLS-S4 (where available) and flow through SARSS-1, 

SARSS-2AC, and the Defense Automated Addressing System (DAAS) to the source of 

supply. Within the State, the transaction is an automated MILSTRIP/Military Standard 

Billing System (MILSBILLS) transaction. 

♦ NSN to PV stock number conversion takes place above the state level. 

♦ The delivery standard is 7 days after receipt of the order by the PV, with 

48-hour premium service available. 

♦ Eligible delivery locations include all ARNG Department of Defense 

Automated Address Codes (DODAACs). Deliveries will be required only to USPFOs, 

TMCs, Army Aviation Support Facilities (AASFs), State Area Command (STARC) medical 

detachments, and Modified Tables of Organization and Equipment (MTOE) medical 

companies. 

♦ Aggregate costs, including delivery, are equal to or less than the current 

cost for the same materiel requisitioned MILSTRIP with an acquisition advice code (AAC) 

of “2A.” 

♦ There are potentially four ARNG FSC 6505 service alternatives. 
SB 8-75-S10 

1-6 

♦ USPFOs routing requisitions to their supporting IMSAs, for fill by the 

supporting PV. 

♦ USPFOs acquiring PV terminals and submitting their requirements directly 

to the PV. 

♦ Establishing a pharmaceutical PV contract specifically for support of the 

ARNG. 

♦ USPFOs submitting MILSTRIP requisitions through the NICP, using AAC 

2A. The NICP would refer to a vendor for Direct Vendor Delivery (DVD). 

♦ The Logistics Intelligence File (LIF) determines the TRM (Training 

Resource Model) dollars and it is imperative that demand history is captured so that 

Class VIII OPTEMPO dollars can be validated in the Program Objective Management 

(POM). 
SB 8-75-S10

CHAPTER 2. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION STATIONS 

2-1. PROCEDURES FOR AUTHORIZING AND EQUIPPING OF ARNG PHYSICAL 

EXAMINATION STATIONS (AR 40-61) 

 a. Physical Examination Stations (PES) may be located at ARNG training sites, 

armories or may be mobile. Physical examinations should be conducted IAW 

AR 40-501, Standards of Medical Fitness; use current issue. 

 b. Establishment and operation of an ARNG PES requires approval of the Chief 

Surgeon, Army National Guard. Send requests for approval to: 

Chief, National Guard Bureau 

ATTN: NGB-ARS 

111 South George Mason Drive 

Arlington VA 22204-1382 

 c. The following statement must be in the request for approval: 

 

“I certify that the State of____________________ has complied with 

OSHA requirements for this Physical Examination Station. The State 

Quality Improvement Plan addresses all aspects of the professional 

operation.” 

___________________________________________

2-2. MEDICAL EQUIPMENT RECOMMENDED FOR CONDUCT OF ARNG 

PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS (AR 40-61) 

 a. MTOE Medical equipment may be used to support the medical and dental 

soldier readiness requirements of the ARNG. 

 (1) The items listed in Table 2-1 are approved for use in State Medical 

Detachments. Substitutions are authorized and do not require change to the TDA. 

Installation property is not placed on the TDA. To make changes to the State 

Medical Detachment TDA, submit a DA form 4610-R to: 

Chief, National Guard Bureau 

ATTN: NGB-ARS 

111 South George Mason Drive

2-3. POLICY RELATIVE TO LABORATORY EQUIPMENT 

Laboratory services in ARNG PESs and TMCs will not be authorized. Operation of these 

services subjects the facility to Clinical Laboratories Improvement Amendment (CLIA) 

certification every 2 years. Supervisors of laboratory services are required to possess 

a baccalaureate degree in the laboratory sciences in order to meet CLIA requirements. 

The costs of purchasing and maintaining laboratory equipment and the requirement to 

purchase and store large quantities of reagents make contracts extremely attractive. 

2-4. POLICY RELATIVE TO RADIOLOGY EQUIPMENT 

 a. Establishment of x-ray capabilities, except Panograph in PESs and digital 

dental bite wings machines, will not be authorized. States wishing to establish x-ray 

capabilities other than panographic or digital dental x-rays in authorized Troop Medical 

Clinics (TMCs) must request authority from NGB-ARS. Complete justification must be 

provided, to include, the reason(s) existing local federal facilities can not be utilized, 

cost comparisons of operating and maintaining ARNG x-ray equipment versus local 

contracts, and projected volume. 

 b. Upon authorization of the facility, equipment authorization may be requested 

from NGB-ARS. Questions relative to recommended equipment should be directed to 

NGB-ARS. The SB 8-75-MEDCASE procedures will apply. 
SB 8-75-S10

CHAPTER 3. MAINTENANCE 

3-1. ARNG MEDICAL EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE POLICY AND 

PROCEDURES (AR 40-61) 

 a. Policy 

 (1) State Surface Maintenance Managers are responsible for the 

coordination of Medical Maintenance support. 

