1.3.1 Application guidance.
a. When Logistics Support Analysis (LSA) is required on an acquisition program, the requirements of MIL-STD-1839 should be an integral part of the LSA effort. Data developed as a result of these requirements should be documented in and become part of the LSA documentation.
b. When LSA is exempted or the LSA is tailored to exempt development of the data requirements, MIL-STD-1839 can become an independent compliance document of the acquisition program and tailored in accordance with the contract.
