The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics would like to draw everyone's attention to the AT&L Source Document. This document seeks to provide the acquisition team a foundational set of principles for how we run our business. The three top level slides articulating the "Guiding Principles" can be reviewed by selecting the hyperlink. You can also review the entire AT&L Source Document at https://akss.dau.mil/Documents/Policy/20080207_SGIP.pdf.

The Under Secretary expects everyone on the acquisition team to use the Source Document principles, approaches and goals to guide management and execution of defense acquisition programs.
