UNIFORM MATERIAL MOVEMENT AND ISSUE PRIORITY SYSTEM Uniform Material Movement and Issue Priority System (UMMIPS) is a vital and integral part of the MILSTRIP system. MILSTRIP provides forms and procedures for requisitioning material. UMMIPS sets priorities for the issuance and movement of material. Each activity that requests resources for logistics systems, such as transportation, would like for its request to take top priority. However, requests must be processed according to the military importance of the activity and the urgency of the need. Each activity indicates this priority information by a force/activity designator (F/AD) and an urgency of need designator (UND). These designators determine the priority designator (PD) assigned to the requisition. Force/Activity Designator A F/AD is a Roman numeral (I-V) that identifies and categorizes a force or activity on the basis of its military importance (fig. 7-14). NAVSUP P-485 outlines the assignment of F/ADs. Urgency of Need Designator The UND is a letter (A, B, or C) that indicates the relative urgency of a force’s or activity’s need for a required item of material. The force or activity requiring the material assigns the UND. The basic definitions for the urgency of need designator are as follows: Priority Designator The PD is a two-digit number (01, the highest, to 15, the lowest). The PD is determined by using the table of priority designators (fig. 7-14). The table is easy to use. For example, if your activity is assigned an F/AD of II and your requirement is of a routine nature, the priority to be assigned would be 12. 7-16 Q7.

UND DEFINITION A 1.   Requirement is immediate. 2.   Without  the  material  needed,  the activity is unable to perform one or more of its primary missions. 3.   The condition noted in definition 2 has  been  reported  by  established casualty   reporting   (CASREP) procedures (explained later). B 1.   Requirement   is   immediate   or known   to   be   required   in   the immediate future. 2.   The activity’s ability to perform one or more of its primary missions will be  impaired  until  the  material  is received. C 1.   Requirement is routine.
