Department of the Army Pamphlet DA PAM 700-28 Independent Logistics Assessments July 2019 provides a standard framework for assessing the status and/or health of the logistics program in preparation for key milestone decision reviews in the materiel acquisition process. The use of this pamphlet provides guidance for uniform independent logistics assessments (ILAs) across all commodity types (for example; Major Automated Information System (MAIS), combat vehicles, aircraft, electronic, or training equipment) thereby reducing subjectivity in the process. This guidance may be applied to any Acquisition Category (ACAT) program; however, each ILA criterion should be carefully tailored to individual program requirements.This pamphlet is intended for use by personnel involved in systems acquisition, materiel fielding or materiel transfer. The primary authority for conducting ILAs is derived from AR 700-127. While certain aspects of computer resources support are covered by this pamphlet, the use of general purpose information management area (IMA) nondevelopmental item (NDI) equipment, services, and systems that are not embedded in or integral to a materiel system fall under the purview of AR 25-1. The IMA includes the disciplines of automation, telecommunications, records management, printing and publishing, and visual information.
