Top of Page Page 4 of 35 29 33 The VIPER External Standing Operating Procedures Chapter 1 Introduction 1-2 Purpose 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. 1-2 Scope 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. 1-3 Applicability This regulation applies to HQ INSCOM staff elements, subordinate units, contractors, and any organization requesting VIPER Program support. 1-4 Responsibilities 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. 1-5 Sponsors 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 70033 paragraph 1-4. Chapter 3 of this SOP provides detailed instructions for obtaining Sponsor status. Top of Page Page 5 of 35 The VIPER External Standing Operating Procedures 1-6 Virtual Warehouse 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. 1-7 ACofS, G3 and ACofS, G4 Validation Process 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). 1-8 VIPER Owned Equipment vice VIPER Program Equipment 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. 1-9 VIPER Program Funding 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. 1-10 Semi-Annual Review 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. Top of Page Page 6 of 35 The VIPER External Standing Operating Procedures Chapter 2 VIPER Program Capabilities and Services 2-1 General The VIPER Program offers numerous services to provide logistics support to the QRC Missions. The availability of these services may depend on the availability of funds to support the request/mission. This chapter outlines these capabilities and services. 2-2 Equipment Management a.

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. 6-2 Procedures for becoming Primary Hand Receipt Holder 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.

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. 9-2 Sensitive Items 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). Top of Page Page 16 of 35 The VIPER External Standing Operating Procedures Chapter 10 Maintenance of VIPER Program Equipment 10-1 General 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. 10-3 Basic Support Procedures 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. 10-4 Support Costs 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.