 (2) Medical equipment maintenance is a command responsibility. 

Commanders will provide the necessary resources (personnel, facilities and time) to 

provide for maintenance of medical equipment. 

 (3) Scheduled periodic maintenance services take precedence over all but 

emergency repair requirements. 

 (4) The lowest level of maintenance performs medical maintenance 

services with the capability, capacity, and authority to perform service. Reference 

will be made to the Maintenance Allocation Chart (MAC) in the appropriate Technical 

Manual (TM) or manufacturer’s literature. 

 (5) Medical maintenance requirements beyond unit capabilities may be 

supported from the following resources, listed in priority sequence: 

 (a) Other ARNG medical maintenance resources in the State. 

 (b) USAMEDCOM organizations with area support responsibility 

(reimbursable basis) (see AR 5-9). 

 (c) The U. S. Army Medical Materiel Agency (USAMMA) Maintenance 

Divisions (reimbursable basis). 

 (6) Maintenance engineering will be employed throughout the life cycle of 

medical materiel, to ensure adequate logistics support. 

 (7) All items of medical equipment shall be tested and documented prior 

to initial use and at least annually thereafter. 

b. Considerations 

 (1) In the implementation of an effective ARNG Medical Equipment 

Maintenance program, several problems must be overcome: 

(a) The separate medical equipment maintenance system existent in 

the active component does not exist in the ARNG. 

(b) Units are handicapped by a lack of maintenance literature on 

medical equipment. 

(c) Both State Surface Maintenance Managers and Units lack the 

staffing necessary to accomplish required medical equipment maintenance; this will 

become a larger problem due to the restructure process. 
SB 8-75-S10 

3-2 

 c. Establishment of a functional medical equipment maintenance program 

will require the following steps: 

 1. Provide adequate space and time to conduct medical maintenance functions. 

 2. Identify the medical equipment that requires periodic maintenance. 

 3. Provide users with the technical manuals or manufacturer literature necessary 

to define maintenance intervals and procedures. 

 4. Identify medical equipment maintenance resources. 

 5. Establish required medical equipment maintenance records. 

 6. Schedule periodic medical equipment maintenance. 

 7. Specify procedures for obtaining support for medical maintenance 

requirements beyond the capability of the using unit. 

 8. Monitor the effectiveness of the system. 

 9. Ensure trained, qualified personnel are available for medical maintenance. 

 10. Identify special considerations. 

 11. Provide procedures for USR feeder information. 

 12. Establish repair parts procedures. 

 13. Modify and alter medical equipment. 

3-2. PROVIDING ADEQUATE TIME AND FACILITIES SPACE FOR 

ADMINISTRATIVE AND MEDICAL MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS 

Consideration should be given to: 

 a. Adequate lighting. 

 b. Administrative space. 

 c. Maintenance/work area and storage space. 

 d. A secure area for Test, Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE), 

i.e., a separate secure room or lockable cabinet(s). 

 e. Training schedule adjustments to allow for maintenance functions. 

3-3. IDENTIFICATION OF MEDICAL EQUIPMENT REQUIRING PERIODIC 

MAINTENANCE AND AN EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE LOG 

 a. Table 3-1 is the current list of ARNG medical equipment requiring periodic 

maintenance. An additional source that should be consulted to identify 

maintenance-significant items in medical equipment sets is the materiel-fielding plan 

(MFP) for the set. 

 b. The list should not be considered inclusive due to current unit assemblage 

(UA) listings and mission requirements. Medical equipment items on hand not listed 

but are generally the same as a listed item, will also require a maintenance log. 

 c. Maintenance records specified in TB 38-750-2 (Maintenance Management 

Procedures for Medical Equipment, with Changes 1-3) must be maintained. 

 d. The codes used are defined below for the scheduling of periodic services. 

Q = Quarterly S = Semi-annual A = Annual 
SB 8-75-S10 

3-3

 e. The requirement for a maintenance function at a specific periodic interval 

does not preclude the function from being performed at a shorter interval. During 

prolonged exercises or missions involving patient treatment, scheduled testing of 

electrically operated medical equipment designated for use in critical care areas will 

be performed semi-annually. A variance of plus or minus 10% is authorized in the 

performance of a scheduled service, i.e., 9 days before/after the due date for a 

quarterly service. Although all equipment items listed require preventive 

maintenance checks and services (PMCS), calibration, verification and certification 

(CVC), or electrical safety (ES), testing is required only as identified on the listing. 

 f. The first alphabetical code designates the frequency at which the service 

is required. Lack of qualified personnel and or TMDE in reserve component units 

may require performance of CVC services by higher-level maintenance activities. 

