It is our understanding that the employee in question subverted the DLA agreement by personally contacting officials at the Army catalogue office, directing them not to list the small sizes of MILITEC-1 in the AMDF. When Dr. Ken Oscar (DASA) initially inquired as to why that employee had improperly taken that action, he was informed incorrectly that the Navy had done it.

We are working with ARDEC in its development of performance specifications for a metal conditioner. We are astounded that the TACOM memorandum would postulate that the three NSNs at issue might be authorized for U.S. Army weapons use in eighteen months to three years. This is ludicrous, in light of the SecDef procurement memorandum and FASA, given that the U.S. Secret Service, after extensive testing, mandates exclusive use of MILITEC-1 on weapons and equipment used in the protection of the president and vice-president. Further, the Drug Enforcement Administration requires MILITEC-1 use on its weapons carried in jungle climates, to ensure dependable operation, and several state police agencies require MILITEC-1 exclusively.

Given strong endorsement of MILITEC-l by government and commercial users, it is a direct contradiction of the SecDef memorandum and FASA to prevent military unit commanders from even field testing the product. And to project a three-year further delay in giving field commanders access to the product, when current reports from the field are consistently enthusiastic, not only flies in the face of logic, it suggests an agenda not beneficial to the soldiers the system is in place to support.
