In Praise of PBL

摘要

Thank you tor your article, "Buying an Outcome," on Performance Based Logistics (PBL) in your July issue. Isn't it better for our warfighters to focus on warfighting, wherever and whenever possible, rather than maintenance and support? Then we have a better chance of winning the war. It's not that logistics and maintenance are unimportant, but I would prefer that our military be fighting, while our private companies provide the necessary supply chain and repair support, where appropriate and at better cost.
