Editorial Policy:

The primary intent of ASPB is to support the professional development of US Army personnel in the sustainment warfighting function by providing a professional information forum for a wide variety of professional development information focused on the sustainment warfighting function.

ASPB content:

The content of ASPB directly supports the mission of CASCOM as the Sustainment Center of Excellence with proponency for all sustainment branches, as established in AR 5–22.

Typical content for ASPB includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• Technological developments in sustainment.
• Sustainment strategy, tactics, techniques, and procedures.
• Sustainment focused “How-to” pieces.
• Practical exercises.
• Training methods for sustainment.
• Historical perspectives.
• Monographs and summaries of sustainment-focused research papers.
• Views and opinions concerning sustainment.
• Letters to the editor when the letters’ contents relate to sustainment.
• Short biographies of authors to demonstrate professional credentials.
• Short bulletin-type items summarizing official Army actions that directly relate to sustainment.

Items that are not appropriate for publication in ASPB (and that will not be published) are:

• General personnel information not specifically related to sustainment. This information is usually available through command information and official channels.
• Routine personnel items, such as listing graduates of courses, promotions, and awards.
• General military-related news articles that do not have significant professional development value for the sustainment community.
• Letters to the editor commenting on the quality of the bulletin or other matters that do not contribute to the mission of CASCOM.
• “Personality-type” articles, except for those that have historical significance.
• Articles, photographs, or other materials that promote self-aggrandizement of an Army or non-Army individual, group, or institution.

ASPB publishes between 15 and 20 articles per quarter in the print and pdf edition of ASPB, and also publishes additional online-only content. ASPB serves the entire sustainment community and strives to have a variety of content that represents the professional development needs of the entire sustainment warfighting function. ASPB also strives to provide a variety of content that addresses all levels of military operations, and aims at having a generally even mixture of strategic, operational and tactical level content.
