All equipment (mobile or fixed) required to support the operation and maintenance of a materiel system.

It includes the acquisition of logistics support for the support and test equipment itself. 5. Technical Data. Recorded information regardless of form or character (such as manuals and drawings) of a scientific or technical nature.

Also excluded are financial data or other information related to contract administration. 6. Training and Training Support. The processes, procedures, techniques, training devices, and equipment used to train civilian and active duty and reserve military personnel to operate and support a materiel system.

Packaging, Handling, Storage, and Transportation. The resources, processes, procedures, design considerations, and methods to ensure that all system, equipment, and support items are preserved, packaged, handled, and transported properly, including environmental considerations, equipment preservation requirements for short- and long-term storage, and transportability. 10. Design Interface. The relationship of logistics-related design parameters, such as reliability and maintainability, to readiness and support resource requirements. These logistics-related design parameters are expressed in operational terms rather than inherent values and specifically related to system readiness objectives and support costs of the materiel system.