Q = Quarterly S = Semi-annual A = Annual 

 g. The second alphabetical code used, when applicable, in the CVC column 

designates the lowest applicable maintenance level: 

 O - Organizational F or H Intermediate D - Depot

obtaining USAMEDCOM support. 

(1) Evacuate equipment requiring medical equipment maintenance to the 

MEDDAC/MEDCEN where feasible, thus avoiding TDY costs. 

(2) Coordinate with MEDDAC/MEDCEN Medical Maintenance to schedule 

preventive maintenance support visits to ARNG activities. Attempts should be made 

to schedule the support in conjunction with other AMEDD preventive maintenance 

visits in order to reduce or eliminate TDY costs. 

 g. Use local installations of other military services that may provide 

gratuitous medical equipment maintenance support. Air Force and Navy installations 

are not obligated to provide support to the ARNG.

A cross-index of part numbers to NSN may be found in TM-DSPC-6500-RPL. 

3-6. ESTABLISHMENT OF REQUIRED MEDICAL EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE 

RECORDS 

 a. Commanders of medical units/activities should provide the resources and 

command emphasis necessary to ensure that unit personnel are properly trained and 

are performing the maintenance management procedures as outlined in 

TB 38-750-2. These forms and records, when properly maintained give the 

commander a picture of the condition, use, and operational needs of the medical 

equipment within the command. They also provide an audit trail for parts and labor 

costs and feeder information for USR Reporting as per AR 220-1 (Unit Status 

Reporting) and AR 700-138, Army Logistics Readiness and Sustainability. 

 b. Records will be established as provided in TB 38-750-2, Chapter 2. 

Records will be established and maintained for all equipment identified as requiring 

periodic maintenance. 

 c. Calibration records for audiometers generated by the microprocessorcontrolled calibration equipment must be maintained as permanent records in 

accordance with TB MED 501. 

3-7. SCHEDULE PERIODIC MEDICAL EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE 

 a. All medical maintenance significant items will be listed on the maintenance 

schedule. (DD Form 314; TB 38-750-2, para 2-2) 

 b. Scheduling considerations: 

 (1) If maintenance is to be performed by a visit of supporting BMET 

personnel, schedule preventive maintenance for all or most equipment on the same 

date. 

 (2) Recommend synchronization with MEPS support plans. 

 (3) Maintenance schedules as established in Table 3-1, this chapter, are 

considered a minimum and must be adhered to. 

 (4) In units that have a medical maintenance capability it is recommended 

that equipment be scheduled by section and spread out over a 12-month period, 

taking into account the individual section's mission requirements and conflicts with 

the unit training schedule. It is further recommended that maintenance scheduling 

coordination take place during the unit’s annual training planning workshop. 

 (5) During prolonged exercises or missions involving patient treatment, 

scheduled testing of electrically operated medical equipment designated for use in 

critical-care areas will be performed semi-annually. 
SB 8-75-S10 

3-10 

3-8. SPECIFIC PROCEDURES FOR OBTAINING SUPPORT 

 a. State Surface Maintenance Managers (SMMs) must provide ARNG units 

with workable procedures to secure medical equipment maintenance support beyond 

their organic capabilities. 

 b. It is recommended that State SMMs establish a POC for the AMEDD to 

provide the necessary help and resources for medical maintenance. 

 c. Units without medical maintenance capabilities will evacuate the 

equipment to their supporting OMS (Organizational Maintenance Shop) along with 

the necessary supporting documentation. If medical maintenance service is not 

available at the OMS level, the equipment needing service or repair will then be 

evacuated to the State CSMS. A determination can then be made as to the best 

method to achieve maintenance support. 

 d. Factors affecting the achievement of desired medical maintenance 

support: 

 (1) Readiness 

 (2) Unit’s need for the equipment due to mission requirements 

 (3) Cost factors---Desired rapid response from Contract Maintenance support is 

most often cost prohibitive 

3-9. MONITOR THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE SYSTEM 

 a. Once established, the effectiveness of the medical equipment maintenance 

system should be monitored during formal and informal maintenance inspections and 

visits. Inspectors without a medical equipment repair background should be capable 

of the following procedures. 

1. Inspect maintenance records for completeness and notation of 

completion of required periodic maintenance. 

