What is the process of adding a UTC to the manpower and equipment force packaging called?

The process of adding a UTC (Unit Type Code) to the manpower and equipment force packaging is referred to as UTC Development. This phase involves defining and structuring how units and their resources can be organized and documented. It encompasses determining the specific requirements for personnel, equipment, and capabilities needed for operational effectiveness.

During UTC Development, planners assess the mission needs, align them with available resources, and codify this information into UTCs, which serve as standardized identifiers for forces. This process ensures that each UTC accurately reflects what is necessary to perform specific missions and can be efficiently mobilized and deployed. Thus, the focus is on creating a comprehensive and unified structure that supports mission readiness and response capabilities.
