1. ISC – MMIII SUSTAINMENT SUPPORT SCOPE
a. MMIII Sustainment Branch Description
The MMIII Sustainment Branch ties together the components of the WBS (Propulsion, Guidance, RS/RV, Ground Mechanical, Ground Electrical, and IIE) and Field Support to best sustain product delivery.
b. Branch Structure
The branch falls under the MMIII SPO. It consists of seven sections, each of which includes an
Integrated Product Team (IPT).
The IPTs serve a critical role as integrators between the sections and are organized around Work
Breakdown Structure (WBS) products. They aim to provide a stable approach to problem solving across the weapon system.
Leadership
Section Chiefs serve as IPT Leads for their respective IPTs. They are responsible for product-level priority within their IPTs. They meet with branch leadership regularly to provide their priority recommendations.
Leadership from the three branches in the MMIII SPO are responsible for establishing system-level priorities and articulating branch perspectives while working together to balance system-level requirements. They review, deconflict and prioritize the IPTs’ recommendations.
IPT authority resides with the Sustainment Branch Chief; however, the Branch Chief can choose to delegate their authority to another IPT leader.
IPT Assignments:
Generally, IPT members are assigned as follows:
Sustainment Branch personnel are members of their Section’s IPT.
Acquisition Branch personnel are members of the IPT(s) associated with the content of their acquisition program.
Integration Branch personnel participate in IPT(s) per the IPTs’ need for the high-demand, low-density services provided by the Integration Branch (e.g. Test, Nuclear
Surety, Hardness, etc.).
IPT Leadership holds authority to acquire, release, and/or share assigned members based on organizational priorities.
Horizontal Sharing (e.g. IPT to IPT): assignment may be reallocated due to ad-hoc needs
Vertical Sharing (Branch to Branch within an IPT): Case-by-case personnel reallocation across Branches to align with Branch Leadership’s highest priorities
If personnel are assigned to multiple IPTs, their time is aligned with priorities set by
Division Leadership.
