ACQuipedia: Another Excellent On-line Resource for the Life Cycle Logstician
Last fall, I shared some thoughts on the DAU ACQuipedia. Since many of you are new to this blog, let me take a moment to bring our new readers up-to-date on this outstanding DoD Acquisition Workforce resource. Did you know that among our many other web-based learning assets, DAU is building an extensive collection of articles (now up to more than 300 and growing weekly) on a variety of acquisition and sustainment related topics in our ACQuipedia site? ACQuipedia is intended to provide information on a wide range of specific acquisition topics. Many are linked directly to key topic areas contained in the web-enabled version of the Integrated Defense Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Life Cycle Management System Chart, while many others are stand-alone areas related to important acquisition topics. For the Life Cycle Logistics community, we have 26 articles deployed, with several others in the final stages of development slated to be posted in the coming weeks. Encourage you to peruse the Life Cycle Logistics section of the ACQuipedia on the following topic areas. Check back often, as new articles are regularly being posted.
