What this publication covers

This publication establishes a basis for designating a lead command or lead agent when one or more organizations possesses or is responsible for a portion of a United States Air Force weapon system, non-weapon system, or activity. A lead command or lead agent is an organization designated by the Secretary of the Air Force or delegated representative to provide input and advocacy for developing and maintaining assigned systems and activities under the oversight of Headquarters Air Force (HAF).

What changed in this edition

This document has been substantially revised. Previous versions of this publication were limited to lead command designations and responsibilities for weapon systems/activities. This publication has been updated to add designations and definitions for non-weapon systems and activities. The “system” refers to both weapon systems and non-weapon systems

Publications state their own changes on page 1 — behind a PDF the official host will not serve to a search engine. This is that section, verbatim. It describes the edition above, not every historical change.
