Welcome to the Interim Defense Acquisition Guidebook Homepage

The significant policy revisions associated with the re-issuance of DoD Instruction 5000.02 in December 2008 prompted a complete review and revision of the DAG content. The revised DAG with all the current functionality, and more (including implementation guidance resulting from the Weapon System Acquisition Reform Act of 2009), will be completed and on-line several months from now. While that task is being completed, this site provides an Interim DAG with the same business practice and policy content as the final, but with fewer internal and external navigation options. The objective: To provide you with the information you need to manage your programs while we make the DAG more user friendly. We hope you find the Interim Guidebook a useful resource and look forward to your feedback.
