The VIPER Program External SOP is an extension of INSCOM Regulation 700-33, The Virtual Intelligence Projection Equipment Reserve (VIPER) Program, providing further program definition and specific procedures necessary for applicable organizations to request and receive VIPER Program Support.

The VIPER Program SOP encompasses the procedures necessary for applicable users to acquire equipment from the Mission Stock Record Account (MSRA) Warehouse and Quick Reaction Capability (QRC) Mission support as established in INSCOM Regulation 700-33.

This regulation applies to HQ INSCOM staff elements, subordinate units, contractors, and any organization requesting VIPER Program support.

INSCOM Regulation 700-33 established the VIPER Program Office to manage the execution of this SOP and the VIPER Program at large. The VIPER Program Office is under the direction of the Maintenance Division. The Maintenance Division is an operating element of the United States Army Intelligence and Security Command (USAINSCOM), Assistant Chief of Staff (ACofS), G4, headquartered at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.

The VIPER Program is dedicated to rapidly responding to QRC mission needs. To facilitate a rapid, yet managed, response time to QRC requirements, VIPER has implemented a process in which individuals assigned to intelligence organizations can receive immediate VIPER Program support through a simple e-mail request. In Accordance With (IAW) INSCOM Regulation 700-33 each intelligence organization that wants to participate in the VIPER Program must be designated in writing as an authorized Sponsor by the ACofS, G3. Upon designation by the ACofS, G3, the Sponsor holds the authority to approve VIPER Program support as it relates to their organization. Sponsors have full authority to exercise the capabilities and services of the VIPER Program with the exception of those responsibilities reserved for the ACofS, G3 and ACofS, G4 in INSCOM Reg 700-33 paragraph 1-4. Chapter 3 of this SOP provides detailed instructions for obtaining Sponsor status.

The MSRA Warehouse is just one of the sources that can be utilized to satisfy equipment requirements. Only equipment acquired IAW Chapter 4 will be VIPER owned equipment and managed in the MSRA Warehouse. However, under the virtual warehouse concept any equipment can be acquired on a temporary basis to accomplish a QRC mission. The VIPER Program Manager will, upon receipt of a validated VIPER support request; directly coordinate with subordinate units, contractors holding GFE, other DA and DOD agencies, or any other source identified by the requester, to utilize that organization’s assets.

This validation process is required whenever new equipment is to be added to the MSRA Warehouse, equipment will be permanently removed from the program either through turn in or transfer or purchase of equipment for the program is warranted. Throughout the remainder of this SOP, the process is referred to as the G3/G4 memorandum (see Annex A, Sample ACofS, G3/G4 Memorandum).

VIPER owned equipment is simply that equipment that has been approved for addition to the program by an ACofS, G3/G4 memorandum and is managed by VIPER. VIPER Program equipment refers to any equipment that has been issued on a consolidated hand receipt through the VIPER Program.

The VIPER Program is not funded and therefore must rely upon users of the program to provide funds for each request. To facilitate the exchange of funds, VIPER has a line within the ACofS, G4 budget and can receive CCP and BA1 program funds. Other program funds can be utilized but will be approved on a case by case basis. In all instances, the VIPER PM is responsible for coordination with the Sponsors at the time of their request to ensure that adequate resources are available. The VIPER PM will provide directions for the transfer of funds to support the request. In addition, the VIPER PM will provide budget input to Sponsors to defray the cost of supporting VIPER owned equipment in the MSRA Warehouse.

The VIPER PM will provide the ACofS, G3 a listing of VIPER owned equipment every six months. The list will include recommendations for equipment disposition. The ACofS, G3 is responsible for reviewing the list and validating the requirement to continue maintaining the equipment, concur/nonconcur with recommendations from the Project Manager (PM), and/or make additional recommendations.

The recipient of VIPER Program equipment, whether the equipment is VIPER owned or borrowed, will be required to sign a hand receipt or sub-hand receipt document assuming property accountability. This may be a DA form 2062 (sub hand receipt) (See Annex D, Example DA 2062), DA form 3161 (temporary hand receipt) (See Annex E, Example DA 3161), or an ALV-151/153 (automated hand receipt). The type of hand receipt that will be used will be at the discretion of the VIPER Property Book Officer (PBO). Per Army regulation, there is no limitation as to the number of times equipment can be sub-hand receipt. However, the individual who holds the hand receipt directly from the VIPER PBO will be responsible for tracking and returning the equipment to the VIPER Program. The person that holds the hand receipt directly from the PBO is referred to as the Primary Hand Receipt Holder (PHRH). The PHRH must be appointed in writing (see Annex D, Primary Hand Receipt Holder Memorandum) by the commander having command responsibility over them IAW DA PAM 710-2-1 paragraph 5.3. A copy of the signed memorandum must be forwarded to the VIPER PBO.

All Primary Hand Receipt Holders will be appointed in writing (see Annex D, Primary Hand Receipt Holder Memorandum) giving them the authority to be a Primary Hand Receipt Holder. The PHRH will be assigned by their commander IAW DA PAM 710-2-1 paragraph 5-3 which states "The commander having command responsibility appoints primary hand receipt holders (PHRHs)." This memorandum will be obtained by using the following procedures.

a. The unit will completely fill out the memorandum and the PHRH’s Commander will sign the memorandum. The hand receipt number will be obtained from the VIPER PBO.

b. The unit will return a copy of the signed memorandum to the PBO.

c. If there are any problems in getting the memorandum, or if there is a problem with the memorandum, the PBO will deal with the individual or the unit to resolve.

