buse is never acceptable, not even when we’re talking about priority
designators (PD) used for ordering parts through the supply system.
You folks—and
you know
who you are
—who use a high PD when it’s not
needed are bogging down the system. That slows down your request, and also
the request from the unit that used a high priority because it was
necessary
.
Determining the correct PD requires matching your unit’s Force/Activity Des-
ignator (FAD) to its Urgency of Need Designator (UND). Table 2-1 of DA Pam
710-2-1 shows how PDs relate to FADs and UNDs.
Each unit has a FAD. It is either a I, II, III, IV or V. You can find the
FAD on your unit’s permanent activation orders.
Get the UND (either an A, B or C) by following the guidelines in Paras
2-2b(1), 2-2b(2), 2-2b(3) and 2-2d of DA Pam 710-2-1.
If you pick a UND of A or B, your CO (or someone he has designated in
writing) must confirm the PD and validate its use per Para 2-3 of DA Pam 710-
2-1. He must also initial Column H of the DA Form 2064, Document Register
for Supply Actions, for each request before it goes to supply. Army Reserve
units also use this method.
In the National Guard, the chiefs of Table of Distribution and Allowances
(TDA) activities, or state maintenance officers are the only ones who can review
and approve PDs in UNDs of A or B.

oamed through the stacks of a good
library lately?
The Joint Service Pollution Preven-
tion Technical Library—P2 for short—
is one good library where your eyes
can do the roaming.
You’ll find P2 on the Internet, on
diskette and on CD-ROM.
Two of the “books” you can open
are the
DLA Environmental Products
Catalog
and the
Joint Service P2
Opportunity Handbook.
The DLA catalog contains more than
800 NSNs in 17 categories of the best
environmentally friendly products
available. There is also an extensive
list of points of contact who can help
you find a substitute for a non-friendly
product you might now be using.
The opportunity handbook has in-
formation on current technologies,
management practices and process
changes that reduce the amount of
hazardous and solid waste produced.
