Course Description broad overview of the role of acquisition logistics The course provides a broad overview of the role of acquisition logistics in the system acquisition life cycle and system engineering processes. Lessons cover the logistics relevant aspects of: * Operational requirements identification * Life cycle costing * Sustainment logistics * Supportability analyses * Contracting * Contractor support. * Traditional elements of logistics support

Course Objectives Comprehend the philosophy and objectives of logistics support and the attendant management functions necessary to achieve those objectives. Gain an understanding of logistics related and logistics impacting disciplines and the policies, procedures and management techniques they employ to aid in the establishment of a logistics support capability Know the environment in which today's defense systems and equipment are conceived, developed, tested, acquired and operated and to understand the part that the commercial sector will play in that environment now and in the future
