A HQO/HQU materiel management project is a supply management tool used to meet special materiel support requirements, which cannot readily be accommodated through the normal stock system. (paragraph 4)
Do not use materiel management projects for long term storage or to simply ensure HQO/HQU control of materiel. (paragraph 5)
Take no action to direct project materiel delivery to the ELC without prior approval of the project outline by Commandant (G-SEN) and commitment of any resources required from the requesting HQO/HQU by the ELC. (paragraph 5)
The overall term of a project should not exceed four years unless the project is tied to a multi-year procurement, a construction effort, silver reclamation, or major maintenance availability. (paragraph 5)
The HQO/HQU project manager must review semi-annual project inventory status (enclosure (3)) and submit a project outline amendment to the ELC for any changes in the project, (e.g., total number of project units, range of support, storage requirements, project completion date, etc). (paragraph 5)
