[Intro] Ohhh the fielding day feels like the journey’s end… But sustainment’s just beginning, my friend. [Verse 1] When the system hits the field, you might think the work is through, But that’s only chapter one of the life-cycle view. Spare parts, training, tech support in line, Sustainment keeps it working over time. [Pre-Chorus] Every wrench, every bolt, every software patch, Sustainment keeps the mission ready to dispatch. [Chorus] Sustainment Forever—sing it loud and long! Seventy percent of the cost belongs in this song! From fielding to sunset, year after year, Sustainment keeps the warfighter in gear! [Verse 2] Performance Based Logistics—PBL on the page, Measuring reliability through every stage. Depot maintenance humming like a quiet hymn, Supply chains flowing right to the brim. [Pre-Chorus] Mean Time Between Failures—metrics that guide, Keeping availability on the warfighter’s side. [Chorus] Sustainment Forever—sing it loud and long! Seventy percent of the cost belongs in this song! Upgrades, repairs, and readiness checks, Sustainment’s the hero no one expects. [Bridge] Funding colors shift—O&M in play, Modernization creeping in along the way. Tech refresh rising as the years unfold, Keeping systems fighting, brave and bold. [Breakdown] Say “Availability!” (Keep it high!) Say “Reliability!” (Reach the sky!) Say “O-and-M!” (Spend it right!) Sustainment sings through day and night! [Final Chorus] Sustainment Forever—now you know the truth, The mission rides on more than the shiny new youth. Seventy percent of the cost is here— Sustainment keeps the future clear!
