Initial Operational Support: An Alternate Approach.

Abstract

The purpose of the project was to provide a rationale for reevaluating the manner in which weapon systems are introduced into the operational inventory. An alternative approach to this is then proposed. The suggested alternative was based on the author's experience in fielding three systems in two separate programs from a position within the acquisition organization. Facts, assumption, and conclusions necessary to support the proposed alternative are documented by reference to separate, independent research sources. The resulting approach is an amalgam from the programs worked directly by the author and the experience of associates in similar endeavors. (Author)
