This regulation assigns responsibilities and prescribes policies for the Army’s type classification, materiel release, materiel fielding, and materiel transfer processes. The TC process ensures the materiel is acceptable for Army use prior to spending of procurement funds at the full rate production decision review. The MR process assures that Army materiel is safe, suitable, and supportable. The materiel fielding and transfer processes assure the orderly and effective deployment and transfer of Army equipment, including all necessary logistics support requirements.
