to the theater and returned to the States, or disposed of in theater.


For example, a unit may be issued a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle upon arrival in theater. Te theater property book officer would hand- receipt the MRAP to that unit in PBUSE, simultaneously capturing the transaction in LIW. In planning for redeployment, the unit would submit an evaluation of the MRAP in TPE Planner, indicating the condition of the equipment. Tat evaluation goes automatically to brigade and division levels within the TPE Planner to determine whether the MRAP is to transfer laterally to another unit that needs it within the brigade or division or be deemed excess.


If the division indicates within TPE Planner that it deems the MRAP to be excess, TPE Planner pushes the evalua- tion on to the country level—U.S. Forces – Afghanistan (USFOR-A)—and then to theater, U.S. Army Central (ARCENT).


ARCENT looks theaterwide to deter- mine whether the MRAP would be useful to coalition forces or for foreign military sales, for example.


At this phase, another system within


LIW comes into play—the LMI DST. Tis system compares Army resources with validated, prioritized requirements. ARCENT uses LMI DST to see require- ments and then determines whether to send the equipment home with the unit (TPE to organization), or to a life-cycle management


command (LCMC) reset and further distribution.


Te LCMC—TACOM, in the case of the MRAP—determines whether to bring the MRAP back to the States and,


if so, where to send it, based on


known requirements. If the LCMC deter- mines that the MRAP will go to an Army depot for reset, the LCMC provides the disposition in TPE Planner, which con- currently triggers the Army War Reserve Deployment System (AWRDS). AWRDS


for


serves as the conduit between the prop- erty book and the wholesale system to build the necessary due-in records with LMP that will


ensure visibility and


accountability of equipment throughout the retrograde process.


ORGANIZATIONAL EQUIPMENT Although similar, the process and sys- tems vary slightly for equipment that a unit brings to theater. Te Automated Reset Management Tool (ARMT) within LIW provides disposition instruc- tions for organizational equipment that requires


some form of unit’s redeployment.


Organizational equipment normally falls into one of two categories: automatic return items (ARI), which normally go to a depot for reset; and intensively man- aged items (IMI), which normally are reset locally at a source of repair (SOR). Te Unit Reset Planner in ARMT iden- tifies which equipment is an ARI item,
