Independent Logistics Assessments (ILAs) validate programs’ planning and implementation of integrated product support, and ability to meet established performance and sustainment requirements. Results of ILAs are primary inputs to milestone and other decision reviews, to include corresponding gate reviews. Reviews conducted after the Full Rate Production (FRP) or Full Deployment Decision (FDD) throughout sustainment will provide leadership with a means to compare actual versus expected performance. The handbook was developed to assist program managers and MDAs in meeting these requirements and provides a uniform and systematic approach in preparing for ILAs. Additionally, it outlines specific evaluation criteria for use by assessment teams and provides program managers with a framework for structuring and executing successful logistics support programs throughout a system’s life cycle.

This handbook includes a comprehensive checklist of items needed to successfully complete an ILA.
