NIST 800-53: Configuration Management. Network assets are always in a constant state of change, as systems traverse the network, and software is installed or updated.

Dear Ron, As of Jan. 31, there were close to 1.4 million people serving in the U.S. armed forces, according to the latest numbers from the Defense Manpower Data Center, a body of the Department of Defense. That means that 0.4 percent of the American population is active military personnel.
In 1991, 11 percent of Americans were veterans, but the number of veterans in Congress dropped to 48 percent. And in 2001, 30 percent of members were veterans, and nine percent of Americans had served in the military. The final thing to consider is the number of active duty military personnel over the past 70 years.
