The Product Manager, formerly known as Combat Support Equipment, Marine Corps Systems Command (PdM CSE, MARCORSYSCOM) initiated the Class VIII Enterprise Management project to:

• Promote enhanced and sustained ready-to-issue posture of Class VIII materiel;
• Reduce the logistics burden on the Operating Forces in garrison;
• Provide enterprise-wide visibility and accountability;
• Maintain shelf life standards and reduce losses from expiry; and,
• Reduce overall procurement, replenishment and replacement costs

The way forward for Class VIII Enterprise Management will establish centralized management for Clas VIII equipment and supplies with a single enterprise-wide acquisition objective, and move appropriate and specific garrison supply chain functions to DLA.

The program is responsible for the development, modernization and fielding of medical systems for Level I and II care to support forward deployed Marine Corps Forces. This care includes:

• 27 Authorized Medical/Dental Allowance Lists (AMALs/ADALs) designed to rapidly deploy and establish field medical treatment facilities; and,
• 3 Medical Kits (Individual First Aid Kits (IFAK), Corpsman Assault Packs (CAP), and Combat Lifesaver Kits (CLS))
