Book excerpt: Defense Manpower Data Center conducted a survey of DoD procurement personnel at the request of the Defense Financial and Investment Review Study Group. The questionnaire covered the following topics: DoD Pricing; Profit; Contract Financing; Contractor Investment Incentives. The survey was mailed to respondents in the Army, Navy, and Air Force in June, 1984. Overall response rate was 73.9 percent. Respondents agreed that DoD Procurement Policy was effective in the contribution of contract financing policies and practices to maintaining the viability of the industrial base. A majority of respondents disagreed that DoD pricing policies and practices contribute to the policy objective of the lowest possible cost to the government. Personnel believe they are in a good position to negotiate effectively with a contractor. The respondents generally disagreed with treating capital cost of money as part of the cost base for determining profit. Other topics explored were: 1)policies for determining reasonableness of the contractor's employee compensation costs, 2) efficient contractor performance and maintaining the viability of the industrial base, and 3)profits realized by the defense contractors. A majority agreed that increased capital investment by defense contractors would produce cost reductions.

Download or read book Ideas Concepts Doctrine written by Robert Frank Futrell and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this first of a two-volume study, Dr. Futrell presents a chronological survey of the development of Air Force doctrine and thinking from the beginnings of powered flight to the onset of the space age. He outlines the struggle of early aviation enthusiasts to gain acceptance of the airplane as a weapon and win combat-arm status for the Army Air Service (later the Army Air Corps and Army Air Force). He surveys the development of airpower doctrine during the 1930s and World War II and outlines the emergence of the autonomous US Air Force in the postwar period. Futrell brings this first volume to a close with discussions of the changes in Air Force thinking and doctrine necessitated by the emergence of the intercontinental missile, the beginnings of space exploration and weapon systems, and the growing threat of limited conflicts resulting from the Communist challenge of wars of liberation. In volume two, the author traces the new directions that Air Force strategy, policies, and thinking took during the Kennedy administration, the Vietnam War, and the post-Vietnam period. Futrell outlines how the Air Force struggled with President Kennedy's redefinition of national security policy and Robert S. McNamara's managerial style as secretary of defense. He describes how the Air Force argued that airpower should be used during the war in Southeast Asia. He chronicles the evolution of doctrine and organization regarding strategic, tactical, and airlift capabilities and the impact that the aerospace environment and technology had on Air Force thinking and doctrine.

This book was released on 2003-03-31 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is still easy to underestimate how much the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War?--and then the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001?--transformed the task of American foreign and defense policymaking. In place of predictability (if a sometimes terrifying predictability), the world is now very unpredictable. In place of a single overriding threat and benchmark by which all else could be measured, a number of possible threats have arisen, not all of them states. In place of force-on-force engagements, U.S. defense planners have to assume "asymmetric" threats?--ways not to defeat U.S. power but to render it irrelevant. This book frames the challenges for defense policy that the transformed world engenders, and it sketches new tools for dealing with those challenges?--from new techniques in modeling and gaming, to planning based on capabilities rather than threats, to personnel planning and making use of "best practices" from the private sector.
