In addition to providing standardized criteria for assigning priorities, UMMIPS provides acceptable maximum processing times for use by supply activities in furnishing material. NAVSUP P-485 contains the processing time standards and additional codes used in MILSTRIP and UMMIPS. CASUALTY REPORTING The casualty report (CASREP) is designed to support the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) and fleet commanders in the management of assigned forces. The effective use and support of Navy forces requires an up-to-date, accurate operational status for each unit. An important part of operational status is casualty information. The CASREP system contains four types of reports: initial, update, correct, and cancel. These reports are described in general in the following paragraphs. CASREPs are not a substitute for, but are in addition to and complement, 3-M data. For more complete  information  on  the  preparation  and submission of CASREPs, see  Operational Reports, NWP 10-1-10. Initial Casualty Report (INITIAL) An INITIAL CASREP identifies the status of the casualty  and  any  parts  or  assistance  needed. Operational and staff authorities use this information to set priorities for the use of resources. Update Casualty Report (UPDATE) A unit uses an UPDATE CASREP to submit changes to previously submitted information. Correction Casualty Report (CORRECT) A unit submits a CORRECT CASREP when equipment that has been the subject of casualty reporting  is  repaired  and  is  back  in  operational condition. Cancellation Casualty Report (CANCEL) A  unit  submits  a  CANCEL  CASREP  when equipment that has been the subject of casualty reporting  is  scheduled  to  be  repaired  during  an overhaul  or  some  other  scheduled  availability. Outstanding casualties that will not be repaired during such availability will not be canceled and will be subject  to  normal  follow-up  casualty  reporting procedures as specified. MANDATORY TURN-IN REPAIRABLES You will, no doubt, encounter the terms mandatory turn-ins  and  repairables  in the process of obtaining replacement parts from supply. Therefore, you need to understand  your  responsibilities  in  regard  to mandatory turn-in repairable items (MTR). When any of your equipment fails, your primary concern is to locate the trouble, correct it, and get the equipment back on the line. In most instances, you first trace the trouble to a defective part and then prepare a NAVSUP Form 1250-1 (or DD Form 1348) to obtain the replacement part from the supply storeroom. Next, you install the replacement part and throw away the defective part. However, when the defective part is expensive and repairable, it becomes a part of the repairables program. A large number of parts can be economically repaired when they fail. This results in savings of dollars and time. Repairing an item is quicker and cheaper than contracting for and buying a new one—provided the old item is promptly returned in repairable condition. For the program to work as intended, you and others have certain responsibilities. At the time you submit your request for a mandatory turn-in item, supply will tell you to return the defective item. Your responsibilities begin at this point. You must remove the defective part and give it adequate protection to prevent further damage before turning it in to supply. The most effective way to protect the defective part is to place it in the same container in which you received the replacement part. The defective part or equipment must be accompanied with a copy of the OPNAV 4790/2K, Work Request form describing the failure of 7-17 Q10.
