Clean Sweep:
T
he Army reports that some centrally managed organizational clothing and
individual equipment (OCIE) is showing up in PBUSE.
Generally, units should not buy or stock centrally managed OCIE issued by
Central Issue Facilities (CIFs). Too often, OCIE accountability is lost during change
of commands and deployments. Loss of visibility can also mean money down the
drain if a unit reorders OCIE it already has.
The complete list of OCIE that can be transferred from PBUSE to the installation
support module (ISM)-CIF contains more than 300 items.
Unit commanders, here’s a chance to scrub your property books. You can move
centrally managed OCIE out of PBUSE, get it off your unit’s property book and help
the Army redistribute supplies.
Best of all, moving centrally managed OCIE to your supporting CIF can also
free up your unit supply personnel. They’ll no longer have to maintain, manage or
account for all these items!

•

•

clothing system
(ECWCS) articles.
Note:
Before transferring any centrally managed items to your CIF, give them
your lateral transfer documentation and set a date for the actual transfer to occur. A
lateral transfer is not considered complete until property accountability is transferred
to the supporting/gaining CIF, and accounted for in the ISM-CIF. The CIF will
transfer OCIE items to the Soldier’s ISM-CIF clothing records.
For OCIE items already issued or hand-receipted to a Soldier, transfer the items
to the ISM-CIF, then note the transfer in the Soldier’s ISM-CIF clothing record. The
Soldier must sign the updated clothing record to ±nish the transaction.

We recommend keeping the last three years, unless your local command says otherwise.
