Purpose

This pamphlet provides a standard framework for assessing the status and/or health of the logistics program in preparation for key milestone decision reviews in the materiel acquisition process. The use of this pamphlet provides guidance for uniform independent logistics assessments (ILAs) across all commodity types (for example; major information management system (MAIS), combat vehicles, aircraft, electronic, or training equipment) thereby reducing subjectivity in the process. This guidance may be applied to any Acquisition Category (ACAT) program, however, each ILA criterion should be carefully tailored to individual program requirements.