2. Check the availability of technical manuals or manufacturer’s literature 

on medical equipment requiring periodic maintenance. 

3. Evaluate the serviceability of a small quantity of equipment using 

technical manuals and manufacturer’s literature. 

4. Inform unit personnel without organic medical equipment repairers 

(MOS 91A) where and how to evacuate medical equipment for maintenance. 

3-10. PROVIDE FOR QUALIFIED, TRAINED MEDICAL MAINTENANCE 

PERSONNEL 

 a. The electronics employed in the use and function of medical equipment is 

essentially the same as that used with any electronic equipment. However, based on 

the fact that medical equipment has a direct relationship to the patient (poses a 

potential risk to the equipment operator or patient), special instruction is given to 

BMETs that prepare them for their technical mission. 
SB 8-75-S10 

3-11

 b. Areas of training and instruction are listed below. 

 (1) DOD BMET Training Course, Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas. 

 (2) Equipment updates sustainment training. 

(a) Military provided; conducted at DOD BMET. 

(b) Civilian manufacturer provided; conducted nation wide. 

3-11. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS 

 a. X-ray system calibration. Particular emphasis should be given to 

maintenance of x-ray systems. Potential for incorrect or excessive radiation dose 

from non-maintained or infrequently calibrated x-ray apparatus is great. 

Maintenance services and radiation protection surveys will be performed as 

prescribed by manufacturers’ manuals and in accordance with TB MED 521. Only 

qualified medical equipment repairers (MOS 670A or MOS 91A/68A) or the civilian 

equivalent will perform maintenance and calibration on ionizing radiation medical 

equipment. Performance requirements are outlined in 21 CFR, and manufacturer’s 

written specifications. Calibration of diagnostic X-ray equipment shall be on an 

annual basis or in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, whichever is the 

most stringent. X-ray equipment that receives repair service and requires an 

exchange of parts or certified components that could affect the radiation output or 

overall calibration will be recalibrated prior to further use (see AR 40-61). 

 b. Safety. Many items of medical equipment present a potential safety 

hazard to both the operator and the patient. Most often, problems arise when 

operators have insufficient training and/or experience in the proper use and safe 

operation of equipment. Even experienced and skilled operators may endanger their 

own life and that of the patient when they become careless and fail to adhere to safe 

operating procedures and practices. Particular emphasis should be placed on the 

safe handling, storage and shipment of compressed gas cylinders. Additional 

guidance can be found in AR 700-68. 

 c. The DA SB 8-75 series. This is a frequent source of biomedical equipment 

serviceability and maintenance information. All ARNG organizations with medical 

elements should receive and read these publications. Use IDN (Block No.) 340016. 

 d. Remedial maintenance (repair). Medical equipment repair is authorized at 

all levels of maintenance. Repair will be performed only by or under the supervision 

of a health services maintenance technician, military occupational specialty (MOS) 

(670A), a medical equipment repairer (MOS 91A/68A), or the civilian equivalent. 

The repair function consists of a technical inspection (TI), verification inspection (VI), 

classification, testing, servicing, and all actions necessary to return an item to a fully 

mission-capable status (AR 40-61). In the event that there are no medical 

maintenance qualified personnel within a unit or activity, it is recommended that the 

unit’s calibration monitor, preferably a Medical Supply Specialist MOS 91J, be given 

the responsibility to oversee maintenance scheduling, record keeping and obtaining 

the necessary maintenance functions. 
SB 8-75-S10 

3-12 

3-12. UNIT STATUS REPORTABLE (USR) MEDICAL EQUIPMENT 

 a. All National Guard (ARNG) units operating equipment listed in 

AR 700-138, Appendix B, will submit their Materiel Condition Status Reports (MCSR) 

IAW the reporting instructions of AR 700-138. 

 b. Effective 1 October 1990, medical equipment deemed critical to the unit's 

medical mission is listed in AR 700-138 and requires materiel condition status 

reporting. The equipment readiness goal for these reportable items is 90 per cent 

fully mission capable (FMC). The ultimate goal is to reach and sustain a FMC status 

of 90 per cent for all equipment. 

 c. Medical equipment maintenance personnel will provide feeder information 

to the unit commander or his/her authorized representative for preparation of the 

USR. The backside of DD Form 314 will be used for these computations (See 

TB 38-750-2, para 2-2). Maintenance records and forms for this equipment will be 

prepared and maintained IAW AR 700-138 and TB 38-750-2. 

 d. ARNG [including Mobilization And Training Equipment Sites (MATES)] units 

will make a quarterly report on a DA Form 2406 covering a 3-month period ending 

15 January, 15 April, 15 July, and 15 October. Assets at MATES, Unit Training 

Equipment Sites (UTES), or Equipment Concentration Sites (ECS) are not loaned 

equipment. The MATES keep the DD Form 314 for ARNG units, however only the 

owning ARNG unit will report this equipment. 

3-13. REPAIR PARTS PROCEDURES 

The AMEDD is currently rewriting AR 40-61 and the procedures for medical repair 

parts will require change. The Department of the Army Deputy Chief of Staff for 

Logistics (DA DCSLOG) has changed the repair parts stockage criteria which the 

AMEDD has an exception. Advise all ARNG units to continue per the current 

AR 40-61, but expect new information within the next fiscal year. 

 a. Classification of repair parts. (AR 40-61)

 (1) Prescribed Load List (PLL): 

 (a) Medical repair parts will be excluded from unit computations for 

the total PLL 300-line limit. 

 (b) Medical equipment PLL stocks and records will be located with the 

medical equipment repair section. 

 (c) ARNG units with qualified medical maintenance personnel may be 

issued repair parts on a reimbursable basis. Such issues are normally made by the 

supporting IMSA. 

 (2) Mandatory Parts List (MPL) 

 (a) ARNG Medical units authorized a medical equipment maintenance 

capability (MOS 91A/68A authorized in MTOE) are also authorized to stock MPL for 

selected items of medical equipment. Designated quantities of applicable MPL must 
SB 8-75-S10 

3-13

be on hand or on order at all ARNG D to D+60 medical units with MTOE 91A 

positions. Medical companies in divisions and separate brigades should carry MPL 

that will also support the medical platoons and sections in the combat-support 

battalions to which they provide Class VIII support. 

 (b) Documentation procedures are contained in DA Pam 710-2-1 and 

TB 8-6500-MPL for units operating under a manual supply system. 

 b. NGB recommends: 

 Unit establishment of MPL is monitored by SMM. 

 c. Management procedures for medical materiel repair parts are contained in 

AR 40-61, AR 710-2, TB 750-2, and DA Pam 710-2-1. 

3-14. MODIFICATION AND ALTERATION OF MEDICAL EQUIPMENT 

 a. Modification classifications. 

(1) Mandatory---Includes all changes to standard equipment. These 

modifications will be made in accordance with AR 70-1 (Army Acquisition Policy) and 

AR 750-10,(Modification of Material and Issuing Safety-of-Use Messages). A DA 

modification work order is the authority for the application of a mandatory 

modification. 

(2) Quality assurance alteration---A change required to correct hazards 

or faults in standard and nonstandard medical equipment. Changes will be 

announced by the USAMMA, Medical Materiel Quality Control messages (DOD-MMQCxxxx). 

(3) Minor alterations---Necessary changes to medical equipment that will 

enhance or improve its safe operation without altering its basic characteristics. 

These alterations may be performed only when the medical maintenance element 

has the capability to do so and the commander approves them. (AR 40-61) 

(4) “Other” alterations---Changes made to equipment by a using 

organization. The commander may authorize these alterations for a special purpose 

or for component modernization as described below. 

(a) Special purpose. A temporary alteration that is required for 

medical purposes, and does not permanently affect the internal configuration of the 

equipment. The item will be restored to its original condition after the requirement is 

over. 

(b) Component modernization. The upgrade of equipment by 

manufacturer authorized changes. Only qualified medical maintenance personnel 

according to manufacturer specifications accomplish it. 

 b. Modification and alterations will be recorded in maintenance records in 

accordance with TB 38-750-2. It should be recognized that minor alteration or 

special purpose alterations, without manufacturer consent, may negate any further 

manufacturer product liability. 
SB 8-75-S10 

3-14 

 c. Standardization. Although individual medical items are standardized by 

ARNG units and activities, personnel may submit to the Joint Readiness Clinical 

Advisory Board (JRCAB) – formerly known as the Defense Medical Standardization 

Board (DMSB) - recommendations for new or improved medical equipment. 

Recommendations with justifications for MTOE materiel should be submitted by letter 

to the

3-15. TEST, MEASUREMENT, AND DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT (TMDE) 

a. Test, measurement, and diagnostic equipment (TMDE) are those devices 

used to evaluate the operational condition of an end item or system, or 

identify/isolate equipment malfunctions. TMDE-Special Purpose (TMDE-SP) is any of 

these devices, which is exclusive or unique for support of and functionally restricted 

to a specific type or class of equipment (i.e., defibrillator analyzer or infusion pump 

tester). TMDE-General Purpose (TMDE-GP) is any device that may be used to 

service many end items or systems (i.e., oscilloscope or multimeter).

