**WAR MATERIEL REQUIREMENTS AND SIMULATED MOBILIZATION EXERCISES**

C3.1.  GENERAL

	C3.1.1.  Purpose.  This chapter prescribes procedures for War Materiel Requirements (WMR) and simulated mobilization exercise.

******C3.1.2.  Transactions.  This chapter address the procedures applicable to the WMR function using the DLMS 830W, WMR Transaction.  The WMR function is identified by the DLMS 830W American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X12 beginning segment (1/BFR12/020) Planning Schedule Type Code XF–War Reserve Forecast.  Other DLMS formats, such as Extensible Markup Language (XML), are also available.  The DLMS formats are available on the Defense Enterprise Data Standards Office Website on the DLMS IC page.  The Defense Logistics Standard System (DLSS) Military Standard Transaction Reporting and Accountability Procedures (MILSTRAP) legacy 80 record position counterpart is provided for information purposes in a mixed DLSS/DLMS environment.  The DLMS WMR Transaction provides the functionality of MILSTRAP legacy Document Identifier Codes (DIC) DMA, DMB, DMC, DMD, and DME.  The 2/LQ01/190 WMR Code corresponds to to the legacy DICs.[footnoteRef:1] [1:  Refer to legacy DLM 4000.25, DLMS Volume 2, Appendix 3.28 DM_ War Materiel Requirements Data format.] 

			C3.1.2.1.  DIC DMS, Recurring U.S. Other WMR Data = LQ01 qualifier ‘LZ’ WMR Code 7–Recurring U.S. Balance War Reserves.

			C3.1.2.2.  DIC DMB, Nonrecurring U.S. Other WMR Data = LQ01 qualifier ‘LZ’ WMR Code 8–Nonrecurring U.S. Balance War Reserves.

			C3.1.2.3.  DIC DMC, Nonrecurring Allies Other WMR Data = LQ01 qualifier ‘LZ’ WMR Code 9–Nonrecurring Allies. Balance War Reserves.

			C3.1.2.4.  DIC DMD, WMR Forecasted Return Data = LQ01 qualifier ‘LZ’ WMR Code 4–WMR Forecasted Reparable Return.

			C3.1.2.5.  DIC DME, WMR Visibility Data = LQ01 qualifier ‘LZ’ WMR Code 10–Pre-Positioned War Reserve.  Wholesale, Protected and Nonprotected.

C3.2.  WAR MATERIEL REQUIREMENTS

	C3.2.1.  DoD Policy.  DoD Instruction 3110.06, “War Reserve Materiel Policy,” June 23, 2008, contains DoD policy for management and development of WMR.

	C3.2.2.  WMR procedures provide for:

			C3.2.1.1.  DoD Component submission of WMR data to the integrated materiel managers (IMMs) of the Military Departments, DLA, and GSA.

			C3.2.1.2.  IMM edit and validation of WMR Transaction data and rejection of incomplete or invalid input.

			C3.2.1.3.  Providing output from the losing inventory manager (LIM) to the gaining iventory manager (GIM) upon logistics reassignment of an item.

	C3.2.3.	This chapter also provides guidelines which affect simulated mobilization exercises.	

	C3.2.4.  DoD Component Input.  The DoD Components shall send WMR data to reach IMMs by 15 February of each year and shall submit corrections and/or changes as required.  Do not submit zero quantity requirements.

	C3.2.5.  IMM Responsibility.  The IMM shall control each DoD Component's input WMR Transactions by national stock number (NSN), edit the WMR Transactions, and validate the edited transactions for data adequacy and accuracy.  The IMM shall consider validated requirements in the annual computation of the Balance War Reserve, and in any recomputation of these requirements upon receipt of corrected or revised input.  When a WMR Transaction contains an invalid NSN, unit of issue, quantity, or date, process a DLMS 824R, Reject Advice.  However, when the transaction is invalid for any other reason, manually reject the entire submission to the submitting DoD Component.  Include all rejects on a listing showing an image of the input transaction and a code identifying the reason for the reject.  Mail the listing together with a letter explaining the reject code and action(s) required of the submitter.

	C3.2.6.  Logistically Reassigned Items.  When items are logistically reassigned, the LIM shall send the GIM a listing of WMR data with a supporting WMR Transaction, as prescribed in the Chapter 9 of this manual.

C3.3.  SIMULATED MOBILIZATION EXERCISES

	C3.3.1.  When establishing plans that require simulated mobilization exercises, identify the associated transactions as simulated mobilization exercise transactions as provided in the applicable DLMS transaction.  Do not process simulated mobilization transactions in the supply distribution system(s) as action documents that affect accountable/unit records.  The DoD Component activities responsible for initiating these exercises must use extreme caution to ensure explicit procedures and complete coordination with all participants.

	C3.3.2. C15.3.2.  Military Standard Requisitioning and Issue Procedures (MILSTRIP), prescribe Project Codes in the 3E series that are reserved for use in simulated mobilization exercises.
