Knowledge base from MIL-HDBK-61B, the DoD Configuration Management (CM) guidance handbook (7 April 2020, cataloged with Change 1, 2025). Use for defense CM across the acquisition and sustainment life cycle: the five CM functions (planning, identification, control/change management, status accounting, verification & audit), the three configuration baselines (FBL/ABL/PBL) and FCD→ACD→PCD documentation, configuration items (CIs/HWCI/CSCI), change instruments (ECP/NOR/RFV), the CCB and Class I/II…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

<!-- argument-hint: [CM function, baseline FBL/ABL/PBL, CI, ECP/NOR/RFV, CCB, Class I/II, CDCA, FCA/PCA, data rights/CDRL, MOSA, tailoring/phase, chapter number] -->

# MIL-HDBK-61B — Configuration Management
**Source**: DoD (US Government work, public domain; Distribution A) | **Chapters**: 8

## When to use
Use this skill when you need to apply MIL-HDBK-61B guidance on DoD Configuration Management (CM) across the acquisition and sustainment lifecycle. It covers the five CM functions (planning, identification, control, status accounting, and verification and audit), the three configuration baselines (FBL, ABL, and PBL) and their documentation sets, configuration item selection and management, change instruments (ECP, NOR, and RFV), CCB authority and Class I/II classification, FCA/PCA audits, data management and DFARS data rights, and tailoring CM by phase using the EIA-649-1 framework. Use it when establishing or reviewing a CM program on a DoD acquisition, when classifying a proposed engineering change, or when planning configuration audits.

**Prerequisites:** none, plain Markdown; no MCP server, API key, or licence tier needed at runtime.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jgsystemsconsulting/jgs-se-knowledge-packs/mil-hdbk-61@sha256:ac5cbd58f30a6824

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260626.6ede444, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