When picking up equipment from the MSRA (See Annex G, Directions to MSRA), equipment will be issued by the PBO on a hand receipt. Per paragraph 6-1 above, this individual will be responsible for tracking and returning the equipment to the VIPER Program. Paragraph 6-5 below provides for interim accountability when equipment is being accounted for while being delivered to its ultimate location.

a. The following documents should be enclosed as part of the shipping documentation when receiving equipment:

(1) Shipping Document – DD Form 1149 (2 copies)

(2) Hand receipt Document – DA Form 3161 or DA Form 2062 (2 copies)

b. Upon receipt of the equipment, the receiving organization will take the following actions:

(1) Inspect and inventory received package. If discrepancies are found, refer to AR 735-5 Chapter 6 for instructions and notify the VIPER PM.

(2) Sign both copies of the hand receipt and one copy of DD-1149.

(3) Fax signed copies of Hand Receipt and shipping document to the PBO at 703-806-6243 (DSN 656).

(4) Verify faxed copies were received by PBO.

(5) Mail the original documentation to the PBO. The address is:

Commander USAINSCOM

ATTN: IALO-SS-PB (Ms. Moyer)

8825 Beulah Street

Fort Belvoir, VA 22060-5246

c. A memorandum needs to be given to the PBO in order to become a PHRH for VIPER. The

When equipment is sub-hand receipted to an individual for the purpose of accountability during deployment or delivery, a DA form 2062 will be used (See Annex D, Example DA 2062).

It may be necessary to meet mission requirements, to acquire equipment for the VIPER Program in a Theater of Operation. In this instance, the procedures provided in chapters 2 and 3 for the acquisition and addition of VIPER equipment applies. However, the issue procedures described above may not. Under these conditions, the following equipment issue procedure will apply:

a. The Sponsor will prepare the necessary acquisition and addition documentation. (See paragraph 4-2 for more information)

b. A copy of all documentation assembled during acquisition of the equipment will be provided to the VIPER PM.

c. The VIPER PBO will either update the sub-hand receipt holders hand receipt reflecting the new equipment or generate a new hand receipt. Coordination between the PBO and hand receipt holder will determine a means of acquiring the proper signature on the documentation needed.

Army regulation prescribes that equipment utilized by contractors be provided to the contractor as Government Furnished Property (GFE), therefore prohibiting contractors from signing for DOD property on a sub-hand receipt. However, Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) do provide relief for organizations that employee contractors to perform duties traditionally reserved for soldiers or government civilians. Specifically, contracts must contain reference to the appropriate FAR and Clause to allow sub-hand receipting under the provisions of AR 735-5 and DA Pam 710-2-1. Organizations that require sub-hand receipting of VIPER equipment to contractors should contact the VIPER PM for assistance in resolving the documentation needed.

Requests for extension only apply when specific return dates are provided at the time of equipment issue or deployment. Because projected equipment availability for other projects will be based upon this date, request should be made at least 30 days from the specified return date. Sponsors need not request extensions for VIPER owned equipment for which they are the approving authority. Sponsors will be provided an e-mail indicating that the equipment required date will be extended if a specified return date was provided at time of issue. Sponsors will request extensions for equipment on loan from other organizations through the VIPER PM.

a. Send an e-mail to the VIPER PM requesting the extension - provide the following information:

(1) Organization.

(2) Equipment or system.

(3) Duration of extension requested.

(4) Reason for extension.

b. Extension request for VIPER owned equipment will be forwarded to the appropriate Sponsor for approval.

c. The VIPER PM will obtain and issue approval for extension of equipment on loan from other organizations.

d. When extensions are approved, the user will conduct a 100% inventory of the equipment or system and provide a copy of the inventory to the VIPER PM.

Top of Page

If equipment in the possession of an organization becomes damaged beyond use through accident, or is lost or stolen, the VIPER PM will be notified immediately. If equipment is lost or damaged through perceived negligence, the using unit will be issued a document number by the VIPER PBO. The using unit will initiate the report of survey IAW AR 735-5 paragraph 13-4/13-6 and process through unit’s report of survey chain. A copy of the Report of Survey will be forwarded to the VIPER PBO. The Report of Survey is the authorization document to correct the PHR.

If lost equipment is a sensitive item, then an AR 15-6 action will be conducted per AR 735-5, chapter 13, paragraph 13-2a(6).

The INSCOM managed GENESIS contract provides the VIPER Program with its primary means of maintenance support through the utilization of existing TROJAN Intermediate Support Activities (TRISA) as well as contractor engineers and technicians located at various INSCOM facilities throughout the world. However, support is not limited to this support concept. When the requirement is for other than TRISA support or a hybrid of TRISA and other support options, specific procedures will be documented by the VIPER Program and provided as part of the system or equipment accountability documentation.

10-2 TRISA Support

When it is established that TRISA is the primary support provider for VIPER equipment, a copy of the TROJAN External Standing Operating Procedure (TESOP) will be provided with the deploying system and/or equipment. The specific TRISA will be determined at the time of deployment and will be based on requirements and theater of operation.

When TRISA is not the primary support for VIPER Program equipment, support procedures relevant to the equipment issued will be a part of the documentation package provided to the user at the time of delivery. These procedures will contain the following minimum information:

a. Organization responsibilities.

b. Level of maintenance authorized at organization level.

c. Points of contact for direct support.

d. PMCS requirements.

e. Maintenance requirements when returning equipment to VIPER.

Support costs are the responsibility of the equipment Sponsor. Requirement for up front funding or cost reimbursement will be determined prior to system or equipment deployment or issue. When practical, annual support cost will be estimated and provided to VIPER negating the need for financial transactions on each support action. This philosophy would apply primarily to organizations such as MASINT, where VIPER is providing basically a property accountability function.

The VIPER Program maintains overall maintenance responsibility for VIPER Program equipment. Issues relating to the inability to obtain adequate support will be reported to:
