Abstract
The Family of Combat Equipment Support and Services provides research, development, test and evaluation on low cost items with an emphasis on non-developmental/commercially available items. Much of the RDT&E is conducted in coordination/concert with other services and joint organizations, and in consideration of RDT&E efforts being pursued by the other Services. Items approved for procurement will transition into Procurement Marine Corps and the Operation and Maintenance Marine Corps accounts for Individual Combat Equipment, Medical Equipment, Shelters and Combat Field Feeding Systems. The focus is to provide state of the art combat equipment (e.g. lightweight helmet, sleeping bags, load bearing systems, etc.), medical equipment (e.g. Authorized Medical Allowance (AMAL)/Authorized Dental Allowance (ADAL), Enroute Care, Mobile Medical Monitors, etc.), Family of shelters (soft wall, different frames and fabrics, etc.), and Family of Combat Field Feeding Systems (technology insertion for the Expeditionary Field Kitchen (EFK), Modernized Tray Ration Heating System. etc.). The benefits will be reduced logistics, less weight, improved combat effectiveness, better echelon I and II care for Marines, improved individual and unit protection, expeditionary feeding platforms, tactical mobility, etc. The employment of state of the art equipment will ensure Marines are equipped and supported with the best items that technology can offer. The decrease in funding from FY15 to FY16 reflects rephasing of development funds to better align with the program development schedule.
