Do you know each of the 12 Integrated Product Support (IPS) Elements? Could you list them if you were asked? This is something every one of us should be able and prepared to do anytime, anyplace, including both in the workplace and in the classroom. Let me challenge each of the members of the DoD Life Cycle Logistics workforce to memorize and be prepared to explain each of the foundational 12 Integrated Product Support (IPS) Elements. This is a key foundational tenet of our business. There are plenty of others you could make up, but two helpful mnemonics several of our DAU faculty came up with to quickly and easily assist you in memorizing all 12 are:

· Sustaining Engineering
· Maintenance Planning and Management

· Supply Support
· Manpower and Personnel
· Training and Training Support
· Support Equipment
· Computer Resources