CHAPTER 4. FEDERAL SUPPLY CLASS 6505 MATERIEL 

4-1. ARMY NATIONAL GUARD POLICY ON THE MANAGEMENT OF 

PHARMACEUTICALS IN MEDICAL ELEMENTS 

a. This guidance is intended to supplement AR 40-61 and SB 8-75-11, as 

they apply to the Army National Guard. 

b. This guidance establishes policy and responsibilities relative to the 

management of Federal Supply Class (FSC) 6505 materiel (pharmaceuticals) in the 

ARNG. It is applicable to all ARNG units/elements and ARNG PESs. It restricts 

authority to issue pharmaceuticals to the USPFO and other units and agencies 

operating as SSAs. Class VIII expendables are funded through OPTEMPO funds to 

include Aviation Life Support Equipment (ALSE). Civil Support Teams (CST) and 

CBRNE Enhanced Response Force Package (CERFP) are authorized a base formulary by 

USAMEDCOM and NGB Surgeon and any additional formulary items may be added and 

approved by the respective State Surgeon. Additionally, CST and CERFP are 

authorized Medical, Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense Materiel 

(MCBRNDM) that will be included with their approved formulary. 

4-2. STOCKAGE LISTS 

a. USPFOs may provide IMSA-type support to ARNG units. USPFOs and 

ARNG TOE units assigned a medical supply support mission will operate IAW AR 40-61. 

b. Contracts with PVs have reduced the requirement to stock large quantities 

of FSC 6505 items. This reduction has resulted in large cost savings because items no 

longer sit on warehouse shelves waiting to expire. Prime Vendor service is contracted 

to provide the item(s) within 7-10 days, and is available throughout the United States 

and many parts of the world. 

c. States may utilize several options with respect to the PV system; refer to 

para 1-9 of this publication for guidance. 

4-3. ARNG UNITS ASSIGNED A PATIENT-CARE MISSION 

a. ARNG units assigned a mission of providing patient care to military 

personnel, authorized such care by AR 40-3, may requisition and use controlled, shelf 

life refrigerated materiel. During use, units will control and account for items IAW, 

AR 40-61, Chapter 3. 

b. Authorized pharmaceuticals will be listed on a formulary signed by the 

State Surgeon. NGB Surgeon is the approving authority for base formulary of the CST 

and CERFP. The State Surgeon will countersign the CST and CERFP formulary 

annually. 
SB 8-75-S10

4-2 

4-4. FORMULARIES

 a. A formulary is defined as a list of pharmaceuticals authorized for stockage by 

a medical element. The only units authorized to stock FSC 6505 materiel are those 

with formularies approved by the State Surgeon. 

 b. All medical units and medical elements of operational units will have an 

individual formulary. The State formulary is a master list of all FSC 6505 items on all 

individual unit formularies. ARNG CST and CERFP are authorized to stock FSC 6505 

year round. ALL controlled Medical, Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Defense Materiel 

(MNBCDM) will be authorized by Office of the Surgeon General (OTSG) Operations 

Division. These MNBCDM items are only available through army medical depots. 

 c. Format: 

(1) To be valid, a formulary must list the unit to which it applies, identify 

and state the level of provider (physician or physician's assistant, etc.) who must be 

present to disperse each pharmaceutical not authorized for dispensing by a medical 

health care specialist. The formulary must be dated and signed by the State 

Surgeon (signature authority cannot be delegated). The State Surgeon will 

provide to the USPFO, in writing, the highest level health-care provider 

assigned to the unit. This enables the USPFO to approve requisitions for items that 

regulations and laws allow to be dispensed by the personnel assigned to the unit. 

With the exception of the items listed in paragraph f. (2) below, ARNG units will not

stock FSC 6505 item, unless authorized on the unit’s validated formulary. See below 

for an example of formulary format. 

 (2) Each item listed on the formulary will be described with its NSN/MCN 

(Management Control Number)/NDC (National Drug Codes), for Prime Vendor items 

where an NSN is not available), nomenclature, size of unit pack or strength (i.e., 50s, 

10mg/ml). 

(3) Controlled substances authorized by formulary will show R or Q in the 

NOTES column as listed by Controlled Inventory Item Code (CIIC) field in the 

Management Data Section of the DoD Medical Catalog (MEDCAT) or Universal Data 

Repository (UDR) Medical Catalog. UDR Medical Catalog is available on the web at 

https://www.dlis.dla.mil/udr/frmLogon.aspx. Both publications are on CD-ROM 

format. 

