Demilitarization (DEMIL) Coding Management Office (DCMO) | ||
|
As
a result of chronic problems in DOD due to inaccurate DEMIL codes (property
seizures, Inspector General and General Accounting Office audits documenting
the release of sensitive technologies and/or saleable Government property
being needlessly destroyed) DLA established the DCMO in November, 1998.
The DCMO is currently reviewing DEMIL Codes on new items and FSC transfers.
The office’s dedicated effort to ensure top quality DEMIL coding is
resulting in improved national security and a reduction in the overall
cost of operating the DEMIL program. |
|||
The
office is pulling extracts of critical and non-critical items for new
items, item transfers and for the active inventory items. These items
undergo technical review and validation of DEMIL Codes. The DCMO recommends
and makes changes (in accordance with Memorandums Of Agreement (MOAs) ) where appropriate. |
||||
Additional
coding reviews are performed for DLA, Trade Security Controls Office, and
the HQ DLA DEMIL Office. DCMO personnel have made on-site visits to assist
Defense Criminal Investigative Service (DCIS) and Plant Clearance Officers
(PCO) in identifying items of supply that require demilitarization. Technical
Assistance Visits can be arranged to customer sites. |
||||
As a result of the successes between the DCMO and the DLA
Inventory Control Points (ICPs), MOAs have been signed for DLA ICPs,
permitting DLIS to perform maintenance updates to change the DEMIL and
CIIC codes for items under DLA ICP management. The agreements permit DLIS
to input codes directly to the Federal Logistics Information System (FLIS).
Similar MOAs are being established with Civil Agencies, such as the U.S.
Postal Service, Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) and U.S. Coast Guard. |

The
Daisy Challenge Program, previously resident under the Defense Reutilization
Marketing Service (DRMS) has transitioned to the DCMO. This program offers
various organizations including the Defense Reutilization & Marketing
Offices, Recycling Control Points, Trade Securities, and HQ DRMS a final
opportunity to submit DEMIL challenges against material awaiting disposal.
The DCMO program is intended to prevent our war fighters from facing our
own military technology in a combat situation. The program also saves
government funds by preventing the unnecessary destruction of non-sensitive
items. |
