To provide an orientation of the Planning Data Branch (PDB):Who we areWhat we do Who we supportPurpose

Mission & AuthorityArmy Regulation 700-8 (Mar 2011) “Logistics Planning Factors and Data Management”1- 1. PurposeThis regulation provides policy and assigns responsibilities for managing, collecting, developing, maintaining, validating, and disseminating Army logistics data and planning factors for use in Total Army Analysis (TAA); Operations Logistics Planner (OPLOG Planner); Logistics Factors File (LFF); and other Army, Joint, and Department of Defense (DOD) logistical processes.2-2. PolicyCentral management of the collection and dissemination of logistics planning data is performed under the auspices of the DCS, G–4 (DALO–SIF). The Commander, CASCOM (ATCL–CDF–MP) is responsible for collecting, developing, maintaining, validating, storing, and disseminating logistics planning factors. The Commander, CASCOM (ATCL–CDF–MP) will provide this information to authorized users.

Logistics Planning FactorsWhat are they? Consumption estimates developed for classes of supply I-IX, water, ice, and mail. Two basic categories of factors:Population based (variable single point estimate by time/phase): Class I, II, IV, VI, VIII, Water, Mail and IceFactors expressed as lbs/person/day (PPD), lbs/admission or gals/person/dayClass I (lbs ) = Number of Days * Class I Factor (PPD)* Population QtyEquipment based (variable set of factors based on operation/phase): Class III, V, VII and IXFactors expressed as lbs/LIN/day or gals/LIN/( Hr or KM) Class III (gals) = Number of Days * Fuel Burn rate (gal/LIN/ hr ) x Equipment Usage Profile ( hrs /day) x FMC x Equipment Qty Class IX ( lbs ) = Number of Days * Class IX Factor ( lbs /LIN/day) x FMC x Equipment Qty 3

CLASS IClass of SupplySubsistence (Food - Rations), plus health and comfort items

CLASS IIClass of SupplyGeneral Supplies: Clothing, individual equipment, tentage, organizational tool sets and kits, hand tools, unclassified maps, administrative and housekeeping supplies and equipment

CLASS III(B)Class of SupplyBulk: Fuel

CLASS III(P)Class of SupplyPetroleum, Oil and Lubricants (POL) (package): Petroleum, lubricants, hydraulic and insulating oils, preservatives, liquids and gases, bulk chemical products, coolants, deicer and antifreeze compounds, components, and additives of petroleum and chemical products, and coal.

CLASS IVClass of SupplyConstruction materials, including installed equipment and all fortification and barrier materials.

CLASS VClass of SupplyAmmunition of all types, bombs, explosives, mines, fuses, detonators, pyrotechnics, missiles, rockets, propellants, and associated items.

CLASS VIClass of SupplyPersonal demand items (such as health and hygiene products, soaps and toothpaste, writing material, snack food, beverages, cigarettes, batteries, alcohol, and cameras—nonmilitary sales items)

CLASS VIIClass of SupplyMajor end items such as launchers, tanks, mobile machine shops, and vehicles

CLASS VIIIClass of SupplyMedical material (equipment and consumables) including repair parts peculiar to medical equipment. Class VIIIa – Medical consumable supplies not including blood & blood products; Class VIIIb – Blood & blood components (whole blood, platelets, plasma, packed red cells, etc.)

CLASS IXClass of SupplyRepair parts and components to include kits, assemblies, and subassemblies) (repairable or non-repairable required for maintenance support of all equipment

PDB Developed Tools

Developed around 1994 to replace FM 101-10-1/2 manuals; redesigned in 2010OPLOG is a simple to use tool used for calculating estimations of supply requirements for a given unit or force for a specified operation.Taught in ALU – T_LOG, Liquid Log NCOs.All Data is HQ DA G4 Approved Planning Data.Contains All Approved TOE Force Structures for the year prior to publication date, updated annually.Scenario parameters include Joint Phases, Military Operations, climate, includes EUP. Stand alone Unclassified (NOFORN) tool with no active connections to other ProgramsContains User Friendly InterfacesAddresses each class of supply. Reports can be printed in MS Word or exported to MS Excel.OPLOG Planner: Background and Overview https://www.us.army.mil/suite/files/38799138Usarmy.lee.tradoc.mbx.oplog@mail.mil

Planning Data Branch has several additional MS Excel based estimation tools to assist logistics planners throughout the Army posted to AKO at:https://www.us.army.mil/suite/files/39242771Platform Calculator: Provides an estimate of how many pallets and specific vehicles are needed to carry a given quantity of supplies. Results shown by COS and total. Quick Logistics Estimation Tool: Provides estimated requirements for one or multiple SRCs for each COS, using min-avg-max.Food and Water Tool: Very specific tool that focuses on developing different meal plans for specific populations. Class III Bulk Estimation Tool: Newly developed tool that allows the user to develop Class III(B) estimates, at the LIN level, by varying the usage profile.Convoy Planning Tool: Newly developed tool that estimates the time a convoy will take based on factors such as distance, speed, and number of vehicles in the convoy.Other Estimation Tools