(4) The State Surgeon will sign and date each formulary. 

 d. Review: 

 (1) All formularies will be reviewed annually by the State Surgeon to include 

CST and CERFP. A new signature and date by the State Surgeon is the evidence of an 

annual review. This review should take place with enough time before the AT cycle to 

allow units/elements and the USPFO to make the required adjustments. The exception 

is the CST and CERFP are authorized to stock FSC 6505 items to include controlled 

substances all year based on the base formulary. 

 (2) Additional FSC 6505 may be added upon approval of the respective 

State Surgeon and should be funded with state’s Indirect OPTEMPO funds. Items 
SB 8-75-S10

4-3 

required infrequently, other than those that could be required for emergency 

treatment to preserve life, limb or eye sight, should be omitted from the formularies. 

When these items are required, they should be procured by individual prescription 

from military medical facilities or civilian pharmacies. Formularies are considered valid 

for one year. Please see Table 4-1 for the formulary example.

 e. Post Annual Training Report of Usage: 

Within 60 days of AT all medical units/elements will report the quantity of items used 

during their AT cycle. This allows the State Surgeon to compare projection versus actual 

usage and adjust authorized quantities on the formulary. This report is to be made by 

annotating the quantity used on the formulary. 

f. Changes to the Formulary: 

(1) Items are added/deleted and quantities are changed by authorization of 

the State Surgeon. Units will petition the State Surgeon by memorandum 

recommending the change(s) and stating the justification. After approval, the formulary 

will be adjusted by the State Surgeon and distributed as described in para 4-4h. 
SB 8-75-S10

4-6 

(2) The State Surgeon processes formulary requests based on the guidance 

given below. Items not requiring documentation on formularies are: 

(a) Ammonia Inhalant Solution, Aromatic 

(b) Aspirin, USP 

(c) Acetaminophen, USP 

(d) Ibuprofen (100 and 200mg doses only) 

(e) Calamine Lotion, Phenolated

(j) Petrolatum, White, USP 

(k) Povidone - Iodine Topical Solution, USP 

(l) Sunscreen Preparation 

(m) Talc, USP 

(n) Undecylenic Acid and Zinc Undecylenate Powder 

g. Table of Organization & Equipment (TOE) unit formularies should not 

authorize pharmaceuticals, which are components of the unit’s TOE sets. This 

restriction is not intended to limit units those items found in TOE sets if other items 

are needed to provide anticipated patient care. Units should not routinely order or 

maintain MTOE FSC 6505 items associated with unit assemblages. 

 h. Distribution: 

Upon approval of the formulary, the State Surgeon will retain one copy, one copy 

provided to the unit, and one copy furnished to the stock control branch of the USPFO. 

i. Formularies in combination with CTA 8-100 (Army Medical Department 

Expendable/Durable Items) constitute FSC 6505 requisitioning authority for ARNG 

medical elements. CTA 8-100 is available on the US Forces Management Agency 

(USAFMA) at https://webtaads.belvoir.army.mil/usafmsa/. 

j. Vaccines (as required by AR 40-562, Immunizations and Chemoprophylaxis) 

are not required to be listed on formularies. The issue of vaccines will be approved by 

USPFO in conformance with written guidance from the State Surgeon. Only those 

units with personnel trained and authorized to administer immunizations will be issued 

vaccines and supplies. Routine immunizations are funded by ARNG Medical Readiness 

dollars (MDEP NG6H). The following are the routine vaccines: 

(1) Tetanus and Diphtheria 

(2) Influenza 

(3) Hepatitis A 

(4) Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR, MR, MRV) 

(5) Polio 

(6) Tuberculosis PPD Skin test – Required for health care workers and 

specific deployments 

(7) Varicella Immunity Status – Required for health care workers 

(8) Hepatitis B – Required for health care workers and MOS/AOC determined 

to be at risk 

k. All immunizations required beyond the routine immunizations, should be 

paid using either CONOPS (Contingency Operations) funds or monies provided by CINC 

(Commander in Chief) in the theater of operation, i.e., SOUTHCOM. 
SB 8-75-S10

4-7 

l. Army Annual Influenza Virus Vaccine Program 

(1) The USAMMA is the Inventory Control Point for the Army for the 

Influenza Virus Vaccine, which is an Acquisition Advice Code (AAC), A item. Defense 

Supply Center, Philadelphia (DSCP) contracts with vaccine manufacturers, acquires 

the flu vaccine, and distributes it to activities based on the priorities submitted on 

requests by the USAMMA. The USAMMA collects the requirements and tracks all 

requisitions until they are filled. 

