Depot maintenance activation planning requirements are defined through systems engineering process and, in particular, through the life cycle sustainment planning process. The following paragraphs are an overview of the main elements of planning requirements.

6 It is Department of Defense (DoD) policy (DoD Directive , maintenance of Military MATERIEL ) to provide organic maintenance for inherently Governmental and core capability requirements in accordance with Title 10 United States Code (USC) 2464, Core Logistics Capabilities. This publication provides guidance in depot activation and establishing the organic capability at the ALCs. Sustainment planning begins early in the acquisition process, pre-Milestone (MS) A. It can also begin any time major changes occur due to: (1) a 20 percent or more increase in labor hours, cost or quantities; (2) major deficiencies or safety mishaps; (3) modifications;. (4) Material Improvement Projects; (5) approval of major cost savings efforts from accepted suggestions; (6) other major changes not described here.

7 Any of these major changes may generate a new Depot Source of Repair (DSOR) decision. HQ AFMC/A8/9 manages the AFMC Mission Assignment (MA) process, which assigns acquisition and sustainment management responsibilities for weapon systems and programs to the appropriate Center. DSOR. All Air FORCE depot level maintenance posturing decisions are made through the DSOR process (reference AFI 63-101, Acquisition and Sustainment Life Cycle Management) (hardware and software). AFI 63-101 defines how a product support strategy integrates acquisition and sustainment throughout the weapon system s life cycle, and requires the Program Manager (PM) to consider core and partnered workloads in their DSOR. development. Once the DSOR has been completed, Depot maintenance Activation Working Group (DMAWG) activities begin in earnest.

8 Unless otherwise specified, for the purpose of this document the term PM will be considered synonymous with System Program Manager (SPM) or Product Group Manager (PGM), as applicable to a program. Furthermore, the PM may assign specific responsibilities to the Product Support Manager (PSM). Normally, the PSM will be the individual tasked with the majority of depot maintenance activation planning activities. The PM/PSM may also receive assistance from the Product Support Integrator (PSI). See AFI 63-101 for a description of specific duties. Funding. Funding for depot activation includes requirements for facilities, equipment, training, data, TDY, and other directly related expenses to ensure the required sustainment capability is developed.

9 The PM is responsible for including all depot activation costs in the program life cycle cost estimates that are provided to the MAJCOM for funding before MS. B, or MS C if there is no MS B. Refer to DoD Financial Management Regulation R for further guidance. AFMCI21-101 14 JUNE 2012 5. DMAWG Initiation. The DMAWG is formally initiated after DSOR completion and shall continue until all required workloads are activated. DMAWG meetings, which should occur at least quarterly, can take place virtually if warranted to conserve funds or interim virtual meetings may be needed to meet more frequent needs. Specific members may also be chosen to attend virtually if a particular meeting does not warrant their physical presence. The DSOR team will provide a foundation of information for the DMAWGs.

10 If the organic DSOR is another Service, the selected depot will provide the same support to the PO for sustainment planning and implementation. The PM or PSM (civilian or military personnel) will chair or co-chair the DMAWG with the PSI and oversee the maintenance Activation Planning Team(s) (MAPT). The selected depot will provide support to the DMAWG and MAPTs, as required, to ensure the timely stand up of capability (hardware and software). The Acquisition Sustainment (AS) Tool Kit is a source of information for depot maintenance planning (reference AFI 63-101). The AS. Tool Kit lays out DMAP tasks by phase and can provide assistance with DMAWG initiation. The DMAWG will have, as a minimum, the following voting members: The PM or PSM as chair or co-chair with the PSI; MAPT lead assigned by each selected depot that has an assigned workload; AFGLSC representative; and the owning Major Command.
