1. Effective immediately, The Coast Guard Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) Manual,
COMDTINST M4105.14 provides policy and procedures for the practice of the ILS process
throughout the CG.
2. This Manual establishes ILS policy and communicates the ILS process to be applied
when developing, monitoring, and maintaining Life Cycle Support Strategies for
CG assets. All acquisition Program Managers (PMs) and Product Line Managers (PLMs)
shall apply the ILS process described in this Manual. These processes must be applied
to the level necessary to ensure all Coast Guard assets provide known and expected
functionality, availability, and readiness with known risk levels and managed Total
Ownership Cost (TOC) throughout the asset's life cycle.
3. This is the most significant logistics policy and guidance change in 11 years and
replaces 11 previous instructions with one comprehensive manual.
4. This Manual works hand-in-hand with references (A), (B), and (C). It amplifies
and further defines the life cycle support strategy requirements defined therein.
5. COMDT (CG-444) maintains the (ILS) Manual and welcomes recommendations for improvement
or corrections which can be submitted to Jennifer Ozley, 202-372-1703,
Jennifer.D.Ozley@uscg.mil. Any additional changes will be implemented in the next revision.
