Abstract
The United States Marine Corps spends 32 million dollars
annually for the initial provisioning support of new weapon
systems. This support is vital to the performance of new
equipment during the initial period of operation. This thesis
contains a summary of the current responsibilities and procedures
for determining initial support in the Marine Corps.
It also addresses such issues as level of repair analysis,
provisioning technical documentation, phased provisioning,
contractor provided initial support, and combat essentiality.
Recommendations are made for additional investigation in the
following areas; the augmentation of provisioning project
teams, the formation of an ad hoc provisioning review board,
the scheduling of provisioning review conferences, the
elimination of excess stocks, and the contracting out of
initial support.
