Purpose

The purpose of this pamphlet is to promote Armywide uniform interpretation on the development and execution of projects to sustain or improve existing real property owned or leased and set the Army up for financial auditability success. To accomplish this, the pamphlet discusses work being performed to real property facilities by way of examples, broken down into the categories of work in which they belong. These examples of maintenance, repair, and minor construction projects reflect statutory requirements, DoD, and Army policy and guidance governing the classification of the work. It includes discussions of command and equipment, real property installed equipment and personal property, to assist with determining what can be included in the scope of an operations and maintenance classified project regardless of how it is funded (appropriation or working capital funds). The examples given are not all inclusive and not authoritative; they are presented as guidance. This pamphlet does not contain policy. Policies associated with this pamphlet are in AR 420 - 1 and other Army regulations and their associated pamphlets. The guidance provided herein is presented to assist the field in building defensible cases regarding the classification of the work to be accomplished and not be the cited as justification for making a work classification decision. Maintenance, repair, and minor construction undertakings are not complete until bookkeeping and accounting are finished in both the real property records and the proper accounting of the funds in General Fund Enterprise Business System (GFEBS) and Logistics Modernization Program when applicable. Classification applies to Capital Investment Program projects to repair or improve facilities under the purview of working capital fund capital budget. This pamphlet also discusses common work classification issues associated with managing Army Real Property.
