Summary:

Section 2464 of Title 10, United States Code states that it is “essential for the national defense that the Department of Defense maintain a core logistics capability that is government-owned and government-operated...to ensure a ready and controlled source of technical competence and resources necessary to ensure effective and timely response to a mobilization, national defense contingency situations, and other emergency requirements.” Accordingly, all military departments own and operate organic industrial facilities to maintain, repair and overhaul equipment. These facilities are collectively referred to as the organic industrial base (OIB).
