5.1.4.7. Section 7: Required Quantities. For materiel capability solutions, identify required quantities and distribution among applicable DoD Components.

5.1.4.7.1. Total quantities must include both the required operational inventory, as well as required quantities for training, spares, scheduled repair/overhaul pipeline, and anticipated attrition over the projected lifecycle, so that the required operational inventory is maintained.

5.1.4.7.2. Changes to quantities intended solely to accommodate unexpected attrition, or expenditure in the case of munitions, and maintain the required operational inventory, do not require revalidation of the capability requirements.

5.1.4.7.3. Changes to production quantities, or absence of changes to production quantities when consumption or attrition rates change from original planning which result in changes to the operational inventory, will require revalidation of required operational inventory quantities and/or acceptance of the altered operational risk.
