Discussion of Sustainment Technology Policy and the Sustainment Technology Program (STP):  Greg remarked that he continues to socialize the Sustainment Technology Policy and program within the pentagon, where audiences have been receptive, though non-committal at this time. He would like to “dig up” last years’ draft policy, make necessary format changes, and review it with the JTEG before socializing the policy. A meeting to discuss will be scheduled for early February.

Tom Naguy mentioned that the USAF STP system is in place, however they have no 2017 funding in place. He also stated that Steve Morani, a former JTEG JCS J4 Principal, is starting this week as his new supervisor.
