Continues through the life of MPF Program.
MPF MEB structure and capabilities
continues to change.
MPE/S modifications, replacement, or new
equipment requirement.
Tailoring
MPF-05 8
Tailoring Process
Goal: provide a PO that supports the requirements for
the MPF MEB, NMCB, FltHosp, and NSE material
aboard each MPS.
Coordinated Navy and Marine Corps activity.
Tailoring conferences conducted every 36 mo.
-Review, revise, and publish standard PO for E/S to ensure
interoperability and materiel management within MPF program.
***All classes of supplies are reviewed.
MPF-05 9
Tailoring Process, continued…
PO change Requests:
- Each MEF reviews MCBul 3501 and NAVMC 2907 and
forward changes to respective MARFORs.
- Discussed at Tailoring Conference to ensure all
participating members agree the capability is required in the
initial 30 days of operations.
- Upon TRI-MEF, MARFORPAC/EUR concurrence,
recommendation is approved and the NAVMC 2907 is
tailored accordingly.
MPF-05 10
Tailoring Process, continued…
Tier I Tailoring (T1T):
– Required due to major changes in Load/Ship
configuration which effect AAO/ConOps
– Occurs every 36 months; completed 2 yrs prior to
New MMC.
– SqFt Apportionment: USMC, NSE, FH, NMCB
– Container Apportionment: USMC (Class I, III, IV, V,
VIII, IX), NSE, FH, NMCB
– Lead: HQMC (POE/LPO)/OPNAV(N75/N42);
– Support: LOGCOM, MARFOR, NBG, NMCB, FH
MPF-05 11
Tailoring Process, continued…
Tier II Tailoring (T2T):
– Required due to Major Class II/VII changes for
USMC, NSE, FH, NMCB as a result of changes in
T/O, T/E, and/or ConOps
– Occurs every 36 months; completed 1 yr prior to
New MMC
– Lead: HQMC (POE/LPO)/OPNAV(N75/N42);
– Support: MCCDC (TFS), MCSC (PMs), LOGCOM
(PWR), MARFOR (G3/G4), OPNAV(N75, N42,
N441, N931), NMCB, NBG, FH (PM)
– Does not affect T1T parameters (ie., Space
Apportionment)
MPF-05 12
Tailoring Process, continued…
Tier III Tailoring (T3T):
– Required due to Modernization (rotation,
modifications, new acquisitions, etc.,)
– Occurs every year; completed 6 months prior to
each MPSRON MMC
– Ability to tailor all classes of supply within set
parameters
– Leads: See next slide; Plus add specific Navy
Program managers (FH), NSE, and NMCB
– Support: POWG, MARFOR, NBG,
– Does not affect T1T or T2T parameters (ie.,
Space Apportionment and Class II/VII PO)
MPF-05 13
Tailoring Process, continued…
Prepositioning Responsibilities:
-HQMC LPO: Chairs Tailoring Conference
-MARFORs / MEFs: nominate MEB supplies and equipment to
be placed into the PO.
-Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFACENGCOM):
coordinates with Naval Beach Groups (NBG) for input of the NSE
portion of the PO, and provides the funding for the assets.
MPF-05 14
Prepositioning Responsibilities,
continued…
-Fleet Hospital Program Office: coordinates the FltHosp
portion of the PO.
-Marine Corps Combat Development Command (MCCDC):
develops requirements for new Marine Corps equipment
affecting the PO.
-MARCORSYSCOM: manages the acquisition of new
equipment.
MPF-05 15
Prepositioning Responsibilities,
continued…
-MARCORLOGCOM: accomplishes attainment, transfer,
materiel maintenance, embarkation, and management of
selected Marine Corps PO assets.
-Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIRSYSCOM):
provides Marine Aviation Support Equipment (SE) PO items.

Tailoring Process, continued…
By the conclusion of the Tailoring Process …
-All MARFORS and other agencies had an opportunity to review
and provide their Commander’s Guidance for requirements to the PO
and individual MPS loads.
-All discrepancies between MARFOR Commanders are reviewed
and adjudicated by HQMC.
-The optimum mixture of PEI’s and supplies are prepositioned
aboard the MPF Squadrons to best support a Marine Expeditionary
Brigade for the first 30 Days of operations.
