Chapter 1

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

1.1 PURPOSE.

This technical order (TO) provides logistics guidance and step-by-step procedures for all Department of the Air Force (DAF) medical logistics activities.

1.2 APPLICABILITY AND AUTHORITY.

1.2.1 Applicability. This TO supports AF readiness operations and Air Force Working Capital

Fund/Medical-Dental Division (AFWCF/MDD) servers. Compliance is mandatory.

1.2.2 Authority. This TO derives its authority from AF Medical Logistics policy and doctrine therein:

1.2.2.1 Air Force Manual (AFMAN) 41-209, Medical Logistics Support.

1.2.2.2 Air Force Instruction (AFI) 41-201, Managing Clinical Engineering Programs.

1.2.2.3 Air Force Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (AFTTP) 3-42.8, Expeditionary Medical Logistics

(EML) System.

1.2.3 Defense Health Agency (DHA) Policy. As of this TO’s publishing date, the document has accommodated current DHA policy.

1.3 SCOPE.

This TO provides task standardization, delivering a uniform set of instructions to optimize all Medical

Logistics platforms.

1.3.1 Full Spectrum Military Operations. Medical Logistics provides materiel, equipment, services, and information to the Air Force (AF) medical mission. This TO’s purpose is to successfully sustain medical logistics through the full spectrum of military operations.

1.3.2 Operational Medical Logistics. To achieve “Full Spectrum Readiness,” Operational Medical

Logistics combines effective business principles and supply chain modeling to support both readiness and beneficiary care. This TO presents those principles in the form of task standardization.

1.3.3 Consolidated Storage and Deployment Center (CSDC). CSDCs are large-scale medical logistics flights that support War Reserve Materiel (WRM) and crisis response MEDLOG forces for Air Force

Medical Service (AFMS) operational readiness platforms and regions. CSDCs have unique missions ranging from industrial operations, theater lead agent medical materiel (TLAMM), as well as DHA Military

Treatment Facility (MTF) healthcare support. This guidance provides standardized business processes and optimized structure for medical supply and equipment maintenance operations ensuring proficiency, both in-garrison and deployed, for MEDLOG personnel.

1.4 MEDICAL STOCK RECORD ACCOUNTS.

The AF Stock Record Account Number (SRAN) is the Department of Defense (DoD) Activity Address

Code (DoDAAC). The AF base medical SRAN consists of the prefix ‘FM’ followed by a serial number

(e.g., FM2050). Place the SRAN, in addition to document numbers, on all accountable documents.

1.4.1 Account Activation. Forward the request for establishment of a new SRAN through command channels to Air Force Medical Agency/ Medical Logistics Directorate (AFMED/SG4) for approval IAW

AFMAN 41-209, Medical Logistics Support.
