Maintenance Management in a Military Intelligence Brigade

摘要

Enhancing the Army's intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capability has been a strategic priority for the past decade. However, the traditional acquisition model is not agile enough to field technologically relevant ISR equipment. This has led to the procurement of nonstandard ISR equipment, much of which has been maintained with contractor support. The 2014 Army Strategic Planning Guidance lists a modern, ready Army as a priority. Leaders at all levels must assist in validating nonstandard equipment as programs of record, providing sus- tainment plans that are auditable and less risk averse in a fiscally constrained environment.
