Assignment of Technical Objects
Purpose
You use this process to assign technical objects within your system or beyond system boundaries.
For example, if you are creating an operation contingent, you can relocate technical objects (such as aircraft) from units in the domestic structure to units in the operation contingent. Within an operation, structure changes or tactical operational requirements may make it necessary to change the assignment of technical objects to a force element. These technical objects must then be transferred from one force element to another.
Process Flow
The process flow when assigning technical objects depends on whether the utilizer assignment or owner assignment is to be changed.
