The publication addresses Life Cycle Support Strategies, ILS management, life cycle support planning, and sustaining engineering. It specifies a single standard ILS plan applicable to all assets and defines requirements for maintaining support performance, records, and configuration control.
Applies to: All Coast Guard unit commanders, commanding officers, officers-in-charge, deputy/assistant commandants, and chiefs of headquarters staff elements must comply with the provisions of this Manual.
The ILS process provides a management framework and technical activities needed to define and maintain Life Cycle Support Strategies to deliver the right support to the right place at the right time, at a cost the Coast Guard can afford, despite changing environments, mission requirements, and emergent national needs. (paragraph 1-1)
Maintain configuration control of all ILSMT-managed data. (paragraph 1-1)
ILS Management begins as soon as an acquisition program is approved and continues until the asset reaches the end of life and disposal. (paragraph 1)
The objective of the Sustaining Engineering ILS element is to continuously monitor and maintain required asset support performance while minimizing TOC throughout sustainment. (paragraph 3)
Support program performance monitoring must evaluate and maintain records of asset status, condition, and readiness to meet all assigned missions. (paragraph 3)
