1.9.4.3 AMSA and ECS maintenance facilities have the same
requirements and will both be referred to as AMSA. These shops
are used primarily to service vehicles, using a full-time staff. The
bulk of maintenance work is performed in these shops.
1.9.4.4 An ECS is a large storage site with outdoor parking areas
and enclosed warehousing of military equipment, typically located at
a larger Government installation. The ECS is designed not only to
store equipment but also to efficiently issue and return equipment
used in training exercises. Facilities which may be associated with
an ECS, if included in the project documentation, are an MEP, fuel
dispensing system, loading ramp, wash platform, indoor equipment
storage warehouse, combat vehicle arms vault, fencing, security
lighting and an AMSA.
1.9.4.5 Common OMS/AMSA/ECS Configurations
1.9.4.5.1 As a separate location, supporting AR units in a
geographical area, a typical AMSA will consist of an AMSA
building with POV area and MEP.
1.9.4.5.2 When collocated with an OMS, and supporting USAR
units in a geographical area, there will typically be an OMS/AMSA
building with shared workbays, a shared POV area, and an MEP.
1.9.4.5.3 If in a separate location, and supporting only an ECS,
there will typically be an AMSA building, POV area, MEP, and any
other ancillary facilities as provided for in the project documents.

1.10.1 The Government generally utilizes two sources of funding for
AR Project
new and add/alter AR projects: MCAR, and Operation and
Funding
Maintenance Army Reserve (OMAR) funds. The construction
documents must identify all OMAR-funded items so that the
bidders can provide separate pricing. Cost estimates must also
differentiate the two types of funds, and OMAR items must be
further divided into furniture and collateral equipment. A list of
OMAR-funded collateral equipment is in Appendix B.
1.10.1.1 All fixed site and building construction is typically
MCARfunded. Unless otherwise directed, all required built-in
equipment and furnishings are also MCAR-funded and will be
included in the design of the project, to be furnished and installed by
the construction contractor.
1.10.1.2 Moveable equipment (items not built into the construction
or hard-connected to utilities, and which could be relocated to
