The Army will implement PBL, when appropriate, on weapon systems in order to provide the war fighter increased operational readiness; increased reliability; enhanced logistics response times; enhanced deployment support; enhanced wartime support; reduction in the logistics footprint; and reduction in logistics costs. The term PSI refers to both government and civilian agencies with which we may establish a contract or an agreement.