(2) NSNs change yearly for the flu vaccine. It is essential that the current’s 

year’s NSNs be used in the requesting process. NSNs requisitioned must coincide with 

NSNs previously submitted for the requirements. If a change is required, notify the 

USAMMA Customer Support Branch (MCMR-MMO-TC) at DSN 343-3242 / 

301-619-3242 or email usammafluvaccine@amedd.army.mil for assistance. The 

requisitions should be ordered via the USAMMA website and the unit/state is 

responsible for the funding. 

m. Within 30 days following the conclusion of the immunization cycle, unused 

vaccines not authorized by formulary that are: 

(1) Unit-of-issue quantities will be turned in to the USPFO. 

(2) Other-than-unit-of-issue quantities, will be destroyed IAW the 

guidance in the current AR 40-61 and the MIDI, or turned in to the USPFO for 

destruction. 

n. USPFO and other SSAs will process requisitions for FSC 6505 items only if 

they are listed on valid formularies. Units drawing FSC 6505 materiel from SSAs other 

than USPFO must present a copy of their formulary, approved by the State Surgeon, 

to that SSA. 

o. Requirements for non-formulary FSC 6505 items may be processed as 

follows: 

(1) Request an addition to the formulary. 

(2) Write a prescription to be filled at a TMC, military hospital, or local 

civilian pharmacy. (Health care personnel must ensure that the USPFO-approved 

funding arrangement exists prior to obtaining pharmaceuticals from a civilian 

pharmacy.) 

4-5. ACCOUNTING FOR PHARMACEUTICALS 

 a. Unit-of-issue quantities may be accounted for on DA Form 3862 

(Controlled Substances Stock Record) or DA Form 1296 (Stock Accounting Record )or 

current electronic equivalent at the option of the Unit/Activity. Generally, Units with 

only small quantities of pharmaceuticals on hand will find it simpler to account for both 

unit-of-issue and less-than-unit-of-issue quantities on the same DA Form 3862. Local 

computer generated forms that include the pertinent information are acceptable when 

DA Form1296 or TAMMIS / TCAM is unavailable. 
SB 8-75-S10

4-8 

b. Less-than-unit-of-issue quantities will be accounted for as follows: 

(1) Topical preparations and IV solutions - no requirement. 

(2) Controlled substances - DA Form 3862. 

(3) Legend pharmaceuticals, less topical preparations and IV solutions - 

DA Form 3862. 

(4) Non-legend pharmaceuticals - no requirement unless specified in the 

formulary. 

c. Prescriptions (DD Form 1289, DoD Prescription): 

(1) Required for all controlled substances and legend drugs. 

(2) Retained and disposed of by the unit or facility filling them. 

(3) Retention period - 5 years, (AR 25-400-2 The Army Recordkeeping 

(ARMS) 

(4) Subject to inspection. 

d. Inventories of FSC 6505 materiel will be conducted: 

(1) During the last three days of the Annual Training (AT) period, the 

medical activity Commander will appoint a disinterested officer to perform the duty of 

inventories. If officer personnel are not available, a senior Noncommissioned Officer 

(E7 or above) may be appointed as Inventory Officer. The Appointed Duty Officer will: 

(a) Compare the document register with DA Form 3862 and 

1296, to ensure receipts have been posted to DA Forms 3862 and 1296. 

(b) Inventory pharmaceuticals listed on DA Form 3862 and DA 

Form 1296, entering results on the forms. 

(c) Reconcile prescriptions (DD Form 1289) with entries on the 

DA Form 3862. 

(d) Comply with the provisions of appropriate regulations if 

discrepancies are noted: 

[1] Minor shortages of FSC 6505 materiel, less Notes Q 

and R materiel will be investigated 

[2] Shortages of Notes Q and R materiel and major 

shortages of other FSC 6505 will be investigated through conduct of an AR 

15-6 investigation or initiation of a Report of Survey. 

(2) Within 60 days following completion of AT: 

(a) Forward to the State Surgeon a copy of the formulary annotated 

with the quantity of each item consumed during AT. Keep another copy, it will be 

valuable in deciding what to order for the following AT period. 

(b) Forward to the State Surgeon fully justified requests for addition to 

or deletion from the formulary. 

(3) 150-210 days prior to AT inventory: 

(a) Reconcile DA Form 3862. 

(b) Determine AT requirements and forward requirements/ requisitions 

to the source of supply, or as directed by higher headquarters. 

(4) Management of controlled substances to include inventories will be 

conducted IAW AR 40-61. 
SB 8-75-S10

4-9
