Abstract
This project examines a sampling of Army Acquisition Programs in “T2S” (Transition to Sustainment) and analyzes the similarities and differences between programs relative to their planning, execution, and results experienced in terms of Sustainment Phase Performance Metric impacts. This project includes a mixed-method analysis process. Methodology includes published Army policy documents, scholarly articles posted to the internet, published literature, program requirements and acquisition documents, and published program performance metrics. Methods include an analysis of published guidance as it pertains to the definition of T2S, as well as a breakdown of T2S into “macro” and “micro” activities for each program, identifying and categorizing program projects in each category. Methods also include a comparative analysis of the program factors pre-T2S, during T2S, and post-T2S, to include program funding, life-cycle sustainment strategies, program office structure, program and sustainment office interaction, and a breakdown of macro and micro T2S actions relative to their impact on sustainment metrics realized. This project also analyzes the evolving relevant guidance related to the T2S process during the timelines under consideration for each program.
