Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Defense Equipment (NBCDE) Constitution and Consolidation Implementation Plan

1. REF A DIRECTED CONSOLIDATION OF NBCDE FUNDING, 
ACQUISITION, AND MANAGEMENT UNDER CG MARCORSYSCOM PROGRAM MANAGER
(PM)
FOR NBCDE. CG MARCORSYSCOM PROMULGATED AN LOI FOR CONSOLIDATION OF 
NBCDE (REF B). THE PURPOSE OF THIS MESSAGE IS TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE
AND INSTRUCTION FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CENTRALIZED MANAGEMENT OF
MARINE CORPS NBCDE THROUGH CONSOLIDATION. 
2. CONSOLIDATED STORAGE FACILITIES (CSF'S).
(A) REF B INCL THE IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE FOR 12 CSF'S AND
ASSOCIATED MASK ISSUE AND RECOVERY POINTS (MIRP'S). 
(B) CSF'S WILL BE STOOD UP IN THE FOLLOWING SEQUENCE:
MCB CAMLEJ, NC - COMMARCORBASESLANT
NAVY/MC RES CEN DALLAS/FT WORTH, TX - COMMARFORRES
MCAS YUMA, AZ - COMMARCORBASESPAC
MCB HAWAII - COMMARCORBASESPAC
MCAS CHERPT, NC - COMMARCORBASESLANT
MCB 29 PALMS, CA - COMMARCORBASESPAC
MCAS BEAUFORT, SC - COMMARCORBASESLANT
MCAS IWAKUNI, JAPAN - COMMARCORBASESPAC
MCB CAMP BUTLER, JAPAN - COMMARCORBASESPAC
CAMPS FOSTER/HANSEN, JAPAN - MIRPS - COMMARCORBASESPAC
MCAS MIRAMAR/MCB CAMPEN, CA - COMMARCORBASESPAC
MCB CAMPEN, CA - MIRPS - COMMARCORBASESPAC
MCB QUANTICO, VA - CGMARCORSYSCOM
MCAS NEW RIVER, NC - COMMARCORBASESLANT
3. PROGRAM OVERSIGHT. PP&O RETAINS OVERSIGHT OF THE NBCDE C&C
PROCESS AND WILL RESOLVE PRIORITY OF DISTRIBUTION ISSUES FOR
CORPS-WIDE DISTRIBUTION OF NBCD ASSETS (AUTHORITY FOR DISTRIBUTION
BETWEEN MARFORS). 
4. OPERATIONAL OVERSIGHT. DC, PP&O IS THE ADVOCATE FOR NBCDE. DC,
PP&O EXERCISES CORPS-WIDE OVERSIGHT BY SETTING MARFOR CHEMICAL
BIOLOGICAL DEFENSE (CBD) OPERATIONAL READINESS PRIORITIES AND
DIRECTING INTRA-CORPS DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS AS REQUIRED. 
COMMARFORLANT, COMMARFORPAC, AND COMMARFORRES ARE THE SUPPORTED
COMMANDERS. THEY EXERCISE OPERATIONAL OVERSIGHT BY SETTING CBD
OPERATIONAL READINESS PRIORITIES FOR SUBORDINATE UNITS AND DIRECTING
DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS AS REQUIRED. MARFORS WILL COMPLY WITH REF B
TO ENSURE SUCCESSFUL NBCDE CONSOLIDATION. 
5. PROGRAM MANAGEMENT
(A) IAW REF C, THE NBCDE INVENTORY SUPPORTING ELEMENT COMMANDER IS
CG, MARCORSYSCOM. THE PM, NBCDE ACTS AS HIS AGENT TO MANAGE THE
NBCDE C&C PROGRAM AND FUND, AQUIRE, MAINTAIN, AND FACILITATE
DISTRIBUTION OF NBCDE ASSETS. 
(B) THE PM, NBCDE RETAINS CORPS-WIDE NBCDE FUNDING, ACQUISITION, AND
MANAGEMENT OVERSIGHT OF NBCDE STOCKS THROUGH NBC LOGISTICS MANAGERS
WHO WORK DIRECTLY FOR THE PM AND ARE LOCATED AT EACH OF THE 12
CSF'S. THE PM, NBCDE WILL MANAGE THE CORPS-WIDE NBCDE INVENTORY AND
DISTRIBUTION PROCESS. PM, NBCDE WILL REPORT NBCDE INVENTORY POSTURE
TO DC, PP&O AND ALL MSC'S AS DIRECTED BY DC, PP&O THROUGH THE NBC
TRACKING SYSTEM PER REF B, ENCLOSURE (7).
(C) THE NBC TRACKING SYSTEM IS AN AUTOMATED WEB-BASED INTERFACE
DEVELOPED BY THE PM, NBCDE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONTRACTOR, NEW
BREED, WHICH TRACKS CORPS-WIDE NBCDE INVENTORY DURING THE
CONSOLIDATION PROCESS. NBC TRACKING SYSTEM ACCESS IS THROUGH THE
NBC TRACKING PORTAL. THE PM NBCDE CONTROLS ACCESS TO THE PORTAL.
(D) PM, NBCDE WILL INITIALLY EMPLOY CURRENT CLASS I AND II MARINE
CORPS APPLICATIONS AND SYSTEMS TO EXCHANGE DATA BETWEEN ALL
NECESSARY FUNCTIONAL ELEMENTS OF THE NBCDE SUPPLY CHAIN. FOR
DEPLOYED AND GARRISON OPERATIONS OUTSIDE THE CSF NETWORK, NBC
DEFENSE EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (NBC DEMP) WILL BE USED TO
MANAGE NBCDE STATUS AND ON-HAND QUANTITIES. ONCE CONSOLIDATION IS
COMPLETE, THE NBC TRACKING SYSTEM WILL REPLACE THE NBC DEMP AS THE
SOURCE OF INFORMATION FOR NBCDE INVENTORY QUANTITIES AND STATUS.
