Impact on DARCOM of Nonstandard MTOE.

Abstract

This report examines how and why the creation of nonstandard MTOE can adversely impact DARCOM. The cost, in terms of management and operational dysfunction, is discussed. The conclusions are that DARCOM is adversely affected in several ways. Among these are perversion of the system to buy needed equipment, the system to distribute equipment, and the system to support items in the Army's inventory. The report recommends that commanders no longer be authorized to delay updating their MTOE to reflect changes made to the TOE, that the approval of unit initiated MTOE change be more stringently controlled, and that the established equipment acquisition and distribution priority systems be more closely coordinated.
