Was reinstated on 3 October 2011 with the release of Revision C so that it can be used for new and existing designs and acquisitions. Titled “Work Breakdown Structures for Defense Materiel Items,” the new revision replaces both the MIL-STD-881B from March 1993 and the from July 2005 (which is cancelled by this new release). A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) provides a consistent and visible framework for defense materiel items and contracts within a program. This Standard offers uniformity in definition and consistency of approach for developing all levels of the WBS.

It provides the framework for Department of Defense (DoD) Program Managers to define their program’s WBS and also to defense contractors in their application and extension of the contract’s WBS. Section 1 defines and describes the WBS. Section 2 provides instructions on how the WBS is applied as well as how to develop a Program WBS in the pre-award timeframe. Section 3 provides direction for developing and implementing a Contract WBS and Section 4 examines the role of the WBS in the post-award timeframe. This Standard also provides WBS definitions for specific defense materiel commodity systems in Appendices A through K.
