1-2 Scope
The VIPER Program SOP encompasses the procedures necessary for applicable users to acquireequipment from the Mission Stock Record Account (MSRA) Warehouse and Quick ReactionCapability (QRC) Mission support as established in INSCOM Regulation 700-33.
1-3 Applicability
This regulation applies to HQ INSCOM staff elements, subordinate units, contractors, and anyorganization requesting VIPER Program support.
1-4 Responsibilities
INSCOM Regulation 700-33 established the VIPER Program Office to manage the execution of thisSOP and the VIPER Program at large. The VIPER Program Office is under the direction of theMaintenance Division. The Maintenance Division is an operating element of the United States ArmyIntelligence and Security Command (USAINSCOM), Assistant Chief of Staff (ACofS), G4,headquartered at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.
1-5 Sponsors
The VIPER Program is dedicated to rapidly responding to QRC mission needs. To facilitate a rapid,yet managed, response time to QRC requirements, VIPER has implemented a process in whichindividuals assigned to intelligence organizations can receive immediate VIPER Program supportthrough a simple e-mail request. In Accordance With (IAW) INSCOM Regulation 700-33 eachintelligence organization that wants to participate in the VIPER Program must be designated inwriting as an authorized Sponsor by the ACofS, G3. Upon designation by the ACofS, G3, theSponsor holds the authority to approve VIPER Program support as it relates to their organization.Sponsors have full authority to exercise the capabilities and services of the VIPER Program with theexception of those responsibilities reserved for the ACofS, G3 and ACofS, G4 in INSCOM Reg 700-33 paragraph 1-4. Chapter 3 of this SOP provides detailed instructions for obtaining Sponsor status.
1-6 Virtual Warehouse
The MSRA Warehouse is just one of the sources that can be utilized to satisfy equipmentrequirements. Only equipment acquired IAW Chapter 4 will be VIPER owned equipment andmanaged in the MSRA Warehouse. However, under the virtual warehouse concept any equipmentcan be acquired on a temporary basis to accomplish a QRC mission. The VIPER Program Managerwill, upon receipt of a validated VIPER support request; directly coordinate with subordinate units,contractors holding GFE, other DA and DOD agencies, or any other source identified by therequester, to utilize that organization’s assets.

VIPER owned equipment is simply that equipment that has been approved for addition to the programby an ACofS, G3/G4 memorandum and is managed by VIPER. VIPER Program equipment refers toany equipment that has been issued on a consolidated hand receipt through the VIPER Program.
1-9 VIPER Program Funding
The VIPER Program is not funded and therefore must rely upon users of the program to providefunds for each request. To facilitate the exchange of funds, VIPER has a line within the ACofS, G4budget and can receive CCP and BA1 program funds. Other program funds can be utilized but willbe approved on a case by case basis. In all instances, the VIPER PM is responsible for coordinationwith the Sponsors at the time of their request to ensure that adequate resources are available. TheVIPER PM will provide directions for the transfer of funds to support the request. In addition, theVIPER PM will provide budget input to Sponsors to defray the cost of supporting VIPER ownedequipment in the MSRA Warehouse.
1-10 Semi-Annual Review
The VIPER PM will provide the ACofS, G3 a listing of VIPER owned equipment every six months.The list will include recommendations for equipment disposition. The ACofS, G3 is responsible forreviewing the list and validating the requirement to continue maintaining the equipment,concur/nonconcur with recommendations from the Project Manager (PM), and/or make additionalrecommendations.
