Dear Editor,
The number of unauthorized units submitting
Issue Priority Group 01 requisitions is increasing.
Because of this, the supply system appears to be
ignoring any IPG 01 and simply making a priority
abuse file of the units.
Units should use only the IPG they are
authorized. When IPG 01 priorities reach
unmanageable proportions, the units that truly
need, and are authorized, the IPG 01 priority
may find their urgent requisitions delayed by
everyone else.
You can determine your correct IPG by
matching your unit’s Force/Activity Designator
(FAD) to its Urgency of Need Designator (UND).
Table 2-1 of DA Pam 710-2-1 relates IPGs to
FADs and UNDs.
Your unit’s FAD is
found on its unit’s
permanent activation
orders. To determine
your UND, refer to
the guidelines in
Paras 2-2b(1),
2-2b(2), 2-2b(3)
and 2-2d of Pam
710-2-1.
Project codes not only get
priority release, they also
affect the mode and priority
of transportation as well as
the ability to track the cost
of the operation.

AMC-OSC SUPPLY LAR
Just as bad as using unauthorized
IPDs is not applying authorized
project codes.
Numerous 01 and 02 Not Mission
Capable Supply (NMCS) requests
continue to be received from units
deployed in support of Enduring Freedom,
Project Code 9GF. The problem in this
case is some of the units are not using
the project code assigned to them.
This often delays delivery of the part.
The priority of release within IPG 1-3 is:
Joint Chief of Staff Project Code, then
NMCS 999, then "N" NMCS, then
"A" NMCS, then 777, then all others
by requisition date.
Good info to keep supplies
moving quickly to units that
really need them.
