This past winter, I shared insights into the Army Counterfeit Prevention Program, the Army’s Counterfeit Prevention Portal (CAC required) and the New Army Counterfeit Parts and Materials Prevention Guidebook. In support of our Life Cycle Logistics Supply Support competency to “Effectively establish and manage international and global supply support operations”; Sub-competency: “Lead prevention programs for counterfeit material, malicious hardware and software and unauthorized technology transfer”, wanted to also remind community members we offer a range of counterfeit prevention learning assets in our DAU Life Cycle Logistics portfolio, including:

• CLL 032 Preventing Counterfeit Parts from Entering the DoD Supply System
• CLL 062 Counterfeit Prevention Awareness
• Counterfeit Parts ACQuipedia article

Additionally, given the importance of the Government-Industry Data Exchange Program (GIDEP) in identifying and reporting suspected counterfeit parts, components and assemblies under the auspices of DoD Instruction 4140.67 “DoD Counterfeit Prevention Policy” -- as well as the link between Diminishing Manufacturing Sources & Material Shortages (DMSMS) and non-conforming parts -- DAU also offers a series of no-cost learning assets on DMSMS, parts management, and GIDEP that include:

• CLL 200 DMSMS: What Program Management Needs To Do And Why
• CLL 201 DMSMS Fundamentals
• CLL 202 DMSMS Executive Overview
• CLL 206 Introduction to Parts Management
• CLL 207 DMSMS Basic Component Research
• Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) ACQuipedia article
• Government-Industry Data Exchange Program (GIDEP) ACQuipedia article
