Army National Guard & Reserve Equipment Appropriation (NGREA 101)
Authority/Intent of NGREA NGREA is a special Defense Appropriation (procurement) that complements each Reserve Component s base appropriation. NGREA is not programmed in the PPBES. Intended to procure critical shortfall and modernization items of equipment/systems that the base appropriation is not able to fund Must comply with Appropriation Language Equipment/systems must have sustainment funding or sustainment plan Not intended for Operational Needs Statement (ONS, JUONS) Must have a validated requirement Must comply with DoD Financial Management Regulations Funds: - Complete Systems/End Items - New Equipment Training Costs - Program Management Costs - Transportation/Shipping Costs - Fielding Costs - Initial Spares and Initial Sustainment 5
Business Practices Must adhere to DoD obligation rate targets (80/90/100%) Must achieve 80% Obligated by 30 Sep (First year of appropriation) Even if the appropriation arrives LATER in the FY. After requirements are established/validated a procurability determination is made Current contract executed from Program Executive Office/Program Management Office or NGB Acquisition Center Procurement Priorities: Should have a Line Item Number (LIN) (Standard or Non-developmental) 6

Competing obligation efforts in the same timeframe will impact the ability to obligate Relevance: Projected obligation rates on 30 Sep 2014 - ANG projection rates range from 25% to 30%; ARNG is projecting a 70-80% obligation rate ENDSTATE: Receipt of the funds close to the end of the fiscal year only affords a small window of time to obligate rather than continuing to focus on expiring funds Obligation efforts must continue with the receiving entities and program offices to obligate - the closer to 30 Sep the funds are received, the less likely the projected obligation percentages will be attained 7

Portfolio Defined Sustainment (Transportation): Comprised of Tactical Wheeled Vehicles (TWV), Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) Vehicles. Future Army forces require the capability to conduct distribution of personnel, equipment, and supplies with platforms that have greater protection, use more efficient types of power, have greater reliability and availability with less specialized maintenance, and are interoperable with joint, interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational partners to support distributed operations. T W V Light Tactical Vehicle (LTV) Payload < 2.5 Tons Medium Tactical Vehicle (MTV) Payload=2.5 to 10 Tons Heavy Tactical Vehicle (HTV) Payloads > 10 Tons Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) Definition Multi-purpose platform that provides light tactical protected mobility. Transportable systems, supporting payloads up to 2.5 tons, employed as command and control, special purpose shelter carriers, and special purpose weapons which provide mobility, protection, sustainment and networking capabilities on and off-road. Multi-purpose platform that provides medium tactical protected mobility. Rapidly deployable systems supporting payloads from 2.5-ton to 10-ton capacity that perform local and line haul, unit mobility, unit resupply on primary and secondary roads, trails and cross-country terrain, in all climactic conditions. Multi-purpose platform that provides heavy tactical protected mobility. Heavy systems employed to support Combat Forces, Combat Support and Combat Service Support units in transporting high tonnages of supplies and fuel, and recovering and evacuating combat-loaded main battle tanks and other heavy tracked and wheeled vehicles to and from the battlefield. Multiple mission role protected mobility for 5 11 personnel and mission equipment. Enables freedom of maneuver and ability to operate effectively in complex asymmetric threat environment.
