Medical Materiel

1. The IMSA will provide support to NTC rotational units while operating at Fort Irwin. With a recent stock fund conversion, the on-hand balances of all medical items are greatly diminished. What that means, is that we rely on Prime Vendor, credit card, and local purchases to fill requirements not stocked on our shelves. Anticipate a 2-5 day order ship time (OST) for those items. Depot-stock items (SOS: S9M) OST remains between 20-45 days so plan accordingly. If you order depot-stocked items here at Fort Irwin, you probably won’t see them before your unit redeploys so take a look at your MESs and requisition/receive shortages at home station well in advance of your deployment to the NTC, see Chap. H-9 CLVIII FC Regulation 350-50-1. Unit assemblages can be found on the USAMMA webpage at http://www.armymedicine.army.mil/usamma/

2. Required Documentation: Units should complete the DA Form 1687, Notice of Delegation of Authority, and Assumption of Command orders and forward to the below address NLT 30 days prior to the rotation.

   ATTN: MCXK-L
   Medical Supply Office (Mrs. Fejerang)
   Fort Irwin, CA 92310
   or FAX DSN 470-3435/Tele# DSN 470-3192

3. Billing is done directly to unit’s DODAAC/APC (a change since the stock fund conversion) so ensure they are valid and resourced. During pre-rotation coordination, units should provide the Medical Supply Office with funding caps and beginning document sequence numbers to assist with account management.

4. The IMSA’s SHIP TO address may be used to preposition bulk medical supplies to assist with the possible transportation limitation during deployment. Ensure shipments are clearly marked with the unit designation and NTC rotation number. SHIP to address:
   
   Medical Receiving Point
   Building 178, Rotation Number _________
   Unit_______________ATTN: MCXK-L-EM
   Fort Irwin, CA 92310

5. It is a recommended that units preconfigure separate medical supply packages for MILES casualties for operations at the NTC using expired/suspended items. IAW NTC ROE, these items can be reutilized throughout the campaign. This procedure has proven to be a cost effective when employed.

6. Units should report to building S-176, USA MEDDAC, Logistics Division ATTN: Mrs. Lydia Fejerang, once they arrive on Fort Irwin to establish their account.
