This online training (OLT) course provides defense acquisition workforce professionals with an introduction to Independent Logistics Assessments (ILA), which are formal reviews of the state of a program’s product support, sustainment and logistics planning and documentation. These reviews, governed by 10 U.S.C. 4325 and DoD Instruction 5000.91, require the military departments to conduct an ILA of each major weapon system prior to key acquisition decision points (including milestone decisions and the Full Rate Production decision) to identify features that are likely to drive future operating and support costs, changes to system design that could reduce such costs, and effective strategies for managing such costs. The course also provides an overview of the ILA process described in the DoD ILA Guidebook and key focus areas identified in the Services' ILA guidance.
