This publication has been substantially revised and needs to be completely reviewed. This revision reflects changes to Department of Defense (DoD) 5000 series instructions that comprise the Defense Acquisition System, addressing organizational changes including those resulting in the creation of the USSF, and DAFI 63-101/20-101.
