SUBJECT: Industrial Preparedness Program

References: (a) DoD Directive 4005.1, "DoD Industrial Preparedness
Production Planning," July 28, 1972 (hereby canceled)

(b) Executive Order 11490, "Assigning Emergency Preparedness
Functions to Federal Departments and Agencies," as amended,
June 11, 1976

This Directive reissues reference (a) to update policy, procedures, and responsibilities governing the planning of industrial resources for peacetime, surge, and mobilization production of essential military materiel, under the emergency preparedness functions assigned to the Secretary of Defense under section 401, paragraphs (5), (7), (9), (10), (11), (12), and (13) of reference (b), and the production readiness function as defined in reference (c).

This Directive applies to the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), the Military Departments, and the Defense Agencies (hereafter referred to collectively as "DoD Components"), the Organization of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Unified and Specified Commands and, by agreement with the Department of Transportation, the Maritime Administration (MARAD). The term "Military Services," as used herein, refers to the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, and the Marine Corps.

It is DoD policy to maintain a state of industrial preparedness by working with industry to produce, maintain, and repair materiel for meeting surge and mobilization requirements.

1. The Assistant Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Logistics (ASD (A&L)) shall maintain overall responsibility and oversight for the Industrial Preparedness Program and shall:

a. Develop production management policy to ensure rapid and coordinated production of systems, equipment, and products to meet mission requirements.

b. Establish policy for the DoD Industrial Preparedness Program to provide a sustained state of industrial preparedness to meet various military contingencies and to serve as DoD focal point for other Federal agency efforts related to the industrial base.

c. Develop policies and procedures in coordination with other Federal agencies for maintaining the readiness of Government-owned industrial property to meet mission requirements.

d. Develop and issue appropriate policy that defines the objectives under which the industrial base production capability is expected to respond and a timetable for DoD Component efforts to affect industrial responsiveness improvements.

e. Develop and issue policy, procedures, and defense guidance as a basis for planning, programing, and budgeting related to industrial base production responsiveness improvements.

f. Develop and issue policy directing Military Service and Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) production base analyses (PBA), including incorporating data from other Federal agencies (such as the Departments of Commerce, Labor, Transportation, and Energy, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)) to ensure a comprehensive analysis of the ability of the industrial base to respond to peacetime, surge, and mobilization production requirements. These analyses shall be used to prepare requisite DoD actions to eliminate bottlenecks and constraints that inhibit industrial responsiveness and preparedness and to determine priorities for optimal allocation of DoD resources.

8. Develop procedures to guide the allocation of available surge and mobilization industrial production capacity to avoid conflicts or overcommitment and to ensure coordinated planning with industry.

h. Provide oversight and guidance for, and perform integrated costbenefit and tradeoff analyses of, the following Industrial Preparedness Program categories to ensure effectiveness and balance:

(1) Acquisition and management of industrial resources (see DoD Directive 4275.5, reference (d)).

(2) Capital investment for the acquisition of new plants or equipment (see reference (d)).

(3) Industrial preparedness planning (see DoD Instruction 4005.3,

reference (e)).

(4) Manufacturing technology (MANTECH) (see DoD Instruction 4200.15,

reference (f)).

(5) Energy conservation and management in coordination with the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Force Management and Personnel) (ASD(FM&P)) (see DoD Directive 4170.10, reference (g)).

(6) Industrial preparedness measures (see DoD Instruction 4005.3,

reference (e)).

(7) Industrial energy preparedness measures (in coordination with the ASD (FM&P)).

(8) Operation of the Defense Industrial Plant Equipment Center (see DoD Directive 4275.5, reference (d)).

(9) The cost of industrial manpower performing planning for surge and mobilization production.

(10) The DoD Industrial Modernization Incentives Program (IMIP) (see Deputy Secretary of Defense Memorandum, reference (h)).

(11) Other categories, as appropriate.

i. Develop procedures for and administer the DoD priorities and allocations program in accordance with DoD Instruction 4400.1 (reference (i)).

j. Develop procedures for obtaining, reviewing, and disseminating information on the availability of materials required for the peacetime, surge, and mobilization production of military materiel in accordance with DoD Instruction 4210.4 and DoD Directive 4005.16 (references (1) and (k)).

k. Monitor industrial capacity and responsiveness, including the availability of transportation, energy, materials, and civilian manpower with critical skills, and assess the impact on production capability. Provide recommendations, as appropriate.

1. Initiate special exercises and studies, as appropriate, to examine the adequacy of industrial preparedness policies and procedures.

■. Establish, in conjunction with the Director, Program Analysis and Evaluation, criteria, policies, and procedures for use by the Military Departments and Defense Agencies for determining mobilization materiel requirements.

a. Establish criteria and policies, and review Military Service plans for meeting peacetime, surge, and wartime materiel maintenance requirements. 0. Obtain required variances or exemptions from environmental statutes and regulations that could impede severely operations essential to national defense.

2.

The Assistant Secretary of Defense for Force Management and Personnel (ASD (FM&P)) shall:

a. Provide policy guidance and review plans for the Department of Defense and DoD contractor work force expansion. Upon the request of the ASD (A&L), work with other Federal agencies, as appropriate, to ensure that the supply of civilian workers for essential defense industry during a national emergency is adequate.

b. Institute a rapid means for the Department of Defense and defense contractors to obtain issuance or renewal of waivers, tolerances, and exemptions essential to national defense under Section 16, Pub. L. 91-596 (reference (1)). Obtain, upon the request of ASD(A&L), waivers, tolerances, or exemptions, when required, to remove impediments to surge and mobilization activities.

3.

The Director, Joint Staff, shall advise the Joint Chiefs of Staff on the status of industrial mobilization capabilities and its impact on the Military Services' ability to implement operations plans.

4. The Heads of DoD Components shall:

a. Maintain cognizance of mobilization day (M-day) and beyond manpower, transportation, equipment, materiel, and facility requirements, and shall identify shortfalls, including diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages (see DoD Directive 4005.16, reference (k)), and propose remedial actions.

b. Conduct industrial preparedness planning to ensure industrial resources are available and capable of satisfying surge and mobilization requirements in accordance with this Directive, DoD Instruction 4005.3, and DoD 4005.3-M (references (e) and (m)).

c. Ensure industrial base issues are considered early in the acquisition process for new weapons systems, in accordance with DoD Directive 5000.1 (reference (n)).

d. Provide such information as required by the ASD(A&L) or the ASD (FM&P), or both, to assist in carrying out their responsibilities described under subsections E.1. and E.2., above.

e. Ensure critical industrial preparedness planning items are considered as related to possible industrial base impact resulting from bilateral or multinational memoranda of understanding and offset or co-production agreements.

f. Integrate industrial preparedness planning effectively with production management of defense systems under DoD Directive 4245.6 (reference (o)).
