MISSION
The Publishing and Logistics Systems Management Section (ARDE) is designated as the Marine Corps Central Printing and Publishing Management Organization (MCCPPMO) responsible for providing oversight management and control of the Marine Corps printing and publishing management programs, including the issuance of policy and regulations governing acquisition and management of document services.  ARDE also provides direct support printing and document support services to Headquarters, Marine Corps activities.  Responsibilities in specific functional areas follow:

COPIERS:  The Publishing and Logistics Systems Management Section (ARDE) serves as the HQMC focal point for all copiers and Multi-Functional Devices (MFD) (equipment that copies, prints, scans and/or faxes) located in HQMC office spaces.  To arrange a service call or request supplies or service, customers may call the phone number on the device equipment tag or send email to SMB.HQMC.ARDE.MFD@usmc.mill. Copier technicians routinely respond to requests for supplies and repairs within two hours of receipt of the trouble call.  

FACSIMILE DEVICES & NON-IT OFFICE AUTOMATION EQUIPMENT:  ARDE serves as the HQMC focal point for all Facsimile Devices and other non-IT office automation equipment (such as high-volume shredders).  ARDE provides funding for acquisition and repair of office automation equipment; these requests must be submitted via email to SMB.HQMC.ARDE.MFD@usmc.mil.  In your email, include the following: 
• Specify if device will be used for classified information.
• Repair requests must include the make, model, serial number, location and service problem.
• ARDE will make arrangements for the trouble call, but the using office requesting service must provide escort for access to Pentagon.    

MARINE CORPS PUBLICATIONS ELECTRONIC LIBRARY (MCPEL):  The Marine Corps Publications Electronic Library (MCPEL) can be found on line at the publicly accessible website, www.marines.mil, under the "News" tab at the top.

PRINTING:  ARDE provides printing support for the Marine Corps.  Printing requirements should be submitted to ARDE via email to smb.hqmc.arde@usmc.mil.  High priority printing jobs can be accommodated within 5-10 workdays; routine printing jobs require approximately 30-45 workdays, but complex projects will require more lead time.  Customers must provide either camera-ready hard-copy or electronic files suitable for printing.  HQMC Combat Visual Information Center (CVIC) can provide assistance creating appropriate electronic media.  Customers are urged to contact ARDE in advance to obtain guidance and to ensure the products can be printed and distributed as required and within budget constraints.
