General

CEAC will maintain supply accountability for all equipment and material resources assigned. Use applicable Lead Service procedures. In general, supply buildup policy will ensure minimal logistical footprint in the EAC AOR. Supply point distribution is directed for material provided by theater components to the CEAC. Supply distribution within the EAC AOR will be determined by CEAC. CEAC, in conjunction with the Lead Service, will implement a responsive supply requisitioning and tracking system to ensure personnel and maintenance needs are met in a timely manner. This system must encompass support provided from other service components. Lead Service will provide CEAC automation and communications equipment required to accomplish this mission. CEAC will establish adequate security and control measures to prevent theft and pilferage. CEAC will use JCS Project Codes for requisitions, if applicable.

Excess equipment.

CEAC will identify excess items immediately to theater components for retrograde. Components will then provide disposition instructions to the EAC.

Back to contents.

Class I.

The primary source of perishable and non-perishable subsistence support will be determined by the Lead Service. The UN logistics system or individual purchase (missed meals) will be used if appropriate. CEAC will develop food and water plan by location.

Back to contents.

Class II.

Forces will deploy with organic clothing and equipment as prescribed by CEAC. If required, the Lead Service will establish a resupply system.

Back to contents.

Class III.

• When directed, CEAC will establish a Sub Area Petroleum Office (SAPO) to consolidate requirements, slate bulk fuel resupply, allocate fuel in constrained supply situations, coordinate area support command fuel distribution plans, coordinate overland fuel movements, and manage quality assurance and surveillance programs.
• Stockage policy will generally be 30 DOS afloat or enroute, 15 DOS at primary terminals, 5 DOS at forward supply points, and 3 DOS unit basic load. Only Jet A1/JP-8 will be stored in bulk. Use of single fuel (additized commercial Jet A1 or JP8) is directed. Diesel and MOGAS will be used as specialty fuels only. Maximum use of the UN logistics system for petroleum, oils and lubricants is prescribed, if available. Naval forces will continue using their in place resupply infrastructure.
• If POL enroute/on hand requirements exceed above, CEAC will forward requests for additional support to J4-LO for validation and tasking.
• CEAC will be prepared to: establish a central terminal using commercial and/or tactical storage and distribution facilities; establish sea terminal resupply by tanker; supplement in-country procurement of bulk fuel with rail and barge deliveries from an central region, if appropriate; establish secondary terminals with existing commercial facilities and/or tactical equipment; establish forward refuel points at locations without commercial facilities using FSSP, fare systems, and USAF R-14 ATHRS, as appropriate.
• As required, CEAC may pick up POL from secondary terminals. In event of overland transport disruptions, use Aerial Bulk Fuel Delivery System (ABFDS) or sling-loaded drums.

Class IV.

Maximum use of the UN logistics system for engineer and barrier materials is prescribed, if available. In most cases, contracting for required support will be used to the maximum extent possible.

Back to contents.

Class V.

Each service is responsible for service unique ammunition and weapons. The Lead Service will provide common user small arms ammunition as determined by CEAC. The stockage objective will be Minimum Distribution Supply Quantity (MDSQ) for ground components, 7 DOS forward for air components and 30 DOS afloat for sea components, if required.

Class VI.

Establishment of an AAFES retail operation will be determined by circumstances. CEAC, in coordination with AAFES, will operate and provide management controls for such operations, if established.

Back to contents.

Class VII.

Major end items. CEAC will maintain strict serialized accountability per service procedures. CEAC will forward requests for additional major end items to theater for validation. Once the requirement is validated, theater will direct the appropriate component to source and deliver the major end item.

Class VIII.

Need medical service to come on line and provide feedback.

Class IX.

CLASS IX will be IAW service procedures.

Class X.

Need feedback from the field.

Disposal

Care must be taken to ensure proper disposal of hazardous material and waste. Disposal must be IAW with whichever legal standard (USG or foreign nation support) is stricter.  For non-serialized, un-repairable items such as tables, chairs, shelves, etc. if shipping these items back to theater components is not cost-effective, dispose locally IAW service procedures. CEAC should provide disposition instructions for such items and maintain audit trail of items disposed of in this manner. For serialized items and equipment, CEAC will seek disposition instructions from the providing service component, through the lead service. If possible, EAC technicians will apply a condition code to the item. The Defense Reutilization and Marketing Region  (DRMR) will provide specific disposal instructions. Nearest Defense Reutilization Office (DRMO) will be utilized, if feasible. theater components will issue disposition and shipping instructions, and use DD Form 1348-1 for transfer to DRMR. theater components must absorb transportation costs.

Hazardous Material

Hazardous material, to include POL products, explosives and medical waste, will be disposed of IAW DOD 4160.21-M. Use 4160.21-M for procedures on segregation, documentation, marking, packaging, containerization and shipment manifests. Refer further requests for technical guidance or assistance to the designated Executive Agent foreign nation support laws must be complied with at all times in this area. CEAC is responsible for ensuring strict adherence to proper procedures

Mortuary Affairs.

A Lead Service will be designated as Executive Agent for mortuary affairs by theater or the CINC. Unless approved by theater or the CINC, temporary internment will not be used for human remains. CEAC will prepare and evacuate remains as rapidly as possible IAW procedures provided by the Executive Agent. Support required from other components will be tasked by the Executive Agent IAW theater or the CINC Directive.

Back to contents.

General Service Support.

Lead Service will provide service support not identified above (i.e. bakery, laundry, textile repair, sanitation, showers, etc.) using US unilateral contracts for the required services. If locally negotiated contracts cannot satisfy these requirements, CEAC will forward requests for services to theater or the CINC for validation and sourcing. Where applicable, UN logistics system will be used to provide these troop services.

Back to contents.

Base Operating Support

Lead component service will be the executive agency for all base support opeerations required by the EAC headquarters.  This support does not extend to service specific facilities ie., airfields, occupied soley by one specific service.
