5.10 SYSTEM ENGINEERING/PROGRAM MANAGEMENT
5.101 PROJECT MANAGEMENT ADMINISTRATION (PM CIV)
This element includes the O&M-funded costs of the PM's office (not funded by the RDT&E, or procurement) for system engineering and technical control, as well as the business management of the system/program. It encompasses the overall planning, direction, and control of the definition, development, and production of the system/program, including functions of logistics engineering and ILS management, e.g., maintenance support, facilities, personnel, training, testing, and activation of a system. Also included are any PM office O&M-funded costs to manage and administer environmental efforts, e.g., PM environmental management team, and compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Aerospace Standard (NAS) 411 for pollution prevention plans.
5.102 OTHER
This element includes the costs of any other O&M-funded costs for system engineering and technical control, as well as the business management of the system/program. It encompasses the overall planning, direction, and control of the definition, development, and production of the system/program, including functions of logistics engineering and ILS management, e.g., maintenance support, facilities, personnel, training, testing, and activation of a system.
5.11 TRAINING
This element includes the O&M-funded costs of system-specific, individual training for replacement personnel. The training can include a specific course taught in a TRADOC school and/or transition training for qualifying the replacement personnel.

It excludes the MP costs associated with the instructors and students, and the procurement costs for training ammunition/ missiles.
5.12 OTHER O&M
This element includes any O&M-funded costs not included in the previous elements. Costs must be system specific and clearly identified. They may include supplies, direct support operations, indirect support, environmental efforts (pollution prevention, compliance, remediation, and restoration), and quarters, maintenance, and utilities (QMU) that are not included above. In the event that any R&D or production efforts are O&M-funded costs and are not captured above, they should be separately identified under this cost element.
6.0 ARMY WORKING CAPITAL FUND (AWCF) ELEMENT
6.01 AWCF CLASS IX WAR RESERVES
This element includes the costs of Class IX war reserve components, assemblies, and subassemblies determined to be combat-critical for maintaining and sustaining combat operations of the materiel system until re-supply can be accomplished, which are procured with Supply Maintenance, Army operating cost authority and held to satisfy the War Reserve Materiel Requirements.
