Performance Indexing: Assessing the Nonmonetized Returns on Investment in Military Equipment

Abstract : This issue begins with a rarely seen feature in the pages of Defense ARJLetters to the Editor. We often receive comments about the articles published in this Journal, but rarely are we afforded the opportunity to publish them. In this issue we present a readers comments, and the authors subsequent reply, to an article from the July 2013 issue, Current Barriers to Successful Implementation of FIST Principles. We appreciate and encourage this level of open discourse on topics of immediate interest to the Defense Acquisition Workforce.
