EQUIPMENT

8–1. Purpose

Provide equipment guidance for all personnel who mobilize and/or deploy in support of
contingency operations and peacekeeping missions.

8–2. General

a. Clothing and Individual Equipment (CIE) is provided to the military (Active Army, and
Reserve Component (RC) units) authorized DoD civilians, Red Cross, AAFES, and contractor
personnel when required for deployment in support of contingency operations and
peacekeeping missions. Active Army and RC units are responsible for fielding Organizational
Clothing and Individual Equipment (OCIE) for deploying Soldiers to the maximum extent
possible at home station using Operations and Maintenance Army (OMA) funds. If funds are not
available, US Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) will assist units with funding issues. RC
filler/replacement personnel assigned to Troop Program Units (TPU) deploying as individuals,
with the exception of the Push and Pull Soldiers being treated as Non-Unit Related Personnel
(NRP), will report to the Force Generation Platform (FGP), (installations that deploy one or more
brigades) and/or CONUS Replacement Center (CRC) with full wartime allowance of personal
clothing and OCIE in serviceable condition. Military personnel will also deploy with Military
Occupational Specialty (MOS) specific OCIE items (e.g. combat vehicle, crewmembers
coveralls, Army aircrew combat uniform, mechanics coveralls, fuel handler coveralls, etc.).

b. Troop Program Unit (TPU) personnel will report to the mobilization station or CRC with their
full wartime allowance of personal clothing and OCIE in serviceable condition.

c. RC units alerted for mobilization will submit a list of their unresolved deployment OCIE
shortages through their chain of command to the mobilization station Central Issue Facility
(CIF). The mobilization station CIF will requisition and issue all shortages of deployment/theater
specific OCIE using Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) or Contingency Operations
(CONOPS) funding along with placing the Operational Project Code on all requisitions. Upon
redeployment, the mobilization station CIF will recover non-unit fielded OCIE.

c. RFI fielding sites at mobilization station will issue theater specific uniforms and OCIE.
Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) uniforms and OCIE are only issued to units/Soldiers
who are attached or prioritized enablers to specific theater missions. HQDA G3 determines
which theater and mission is authorized OCP OCIE. If issued, the unit must forward a list of
names for Soldiers arriving to the mobilization station. OCP nametags will need least 30 days in
