204.1 System components and component parts

204.1.1 Explain the basic responsibilities of the SSC. - Also referred to as the aviation support division (ASD), is the single point of contact where material control centers of O- and I-level maintenance activities place requirements for material and equipment required for support of weapons systems maintenance. The SSC/ASD is composed of two sections, the supply response section (SRS), and the component control section (CCS). The SSC is responsible for responding to requisitions for parts in the following time period.

Priority .............. Processing Time
I .............. 1 hour
II .............. 2 hours
III .............. 24 hours

204.1.2 State the basic responsibilities of SRS and CCS.

a. SRS - The single point of contact for processing customer requirements and providing follow ups and status as required. The SRS is divided into 6 units: requisition control unit (RCU), technical research unit (TRU), stock locator unit (SLU), material delivery unit (MDU), pre-expended bin (PEB) unit, and the program management unit (PMU).

b. CCS - Also known as the repairable management section (RMS), is responsible for the management and accounting of all repairable assets stored in the LRCA storage areas as well as items in the IMA repair cycle. This section is divided in to four units: the DCU, the LRCA, storage unit, the SSU, and the AWP unit.

204.1.3 Discuss the basic responsibilities of the RAM unit. - The RAM unit maintains custody of high-cost, or pilferable, Aviation Depot Level Repairables (AVDLRS) that are ordered by the individual IMA work centers. The AVDLRs are issued only upon immediate receipt of a turn component.

204.1.4 State the purpose of the Aviation Consolidated Allowance List (AVCAL) - The AVCAL is a listing of all repair parts, both repairable and consumable, that are deemed necessary for supporting the maintenance needs of the assigned airwing and IMA. Based on historical data from other battle group deployments, the AVCAL, in theory, should be of sufficient �width� (the correct types of items stocked) and �depth� (the correct quantity of these items) to allow a battle group to complete an extended deployment with minimal NMCS and PMCS time.
