Over my long career I’ve accumulated a large library of unclassified government-published references and standards. These documents are all relevant to government logistics and configuration management but focused on the shipbuilding industry. Some of these documents have been canceled but are still relevant for developing logistics products. Even if canceled, they may still be frequently referenced in government Requests for Proposals (RFP). Canceled documents also provide an interesting perspective on how logistics has evolved over the years.
You may download these documents as you like. I’ve identified references that are canceled or superseded, but things change. If you need a current reference you should validate with an official Government source, some of which I’ve identified in the sidebar.