(E) THE CSF NETWORK HAS DATA REPORTING TOOLS THAT PROVIDE OPERATING
FORCES VISIBILITY, DOWN TO THE BATTALION LEVEL, OF ALL NBCDE MANAGED
BY THE CSF. FOR NBCDE HELD BY UNITS NOT SUPPORTED BY THE CSF,
VISIBITY WILL BE MAINTAINED THROUGH THE NBC DEMP UNTIL THEIR
INVENTORY INFORMATION IS TRANSFERRED TO THE EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM (EMS) OF THE CSF. THIS WEB-BASED INTERFACE DIRECTLY
REFERENCES THE DATA WAREHOUSE USED BY THE CSF AND ALLOWS NON-CSF
MANAGED UNITS THE ABILITY TO SEND UPDATED NBCDE INFORMATION TO THE
STRATEGIC LOGISTICS ASSETS MANAGEMENT (SLAM) PMO USING A REQUEST
FORM ON THE NBC TRACKING SYSTEM PORTAL.
(F) THE PM, NBCDE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR GENERATING ACCURATE DATA TO
SUPPORT OPERATIONS WITHIN THE CSF NETWORK, AND EQUIPMENT READINESS
INITIATIVES WITHIN THE MARINE CORPS. PM, NBCDE IS COLLABORATING
WITH THE PM, GLOBAL COMBAT SUPPORT SYSTEMS MARINE CORPS (GCCS-MC) TO
ALIGN NBCDE MANAGEMENT PROCESSES AND DATA SYSTEMS WITH CURRENT AND
FUTURE MARINE CORPS LOGISTICS INITIATIVES. 
(G) PM, NBCDE WILL FACILITATE DISTRIBUTION OF NBCDE PER THE
DIRECTION OF DC PP&O AND/OR THE MARFORS/MEFS.
6. RESPONSIBLE OFFICER ACCOUNTING
(A) IAW REF C, THE PM NBCDE IS THE RESPONSIBLE/ACCOUNTABLE OFFICER. 
THE PM NBCDE CONTROLS ACCESS, ACCOUNTS FOR, OVERSEES DISTRIBUTION,
AND REPORTS SUPPLY READINESS OF THE CONSOLIDATED NBCDE AT THE CSF'S
VIA THE NBC TRACKING SYSTEM. UNITS WILL CONTINUE TO REPORT NBCDE
INVENTORY VIA NBC DEMP UNTIL CONSOLIDATED IN THE NBC TRACKING
SYSTEM. 
(B) NBCDE DRAWN BY A UNIT FOR TRAINING, EXERCISES, OR OPERATIONS
WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO THE RESPONSIBLE OFFICER OF THE OWNING UNIT
PER REF B.
7. READINESS REPORTING
(A) THE CONSOLIDATION PLAN DOES NOT RELIEVE COMMANDERS OF THE
RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE A SUBJECTIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE UNIT'S
TRAINING AND EQUIPMENT READINESS TO PERFORM ITS WARTIME MISSION
UNDER CHEMICAL OR BIOLOGICAL CONDITIONS PER REF D. 
(B) CJCSM 3150.02 (GLOBAL STATUS OF RESOURCES AND TRAINING SYSTEM,
01 APR 00) DIRECTS THAT FOR EACH UNIT SORTS REPORT SUBMITTED,
COMMANDERS WILL PROVIDE A SUBJECTIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE UNIT'S
READINESS TO PERFORM ITS WARTIME MISSION UNDER CHEMICAL OR
BIOLOGICAL CONDITIONS. COMMANDERS ARE TO SHOW HOW WELL THE UNIT
MEETS PRESCRIBED LEVELS OF EQUIPMENT AND TRAINING TO PERFORM THEIR
MISSION. CBD READINESS REPORTING UNDER THE CONSOLIDATION PLAN
ALLOWS COMMANDERS TO MEET THIS REPORTING REQUIREMENT WITHOUT THE
NEED OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR DIRECT OVERSIGHT OF NBCDE THEY DO NOT
PHYSICALLY POSSESS. 
(C) COMMANDERS WILL REPORT CBD EQUIPMENT READINESS BASED ON THE
NBCDE ALLOCATED OR ASSIGNED TO THEM BY THE MARFOR COMMANDER OR
DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVE. TYPICALLY, NBCDE WILL BE ALLOCATED TO
UNITS WHILE IN GARRISON, AND ASSIGNED TO UNITS FOR OPERATIONAL
DEPLOYMENTS (E.G. CONTINGENCY, MEU(SOC)). COMMANDERS WILL HAVE
COMPLETE VISIBILITY OF THEIR INVENTORY (ALLOCATED OR ASSIGNED)
THROUGH THE NBC TRACKING SYSTEM PORTAL PER REF B ENCLOSURE (7).
(D) IN THEIR SORTS REPORT CBD REMARKS, COMMANDERS WILL ENTER A
MANDATORY REMARK EXPLAINING WHETHER THE REPORTED CBD LEVEL IS BASED
ON NBCDE ALLOCATED OR ASSIGNED TO THE UNIT. 
8. THIS MARADMIN IS EFFECTIVE UPON DATE OF RELEASE.
