Characteristics
Engineering Logistics CONOP
Automatic Update. The logistics database will be updated at
the time and location of the event. A record of each event will
be maintained for audit and analysis purposes. Proper actions
will be triggered when planning a change and proper updates will
occur as a result of change.
Information Systems Technology. Information systems for
future USCG Logistics System users will be based on
off-the-shelf technology, including tools that facilitate the
production, accessibility, and use of data.
Single Point of Access. Both providers and users will be
able to access and exchange logistics information through their
workstations.
Visibility of the Supply System. There will be total
visibility of the use of the supply system and its performance,
regardless of the source of support (i.e., other government
agency [OGA], commercial, and USCG), as well as the inventory
picture for selected assets at all levels.
E.

Logistics Awareness Program. An information program will
inform all USCG officers, enlisted personnel, and civilian
personnel about the principles, policy, and business practices of
USCG Integrated Logistics.
Common Terminology. Common terminology will be used for
communication and information management.
Standards and Specifications. Established government and
industry standards (e.g., LSA/MILSTD 1388), tailored as
necessary, will be applied to each acquisition and modification.
Standard Configuration of First Platform of Class. The first
platform of a new class or class-wide modernization will be
treated as a prototype until it is retrofitted to conform to a
class standard configuration. Prototype status will mean that
status will mean that special support will be provided to the
platform by the acquisition manager until the first platform is
delivered as a standard operational platform.
Mandatory Allowances. Allowances will be mandatory and
reflect quantities to be maintained.
Equipment Standardization. Equipment/Systems Management,

modernization and standardization and elimination of higher
costs of supporting nonstandard equipments and systems.
